Critical Response to DA post

Terry Taylor is amazing.
I love his stuff.
But lets see.....Daniel Amos is not my favorite.
I love the song "Shotgun Angel" which is not typical of DA. It is very country.
Because I do not still live in the 80's like Ski does, some songs like "Home Permanent" aren't as appealing to me as they once were. It is those darn synthesizers. They drive me a little bonkers. As a person who loved (and probably still loves) REAL punk, I beg to differ with the assessment that "Mall" is punk. Alternative, perhaps. NOT punk!! Oh, and no matter how much I love Terry, he will never be the B-52's. It just ain't happening.....

I really do like If You Want To from the album Kalhoun. It is much less DA sounding. I much prefer Swirling Eddies to DA because they are so much lighter in musical feel. I would listen to Terry's solo stuff any day of the year. He is reflective, tongue in cheek, melancholy, and sweet all wrapped into one. I love what he does with a lyric. For me, my music needs to move me. No matter what genre, if it makes me laugh, cry, or think, I love it.And don't get me started on the Dogs....take some of my favorite singers and wrap them into one, and WOW!!!
