That's true. I forgot nirvana was already in. I agree that Pat Smear is awesome though. He added another element to the band when he (re)joined the band.

I'll have to check out the miniseries sometime

No, they should DEF induct the entire Foos especially because of Pat Smear. Freakin legendary. Grohl already got in with Nirvana. My personal fave from the miniseries was Nashville and the vid Congregation they shot with Zac Brown on guitar and BGVs. Too bad they NEVER put that vid on YouTube (drives me absolutely effin insane). I'm just gonna purchase the epi off of iTunes (mainly for the vid at the end).

Over on the 4 letter, there is already an article about how the NCG is kind of a "glorified SEC game"...because Clemson is so similar to SEC schools.

Barf. Already laying the groundwork to hedge in case Clemson and their actual offense pose a threat and beat Bama.

I completely agree. Muse is probably my favorite band on the planet and has been since "Showbiz." To compare Green Day and Muse is apples to oranges. They're completely different in every way imaginable, though uniquely talented. I would argue that both are similarly innovative in that both bands attempted their own unique rock operas; Green Day's "American Idiot" was wholly unique, albeit dated, while Muse's "The Resistance" arena rock/anthemy attempt channeled a lot of classical music in a newish way. I love Muse and I love the way that "Drones" returned to their earlier sound; I just feel like sometimes Matthew Bellamy needs to get out of his own way and lay off the hot button political commentary.

And Jethro Tull and early Rod Stewart and a bunch more. But hey, let's not forget those monsters of British rock, Herman's Hermits!!! Okay, I left out the Monkees on purpose. But, obviously, I seriously and facetiously digress.

Edit: Really, though, I dissed Eric Clapton, John Mayall, Traffic...OK, I'll quit. The more I drink, the more I rememberate.

Americana has covered my musical needs for several years now. I lament the ebbing of the tide, though, and have trouble connecting with the many talented artists that find themselves in that genre. It is such a "catch all" of musical genres, I can't find many places to find them rounded up like in the days of "Americana" stations or programming. Chalk it up to my technophobia, as well, but I know there's stuff out there I'd love but won't hear.

Based on career statistics/relevance in the league, my Mount Rushmore right now would be:
Bruce Smith, Michael Vick, Carroll Dale and Antonio Freeman.

Others under consideration would be:
DeAngelo Hall, George Preas, Buzz Nutter, Mike Johnson, Robert Brown

Two current players who have legitimate shots to move into the conversation:
Duane Brown and Kam Chancellor

Wow, what a career:

Richmond Speed (2000)
New Orleans Saints (2000)*
Seattle Seahawks (2001)*
Buffalo Bills (2001)
Seattle Seahawks (2002)*
Carolina Panthers (2002)
Cincinnati Bengals (2003–2009)
Baltimore Ravens (2010)*
New York Giants (2010)
New England Patriots (2010)
Washington Redskins (2011)*
Dallas Cowboys (2011)*
Miami Dolphins (2011)
Baltimore Ravens (2011)
Houston Texans (2012)
Cleveland Browns (2013)*
Pittsburgh Steelers (2013)
New Orleans Saints (2013–2014)
Atlanta Falcons (2015–present)

What do our numbers look like for this incoming class?

Do we have space to take in both Bailey brothers because Jacquan looks like the real deal and Joshua might be a boss as well.

I didn't realize he is with the Falcons until Sunday. I looked and he is 35th all time in NFL scoring. Impressive.

New Years Day: the only chance UVA fans have to hear their fight song during the holidays.

Fixed that for you. The band only really plays it at the stadium, otherwise.

He's a phenomenal musician. I'm a huge fan of Blue Highway and he's the reason I started playing dobro. Don't know if you're into bluegrass, but his work on Alan Jackson's "The Bluegrass Album" is amazing.

Three Bells should be on my album list too actually. Rob Ickes, Jerry Douglas, and Mike Auldridge. Three dobro legends recorded it right before Mike passed away.

I had a bad feeling when I saw this thread bumped.

RIP Phreak, thanks for keeping me up with Hokie stuff through your efforts, rules be damned!

If not for WUVT, college would have sucked for me. So many great memories. I did the Americana slot during the school year and Sunday afternoon Soul in the summers. I was really into Alt Country and bluegrass while I was in school but I spent those years absorbing information about indie rock from my fellow WUVTeers. Now that's all I listen to.
