It's clearly an album meant to be listened to from beginning to end, but for those who only have time for a sample or two, here's his cover of In Bloom:
Colbert's relentless strident politics make him pretty unwatchable imo, but I did enjoy his (non-album) duet with Sturgill in tribute to Waffle House:
Colbert is OK. He is a good Catholic, not afraid to tell his guests when they ask him about it, in an industry that is convinced they know better.
And this is a music thread, so here is a song.

"Low Spark" is a great tune for sure. But, this is my favorite Traffic song, and it's only about half as long
Too much talent in one band seemed to be Cream's "problem" as well.

One of the greatest live albums ever made in my humble opinion. This incredible group of musicians was hired by Dylan for his 1965 and 1966 tours.
If you've never seen The Last Waltz movie please do so if you get the chance. Martin Scorsese directed and it captured the Band's last concert on Thanksgiving in 1976 with many special guests. The movie opens up with the last song of the set (Don't Do It from above)...

Agree on The Last Waltz. It's brilliant and amazing the people that came and played with them. You can tell how much other musicians respected them. Love The Band.

Link to the first time I heard Thom Yorke sing. And I think OK Computer was the best album I heard in college, so this might mean a bit too much to me.

The 1990s is probably my favorite music decade, perhaps because I considered it the time of my life. 1960s and 1970s probably better overall, but '90s was my favorite.
This is a mostly forgotten, but still solid tune by Silverchair. They are an Austrailian band, so maybe it explains the "forgotten" part.
