Reader Reviews
Let me start by saying that The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Pearl Jam's Vitalogy, Joni Mitchell, Metallica's Master of Puppets, and of course Bob Dylan are still the tops of all time. But I just can't help but comment on the 'sleepers'. The G.S. fits this to a tee. Keep your hands to yourself is cute - nuff said. battleship chains showed us a bit more versatility to them. but "Nights Of Mystery" and it's bleed into "Every Picture Tells A Story" is one of the few "i remember exactly where I was when I first heard that song" songs out there. I know the intersection I was passing when I first heard Eddie Veder bark out the lines to "Last Exit" just as I did when the first guitar riff of "Nights of Mystery" kicked in. I agree this was a band in the rough - but they came together on those last two - pulling both melody, originality, and most importantly an expansion of a cover tune (nearly impossible to do) as their own. Heck I don't even think they were ever aware of the strength of those last two tracks - they don't even appear on the greatest hits. In short - they dared to take a haunted southern spin on their guitars during a time when "pour some sugar on me" blared across our radios. Had they followed this 'root' sound of theirs, I believe they would be much more than a favorite tune to play at hillbilly weddings.
