Se post #7 in this thread. Get "Signals Calls and Marches" by Mission of Burma, then you will understand. Then you will need "Vs."

I'm surprised that you are a fan of Pixies but can't get into Dinosaur.

I'm incredibly picky with music. I don't listen to anything unless it really really hits me on some level. I only listen to about 20 bands really.. the list grows by 1 or 2 bands a year, sometimes none... the list even shrinks now and then lol.

But I'll give them a second chance. Sometimes it takes a long time for me to get into something. some of my favorite bands now I couldn't stand a year ago until somehting made me go back to them for some random reason.

I'll also check those other bands too.

Was Joshua a lemon-picker? :confused:

Are you seriously telling me that you aren't familiar with U2's best album? :eek:

I was trying to make a joke.

EXPLANATION:

The joke was that if you substitute the name Joshua with the word "lemon", then you get the title of an obnoxious hit made by the German group Fool's Garden a few years ago.

POSTSCRIPT:
Yes, I know:
It wasn't much of a joke, but it wasn't much of a song, either..
