VHM Todd, although I know I'm in the minority... why do so many folks hate this song?  Who doesn't want to bang on thier boss's head?

We hear it too much, it's too repetitive, but at least it has a bass solo!

Not a fan of Floyd but I LOVE T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets.  Easily the best thing I read in college and still very impactive on my life-approach.

And no crankypants today, but WWWOS to Todd and his drums.

The ska version by Bad Manners is a nice alternative.

Got me--it's not his best but I don't hate it either. Probably the most danceable song he ever did.

There are too many Todd purists out there.  If this song were done under a pseudonym or as a side project it would probably be better received these days.

But if you're having a bad day at work, nothing better than fantasizing about "banging on the drum like it was my boss' head."

This U2 song's pretty cool. And non-Katrinaiatric.

Todd's an guilty displeasure for me, mostly.  Some of his stuff is okay, but none of it really excites me.  BOTD is the only one I despise, and it has nothing to do with it being Todd doing it.  It just grates on my nerves.  Some people can handle nails on chalkboard, others can't...

One of my best friends at UCSB, named Jeff, just died this last weekend of a heart attack.  I was best man at his wedding, read Eliot there.  We use to stay up all night quoting Four Quartets.  Ch-ch-changes.

Never bought any Floyd after "The Wall", so this is unfamiliar.  Sounds good though.


That wasn't the worst decision you could have made--there wasn't much Floyd worth buying after The Wall. This album is a footnote, they were in last gasp mode with The Final Cut.

We can all agree that "Who Can It Be Now?" can officially, like, never played again, right? Just me? That's cool.

Still pissed at Michael Bay, though.

Geoff, my sincere condolences on your friend's passing.  I hope there's some comfort that when you see him again you will both know the place for the first time.
