Yours Truly Curmudgeons recently dedicated an episode to counting down our selections for the 30 greatest cover songs of all time. Co-host Arturo Andrade had a lot to say about Oasis's take on "Cum on Feel the Noize." A thread/1.

@JWeinbachNBA More likely: Giannis to Minn, Gobert to Atlanta, Daniels/Randle to MIL, Turner/Kispert to CHI and at least four picks to MIL, including the #8 and #15 picks in this draft.

@SleeperCeltics @Sleeper_Hoops @SleeperTWolves I say no. Gobert doesn't give than much more than Queta on offense.

@esidery They'd be crazy to do this. Better: Trade IH to Bulls for two firsts. Trade Wallace and three picks to Dallas for #9...draft Mara.

@hiattb Well, that would just be stupid. But enough of us did that with The Strokes, which, I realize, is a tier below.

@hiattb Produced by Keith Moon...

@hiattb The world is basically divided now into people who only want to hear the music and see the performer and people who only want to see the drug-addicted child abuser. We may never get a holistic treatment of Michael...

[The Curmudgeon Rock Report @CurmudgeonPod]

@hiattb I'm down with this so long as we make Mingus Ah Um standard issue for every man, woman and child...

[The Curmudgeon Rock Report @CurmudgeonPod]

@JohnJHarwood Dude, it says last 50 years... In herently post-dates Koufax. Reading is fundamental...

[The Curmudgeon Rock Report @CurmudgeonPod]

@hiattb This an utterly ridiculous, lazy-ass take...

[The Curmudgeon Rock Report @CurmudgeonPod]

@hiattb Sarcasm just doesn't translate for some people. Jeez...

[The Curmudgeon Rock Report @CurmudgeonPod]

@Seferyn @hiattb Two major influenced on the album: Van Morrison and John Frusciante. Doesn't get mentioned enough, oddly.

[The Curmudgeon Rock Report @CurmudgeonPod]

@hiattb @MikeIsaac Bingo. The From the Basement recording should make mucho converts.

[The Curmudgeon Rock Report @CurmudgeonPod]

@hiattb Make Double Nickels on the Dime standard issue...

[The Curmudgeon Rock Report @CurmudgeonPod]

@hiattb Hadn't thought of John Spencer as a compare for 3D Country. Good call. Me personally, I hear a lot of Todd Rundgren and ELO and Bob Weir and just a fascinatingly odd blend of '70s smartboy classic rock.

[The Curmudgeon Rock Report @CurmudgeonPod]

@hiattb Young people are rapidly losing their sense of history...it's actually pretty shocking. While we cover a lot of '60s through '80s, we've purposely made serious-minded 28-year-olds our target listener persona.

[The Curmudgeon Rock Report @CurmudgeonPod]

@hiattb Alas, money is green...

[The Curmudgeon Rock Report @CurmudgeonPod]

@hiattb And to think I still love Devil Without a Cause and his self-titled country debut...

[The Curmudgeon Rock Report @CurmudgeonPod]

@hiattb Is that Albarn?

[The Curmudgeon Rock Report @CurmudgeonPod]

@DecodingFoxNews System of a Down, too...

@Seferyn @hiattb Might take a hi-fi download, good headphones and a lyric sheet to fully get it. Once I did that, I was blown away. Winter is clearly adherent of Astral Weeks-era Van Morrison and Jimmy Miller-era Rolling Stones.
