If he was still alive, i doubt Dave Grohl would have ever been in the Muppets!

Fortunately for me i was old enough to see a few of those bands over here and the best gig i ever saw was screaming trees live at newcastle riverside, my ears nearly burst and i put my raging tinnitus down to a lot of those gigs.

I saw Pearl Jam a few years ago at Reading - my first gig for a while. Almost fell asleep.

I was never the biggest Screaming Trees fan but I love Mark Lanegan. The tracks he recorded with Queens of the Stone Age were by far their best stuff.

Qotsa, another great band, the live version of "misfit love" on the henry rollins show is amazing.

QOTSA are pretty great but they've kind of fallen off the pace with their recent albums.
I'll always prefer Kyuss. I do love me some stoner rock!

Josh homme actually toured with the trees the year i saw them live, 96 i think, he may have just left kyuss.

Mark lanegan "field songs" is a great album, also "bubblegum" is a good compilation of his work.

I think the only solo album of his I've heard is The Winding Sheet and I wasn't that impressed. I'll have a listen to those two though.
The one song of his I loved was a cover of Cripple Creek for some compilation album. That was fantastic. I think I'll download it just now...
