Anybody else out there like NRBQ? I only have a couple of CD's but it is good stuff. Nothing heavy nothing serious just nice poppy rock and roll.
I have less and less patience for rock that takes itself serious. So much of indie rock is so heavy and pretentiously important I cannot stand it.
Just play and let us dance and hum along.
By the way Jonathan Richman is also very good. Yes I am dating myself : 70's and 80's that's me.

DUDE!
NRBQ is perhaps my favorite American rock 'n' roll band. I discovered them 16 years ago as a senior in high school. They are awesome, though I haven't followed their recent stuff since Al Anderson left the group and Johnny Spampinato (bass player Joey's brother) took his place.
They rarely (if ever) show up on TV. Nobody plays their music on the radio, and that's a shame.
Their album "Kick Me Hard" is an ecletic album full of semi-serious, all fun, rock 'n' roll. Their live albums are a blast. I have their album they did with Carl Perkins in 1969 (ON VINYL!) and it rocks hard!
I'm glad to find another NRBQ fan in cyberspace. I was beginning to think I was the only one.
Cool. Now I guess I have to go out and buy more NRBQ. I love that song Riding in My Car. NRBQ was a favorite of Paul Westerberg of the Replacements, if I recll.
Anyway, I am always open to donations of burnded Cds of music I do not have. :>
Look me up in the Annual.
FatherDMJ, I must say you have good taste in music. We ought to start a rock and Roll Lutheran pastor group. Rast can be the mascot.
As always, I will follow your lead. I just gave a copy of your "Muckshins" CD to a friend, who loves it.
Btw, thanks for starting us up again on Portals of Prayer. But, after April ended, it was a real downer.
Ah Peter, Peter,
Have I been so long time with you and yet hast thou not known me?
Listen and thou shalt live.
Never heard of them. So I looked at the local library's online catalog. Why is the only CD available placed in the Juvenile CD collection? Hmmm.
