10.29.08 | 8 points for Aaron Rodgers, mwhuahhh. I have McNabb and Pennighton raring to go with Romo on the bench. I think i'll start Pennington and trade McNabb for a running back.

10.29.08 | I have Trent Edwards as a backup, but I'm determined to stick by Aaron. Especially after a bye, and a short week for Tennessee.
Thanks for the rec's guys. |

10.29.08 | both Tommy and Downward Spiral belong to the greatest albums of all time.
Pink Floyd - The Wall (you know it?... of course you do ;) )
Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
I don't like the music of Operation: Mindcrime that much but the story kicks ass.
there are a lot of other great concept albums I know but none of them really tells a story the way these do. however, somehow story-based and amazing are these:
Neutral Milk Hotel - The Aeroplane Over the Sea
The Decemberists - The Crane Wife
David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust
glad no-one recommended Metropolis pt 2 yet, the most stupid story I've heard in my whole live. |

10.29.08 | oh shit, mendigo's gonna be pissed!
tbf, the story on SFAM is dogshit, but the music's pretty good if you're in the mood for ridiculously wanky prog-metal. |
Mendigo
10.29.08 | oh here you go ;)
tbh, spoon you have a number of great concept albums here (and a number of weak ones - and a whole lot of albums I've never listened to) but stuff like Precambrien, El Cielo, As the Roots Undo and so on do not tell a "story"
however, I've forgotten Still Live and Year Zero (maybe because I don't like them that much). |

10.29.08 | well i'd actually agree with you on those three, but in interviews (or even in the liner notes in the case of ATRU) the band members have claimed that the albums are story-based. i guess if you read enough into the lyrics you could just about point out a story. i felt they were worth a mention anyway, as they're amazing albums. |

10.29.08 | Greg Jennings is my main man so here's to hoping Aaron has a big day. |
