just want to let stones fans know of an amazing band that is the most exciting band since the stones,old 97s.they been around 20 years,get there new record,most messed up,its exile on main street good.

"Rhino Entertainment released Hit by a Train: The Best of Old 97's, an eighteen track compilation of songs from the band's beginnings through 2001, featuring liner notes and an essay by rock critic Robert Christgau"

Rhino + Christgau? Sounds interesting...

Know of them but only know one song. Never actually sought them out, but somehow I got ahold of their album Fight Songs, and I remember how amazing it was. Still listen to the album once a year. And I know while I was in Asbury Park tonight that they are playing at the Stone Pony within the next month or so.

Probably should check out the rest of their catalogue, but I could at least say Fight Songs is a great modern rock album.

After your Robin/Andy Gibb comment I'm a bit hesitant now . .

OK, I'm cynical.

Great band. From Texas. They give incredible live shows. The songwriter is an incredible wordsmith.

For Stones fans, you have to accept a little twang in your rock and roll, but they have never disappointed me.
