An Interesting article about Adams in the NY Times touching on his new album, recent sobriety, and new girlfriend. It seems that Ryan Adams is turning over a new leaf with a much stronger, more focused album than his previous bag of songs – good article for all Adams fans…
If you haven’t dropped what you’re doing and and bought the latest Adams record, Easy Tiger – do it now. It rocks. Adams is truly the defining pioneer of alternative country…or rock…or whatever. He is so damn cool. check out this interview…
Track 6:Oh my God, whatever… (my sentiments exactly)
if you buy on itunes you get an awesome video of the track “two” – i highly suggest you view this performance…amazing.
Not the authoritative list, but just a quick one i thought of off the top of my head. I’m open for suggestions…bored…wow. I’m not sure what the criteria is – i guess quality of the artists???
1. The Beatles
2. Bob Dylan
3. Neil Young
4. Elvis Presley
5. Micheal Jackson
6. Nirvana
7. Ray Charles
8. Janis Joplin
9. Tom Petty
10. MUSE
On this blog, we appreciate even condone bizarre behavior but Ryan Adam’s website this time has made me afraid to go to his next show. I’m actually scared of what he might do. He is quite possibly the most entertaining musician i can think of. Notably for his offstage antics and just overall attitude about just about everything…he doesn’t take anything too seriously and i think we get that, and aspire to it as well i’m not ashamed to say…He’s WEIRD. REALLY WEIRD.
Don’t get me wrong, we LOVE Adams and think he is incredibly talented, not to mention hilarious, and we have even thought about getting him to play our wedding somehow, someway (i think telling him free drinks would do the trick) but this time around, his website baffles me. Truly funny stuff. This is much weirder than Microroboticon – that was funny actually…well, this is funny too…you just have to see it to understand…I actually heard a few new tracks on the website, i just couldn’t find any info on them -are they new? When will he release them and on what album??? The site also has random stuff, blogs, pics, and a video game. Hmmmm….
Here is the site URL: Ryan Adams
We love Ryan Adams…did i mention that we really like him? Yeah. We’ve seen him multiple times have all his records and all that, but more importantly, we can’t wait to hear when he is touring again – i mean a new record…that should be soon i think knowing him…
And Ryan, if you Google your name from time to time, we saw you in Columbus, Ohio (2004) “taking a stroll ” (with a paper bag) before the show…we wanted to invite you in but you were grizzly adams then, so i wasn’t sure if that was you…but anywho…that was a great show.
Reverend Strange, and 
Andy are discussing.

wow, this is a difficult list to make!!! hmmm, are we looking at length of time that the artist has been recording, volume of work, impact, pure numbers – ahh, it’s impossible! one thing that i would definitely say is that muse should move up in the ranks. although i love tom petty, i think that overall his songs are pretty similar – although he really has staying power and has done some amazing collaborations (travleing wilburys, stevie nicks, etc.) anyway, we could discuss this for a while when i get home. i love you and miss you so so so much!!!!

Michael Jackson…? On numbers alone, maybe, but he certainly doesn’t do it for me. I guess that’s the beauty of pop music, though; each to our own, eh? I’d have the Kinks in there, as you wouldn’t have most post 60s pop without them, and Muse, well, they’re kinda like the b*stard son of Queen and Radiohead, but I guess I’d still have them in my top 100.

Muse? I think Coldplay and Queen are definite contenders.

well as i said, it is not an authoritative list – just my own (for the moment) 2 pak – NO WAY. Janis was on there for a bit then she got bumped…

First of all Andy, Queen was probably a major influence for MUSE, and as for Coldplay…are you kidding? You cannot even put MUSE and Coldplay in the same sentence. I mean i like Coldplay – i’ll listen to it in the background or something but you’ve got to be kidding me.

from mrs. parks….
the beatles, john lennon, bob dylan, nirvana, muse, neil young, i don’t know who else – i’m not sure if i’m making the list based on artists i love or the all around winners. if we’re going with artists i love, then i would also add alice in chains, tenacious d, the killers, elliot smith
