Grand Funk's "Live Album". C'mon.

--- Quote from: Kai on 17 Dec 2007, 16:01 ---all I know is that the past few months I've mostly just listened to the Velvet Underground. It is hard to find new music you like when you would much rather just listen to "Sweet Jane".

Same here.  try and listen to Justice, get three tracks in, & I have to spin Sister Ray.  Listen to 2 Merzbow tracks, then i can't help but put on Loaded.

Also, this guy did a partial discography for them, if anyone's interested.

I've been meaning to figure out, where do I start with this band?

It's difficult for me to put on music for friends and then have them not be interested in it at all.  I'm just thinking "what?  Aren't they hearing this?"  They just don't hear the same things I do because what they value in hanging out with me is not the music I'm playing (which they might think is "pretty cool") but the conversation we might have or where we might go.  The friend I mentioned earlier likes music, but he does other things more.  For instance, he reads a lot more than I do.  I would say that reading is one of my hobbies, but I listen to music more.  He does the opposite.  He also considers lyrics more important than I do, or at least puts higher standards on the lyrics.  I'm more interested in sound.  It's not that I don't like lyrics, or that I ignore them (I don't), it's just that I'm looking at the overall sound more. 

I guess I should think of his interest in music like my interest in, I dunno, graphic novels (something he is really into).  I think they can be interesting, but I just don't get what makes them so great.
