it was marketing research, so i'm on a computer for three hours looking up shit.  just hate when people say there isn't any good music now-a-days. "classic-rock head"  you know the type nothing past 77 is good, even though they were born in the 80's.

What kills me is these forty something classic rock guitar instructor guys that swear by The Allman Brothers and Zepplin yet they will tell you the only thing worth listening to these days is Nickleback and Seven Mary Three.  I played a couple of guys that have made this comment or a similar one some My Morning Jacket tunes thinking "ah, you are so wrong, allow me to blow your mind"....they listen and they're like "it's allright I guess, hey did you know I saw the lead singer from Nickleback at a tittie bar once, he shook my hand"   :o

Nice, I have a marketing research class this semester too.  Too bad it's at 9:30 tomorrow.  I've gotta hit the sack :-/

Just hearing or even reading that name makes me want to vomit all over everyone in that band and all of their fans

I used to be one of those guys who didnt think there was any good music after 77, even though im born in the eighties. My Morning Jacket was actually pretty important in opening my eyes to new music. Ironically though, MMJ are getting more and more similar to the feeling of Led Zeppelin to me. The band that was the one and only for three or four years.

Glad you came around. There will always be great music being made.
