I got the MMJ bug in April of last year. I am still,(intentionally), not completely familiar with their complete catalog. After 10 months of being a fan, I still feel bored with all of my old favorites. I put on some MMJ, and it transforms my mood, and makes all of my old faves seem pedestrian. I have been a Who fanatic for over 30 years, and any idea that someone was in their league was absurd. I have to say, Okonosis is the only music to ever challenge Live at Leads, and for completely different reasons. So, when will I get used to Jim's voice and put them in the category of all of my other lifetime favorites? I will turn 50 this summer, so I have some serious perspective.
It never ends!!!!!! Just gets more Intense!!!!

Well if that's not damn truth...
I'm reminded of the reaction of two NPR hosts following the March 13, 2008 SXSW Austin, TX show. Take a listen:

You had me worried, so worried that this would last

I get
Okonosis all the time on Friday nights!!! ;D ;)
It seems like The Who to MMJ is a natural progression. ;)
:thumbsup:
It never ends. It gets progressively worse for the better.
I hear you loud and clear. I'm 39 and have been a Pearl Jam fanatic for 20 years. I too didn't think I could ever consider another band as a favorite. I think that changed.... I got the MMJ bug a few years ago and now realize that these guys are too good to describe (transforms moods, puts smiles on faces, thought provoking lyrics, all out rocking, etc.).
I highly recommend getting all of MMJ's back catalog. Do not delay... you will be blown away song after song. After listening to Okonokos over and over, I went and got all of their old stuff (albums, EPs, live releases, individual songs on various soundtracks/shows). Now that I "discovered" the old stuff, I can't wait for what is next. Enjoy!

"Its like staring in to a vast and expanding euphoric void and its filled with all your hopes, dreams and reverb...you step back and wipe your eyes because you cant believe this is real, but you know it is...and you grin knowing that all is well in that moment and you can allways go back...allways." whoa :dankk2:
Speaking of The Who, It's the 41st anniversary of some show they did in Leeds. Heard it was a good one ;D
Once they got ya, they got ya. It will NEVER end!!! :D
