1. Q: Where should a new MMJ fan start?
   A: It depends on your taste in music. Most new fans should start with Z and Okonokos and work in reverse chronological order. However, if you like country, It Still Moves is a great place to start. Don't touch At Dawn or Tennessee Fire until you own Z, Okonokos, and It Still Moves.

country? I think of ISM as more of a southern rock album.

I gotta disagree with you on this.  At Dawn was the perfect album to get me into the Jacket.  It's been a love affair since then.

Maybe for you, but At Dawn might seem more inaccessible to fans who know MMJ by Gideon and Off the Record. Okonokos gives you much more appreciation for these songs.

1. Q: Does MMJ sound like Lynard Skynard?
   A: No. Next question.

They may not sound like them, but they respect the hell out of them.  ;)

I'm sorry Dark but you just can't say that.
I think there's a big difference between questions like "what's that thing Jim plays?" or "is it true that MMJ were in a movie?" where we can give answers based on fact & questions like this one where the answer in based on opinion & will change depending upon who you speak to.

for reals.  just the facts.  Most popular song is a gray area but Mahgeeta has to be on the list in lieu of gideon. Also, it's lynyrd skynyrd, all ys.  but seriously dude, leave the opinions to be discussed, we'll answered the stuff you can actually prove.

If you really want to take the helm on this thing, go find the origianl faq thread and compile the questions forum members have already brainstormed.  Then we can all help answer the questions.  

[aMD]

I been thinking.  Might it be a better idea to just edit MMJ's wikipedia profile and make it really kickass.  That way the information will be accessible to everyone.  I think you have to register to edit or add categories but that might not be a bad way to compile an faq.

[The DARK]

Yeah, been thinking that. I don't know how to update Wikipedia, though. Do you know? If not, we'll have to ask CC Baxter or the Data Dawg, Kory. I still thought it might be helpful to have a place where we can collect all this data.

And I'll remove all the objective questions. Could someone give me some more questions?

I'll also edit some of the categories.

   A: Jim's Cousin

I still think that's Jim.

It's Johnny Quaid, former guitar player and Jim's cousin.  No question.  At the beginning of the message he says, "Hey Jim, it's your favoritest cousin on the Quaid side of the family"  and then later talks about being in the band and that Jim had better finish that EP (Chocolate and Ice) by the next time he sees him.
