My band played with a band called the Golden Gears this weekend. They're from Nashville, so some of you guys should go check them out soon. I noticed that their Myspace pages says , in the Sounds Like section, "Built to Skynyrd". I thought that was clever. I think you guys would dig them.

They put on a good show. We're gonna try to get up there and play with them soon.

Never heard them.  Where should I start?

Never heard them.  Where should I start?

This was just brought up in the "How To Buy" thread. I've gotten a few more of their albums since this thread was created and i can safely say that all their albums are great. Its hard so say where to start, i told DB that Keep It Like A Secret might be the way to go. I think a lot of people would say There's Nothing Wrong With Love is their best one, but it lacks the richly layered sounds of their later albums. Ancient Melodies Of The Future and You In Reverse are really good and seem to be underrated. The only ones I would stay away from for a first purchase is Ultimate Alternative Wavers and Perfect From Now On. I've only heard a few songs from Ultimate... and the songs from Perfect.... are pretty lengthy and complex and takes awhile to get into.

I'd start with Keep It Like A Secret

[ManNamedTruth]

anyone hear the two new songs from the single yet? I like them.

[sweatboard]

Has anyone heard Built To Spill's version of Freebird?   :o

It's a beast.

[mjkoehler]

uhh no? Where would one by chance cum across that glorious sounding cover?

[sweatboard]

Here you go.....

Nice - thanks Brian!

I've just put Keep it Like a Secret on my "to buy" list - I only have You In Reverse...

I've been infatuated with Keep It Like a Secret for the past couple months, especially the gorgeous "You Were Right", but it's the only BtS album I've ever heard.   :-/

I really regret not going to see them when they came this way.

it's time to get Perfect From Now On... it's time!  do it (you won't regret it)

The last time I saw them do Stop the Show (below) it lasted about 18 minutes.

I knew you'd come through Tracy, but man alive what a song!  That album will be mine as soon as possible.
