Alex: You should see if anyone has a decent copy of creep from the last tour: fantastic.

RE: one song | from Alex D.Dec 21 2003 - 17:28

The song that started it all for me or rather, moved me to realize how brilliant Idaho is, is "Creep" from "The palms EP". I can still listen to it as well as most other Idaho tracks over and over again. I never tire of listening to Idaho. :)

RE: one song | from JR OlssonDec 21 2003 - 14:57

hey dean!

no man, i have actually never even heard one single hayden song i think. but i guess i will when i get my dirty little hands on that record.

RE: one song | from DeanDec 18 2003 - 08:10

Did you get the last Hayden LP Roger? Has a couple of clunkers on it but a few really beautiful songs. Well worth a listen.

RE: one song | from JR OlssonDec 18 2003 - 00:26

no i haven't. but i think i know a guy here in stockholm that can fix me the cd. i need to get it.

RE: one song | from gibbsDec 17 2003 - 16:02

JR
have you heard the comp before? its amazing, there are a couple of really great red house painter, low, and hayden songs on it.

RE: one song | from JR OlssonDec 16 2003 - 14:55

i was thinking about shanti today on my way to work. i have get my hands on that record.

RE: one song | from gibbsDec 16 2003 - 14:49

as far as "one song" is concerned, my first idaho songs were from the shanti project comp album and they were enough for me to eventually proclaim idaho as my favorite band, so i suppose I would choose one of them.

RE: one song | from ronDec 15 2003 - 05:22

the first two IDAHO songs i ever heard were "to be the one" and "get to the bottom." the rest, as they say, is history.

RE: one song | from cDec 10 2003 - 05:18

i like "happy times" alot, because it's so jarring. it's definitely dirgy and NOT pretty, which is intriguing.

RE: one song | from RyanDec 09 2003 - 23:44

I think "Skyscrape" is the most representative song. It could almost be on any of the albums, old or new.

RE: one song | from Alex NiedtDec 09 2003 - 21:11

Seth, I know exactly how you feel. Very annoying isn't it? Aj, you're right. Oops.

RE: one song | from AndrewDec 09 2003 - 17:55

how about ok then kiss some bums?

RE: one song | from ajDec 09 2003 - 17:51

alex,
should we assume that ok then is a he?
silly, silly people these days...
cheers!

RE: one song | from Seth HowardDec 09 2003 - 17:21

It seems to me that the songs I write that I like the least are the ones other people tend to like most. Ugh.



RE: one song | from stemsDec 09 2003 - 16:54

jeff-- very cool that you show up around here. I just wanna say that I try hard to glean the diamonds from the shite when it comes to music. SO many times I have heard about such and such a band or read a glowing review only to find the music generic at best, horrible more likely.

I've been aware of Idaho for a few years but you were always on the "gotta find out what they sound like" list. I live in Nowheresville, Oklahoma so it's not like there's tons of access to good or hip music.

Anyways, I just want to thank you for being among the few who DON'T suck or don't put out one cool record then go on to suck immediately after that. You obviously got soul and work hard crafting songs. We appreciate you for it.

And if that's bum-kissy, so be it.

RE: one song | from AndrewDec 09 2003 - 16:50

So I suppose g.n. and J.R. are bum kissers too, what with those positive, pro-Idaho posts and all. Gosh, I hope I'm not next.

RE: one song | from Alex NiedtDec 09 2003 - 16:45

Perhaps he read it out of context. Either way: Screw you, ok then.

RE: one song | from Jean Dec 09 2003 - 16:41

Maybe you could explain how telling Jeff he doesn't like one of his songs makes Alex a blatant bum kisser. I like Happy Times. Uh-oh, now I'm a blatant bum kisser. I guess either way, Ok Then thinks we're all blatant bum kissers. My life in ruined.

RE: one song | from ok thenDec 09 2003 - 15:36

alex: blatant bum kisser.

RE: one song | from Alex NiedtDec 09 2003 - 15:30

Jeff, I agree with you about "Happy Times" for the same reasons you mention. But alas, it's still better than almost everything by any other band. : )

RE: one song | from JR OlssonDec 09 2003 - 14:52

you must be kidding. i love alta dena! one of my absolute fav tracks on hearts of palm.

RE: one song | from adamDec 09 2003 - 14:43

How 'bout a snippet/preview? Throw us a frickin' bone...!

RE: one song | from jeffDec 09 2003 - 13:47

alta dena...is the 1st one thtat comes to mind. when dan 1st came up with the guitar part we would play around with the idea at rehearsals......it was great then...i dont know what happend..its mostly just the way it sounds , the plodding tempo and rigid drums...come to think of it ...happy times is sort of annoying to me..i know it has its positive aspects ...its just sort of sludgey and deppressing to me. i really want you all to hear the new one damn it!

RE: one song | from adamDec 09 2003 - 12:36

Hey Jeff, any songs you can't stand now? I find some old songs (of mine) really uncomfortable to play, let alone listen to.

RE: one song | from g.n.Dec 09 2003 - 09:04

"on the shore" and "this cloud we're on" are the songs I usually put on to introduce IDAHO to my friends--sadly, it's not so much because they wanted to know who IDAHO was, but because a lot of my other (non-IDAHO) CDs suck now.

RE: one song | from jeffDec 09 2003 - 07:37

for some reason when someone asks me what my band sounds like i play them "on the shore". i agree with "to be the one" as a good introduction.

RE: one song | from cDec 09 2003 - 05:47

without a doubt, "get you back"

RE: one song | from Seth HowardDec 08 2003 - 23:46

I agree with you, Andrew. It's not that I think "To Be The One" is the most representative of Idaho's sound. In fact, I think it's probably the closest to a shiny pop song Jeff has written. Still, all the elements are there, and they're presented in a way that a new listener would be more likely to be able to relate to.

RE: one song | from AndrewDec 08 2003 - 22:56

If you think it's stupid, then don't post. I'll add that "To Be the One" would probably be a good introduction.

RE: one song | from nopeDec 08 2003 - 21:37

stupid topic, really stupid.

RE: one song | from Alex NiedtDec 08 2003 - 20:19

I guess it kind of depends on what you want the new listener to get out of it. Personally, I'd choose from either "Sweep", "Levitate", or "Stare at the Sky."

RE: one song | from meDec 08 2003 - 19:01

sorry. but impossible

RE: one song | from stupidDec 08 2003 - 16:38

!@#$&*&%%!

just one song | from ronDec 08 2003 - 16:16

if you blokes had to pick just one IDAHO song to sort of... represent them to a new listener, which song would you pick? (i know, i know, this is an impossible question, but answer anyways... and explain why you picked the song you did).
