Contrary to what the article says, he did commemorate MCIS with a mammoth box set and reissue in 2012.

Seriously, T. Swift "major artistic merit" ??? How much did they pay you for that one Stereogum?

Why would he even waste his time? He was writing about Scott Weiland. He didn't take any swipes at anybody.

People take crap like this far too seriously. Some guy was being a jackass on twitter, big deal. The public LOVES to tear down anyone with notoriety who makes a public gaffe or puts their foot in their mouth. It's a form of mob rule and pack mentality.

Pavement wrote plenty of songs as good or better than Weezer. For instance: Silent Kid, Cut Yr Hair, Here, Range Life, Major Leagues, Spit on a Stranger, Shady Lane, Rattled By the Rush, Unseen Power of the Picket Fence, and on and on. Your assertion that they didn't is completely bunk. Weezer's only good albums are their first two. Also, you're in college? Well la-di-frickin-da.

Quite possibly the worst ACL lineup ever.

The drummer walking around with sticks air drumming was deliberately done by Live as a nod to INXS and the "Need You Tonight" video where their drummer was doing the same.

'Purple' is such a great rock album. One of the best of the 90's for sure. This was the 2nd rock cassette I ever bought when I was 10 years old, the first was 'New Miserable Experience' by Gin Blossoms. You can really hear the Zeppelin influence STP had on this album. Killer riffs and really interesting song arrangements. Some of the acoustic bridges in certain songs sound like they could have come straight off of 'Houses of the Holy' or 'IV'. If not better than Pearl Jam they were at least just as good. There's a mysterious vibe to 'Purple' that 'Vitalogy' also has. There's just something really special about 1994. Probably the last truly great year for rock music.

Blink 182 was, is, and always will be a terrible band. Pale imitation of Green Day who are ten times the band and musicians that Blink are. Travis Barker is overrated. Terrible snare sound and overly busy meth'd out drumming. Tom DeLonge also had one of the most awful grating voices in rock music ever.

If there was a band called "The Fa##ots" you would all be up in arms about it. But apparently it's OK for this band to be called "Viet Cong" since the Vietnamese community is irrelevant to you.

If this band called themselves "The Faggots" you all would be up in arms about it. But since the Vietnamese community is apparently irrelevant to you all you are OK with the band name "Viet Cong".

I like Noel and his crazy opinions, but he needs to lay off Jimi. That's hallowed ground right there, and Jimi's version of 'All Along The Watchtower' is the definitive version of the song. Even Dylan thought so.

You are tone-deaf clearly. The melody is exactly the same.
