\*\* RobotArm\*\* > [@](#): > > Moe, your tastes do seem pretty diverse. Of course, Steve Reich and anybody is pretty diverse. True. I figured the mention of Reich would balance out against the rest of my list which was primarily jazz/fusion. And as long as you’re in here I may as well mention that **Uncle Bonsai** ’s _Myn Ynd Wymyn_ is another one of my recent purchases that not only can I not stop listening to, but I can’t even get out of my head. I hum these tunes to work almost every day lately. Can’t wait till the Bottom Line show. \*\* Coldfire\*\* > [@](#): > > The last album I bought that really amazed me was Yes’ The Ladder. Great stuff. Really? I’ve heard mixed opinions but I should get it anyway, it being one of the few yes albums I don’t own. Did you happen to catch 'em this most recent tour. Whattafuckin show!! They pulled out all my favs - Gates, Starship, Ritual, Heart of the Sunrise, etc. BTW Jon Anderson is a guest vocalist on the new Bela Fleck album. So tell me more about the **Me First and the Gimme Gimmes** I’ve never heard of them but **RobotArm** who seems to know his music speaks highly of them, and **Mishell** , a Grateful Dead fan (deadhead here) likes 'em. What’s they’re deal? New/old? Instrumental/lyrical? Improv/composition? Dark/light? Oh, and I’ll just make mention of **Tuck & Patti** ’s _Paradise found_ which I bought probably a few months ago and can’t get enough of. Tuck Andress may be the jazz guitarrist of his kind (i.e. more comping in support of Patti’s vocals rather than soloing) ever. ---

I went and bought a CD out of my high school days. Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables by the **Dead Kennedys**. I am listening to “Kill the Poor” right now. What a magnificent album. MR ---

Bon Jovi It’s better then I expected. ---

**Moe** , > [@](#): > > So tell me more about **Me First and the Gimme Gimmes** I’d never heard of them until a week or so ago, when they came up in some other threads here (Best weird songs, best cover versions, or something of that nature. Apparently **SwimmingRiddles** is quite taken with them as well.) They do punk covers of songs that most punk bands would not think to cover. **MF and the GG** _Are a Drag_ is all showtunes. I saw another of their CDs in the rack, and it was things like _Seasons in the Sun_. ---

Moe: this may sounds like a bold statement, but I honestly think that “The Ladder” is the best Yes album since 90125. ---

I much prefer the 70’s progressive stuff to the poppy 80’s stuff, though I do like _Drama_. But I did hear the one single (In 7 IIRC, but I forgot the title) on the radio and liked it. They didn’t do anything from The Ladder at the show i saw. ---

You’re forgiven - I like both, myself. But The Ladder can be compared to 90125 because all the tunes are so well-composed. Not a complete show-off of skills, rather a very harmonious album with a wide variety of musical influences. Anyway, give it a try 😉 ---
