God i love this band. im listening to Dig Me Out (the song not the album) on my mp3 player at work and just thought id wax philosophical on my SK love. also One Beat was one of my favorite albums of last year (yeah i know it came out in '02 but i bought it late).

Funny, an appreciation thread, with...no appreciation in it. If you saw them live with Pearl Jam, you would agree with me, this should be a SK "why the suck" thread

I saw them live with Pearl Jam. That's where I fell in love with them. To each his/her own. They are a great band.

I only have heard a few of their songs, but I like them. All Hand on the Bad One is an awesome song.

I also like when they played with PJ too, so nuts to everyone else.

not a fan either

*appreciates SK*

I Sleater-Kinney. One Beat is a fantastic record and Janet Weiss is easily one of the most powerful drummers in rock today.

I love S-K! I saw them with PJ too, and they rocked! They are so cute:) I have All Hands on the bad one, The Hot Rock, and One Beat. I want to get more of their albums. Any suggestions?

i really wish i couldve seen them open for PJ. i was on the leg of the tour that had the Buzzcocks. they were ok but i would have much preferred SK. i love the mexico 03 bootleg where corin tucker sang a few songs with the band. i especially enjoyed the version of hunger strike. her voice brought a whole new dynamic to the song

I love Sleater-Kinney! I wish I could have seen them with PJ, but they announced the third Boston show immediately after I already got tickets for Boston 2... so I couldn't. Bummer.

SK are awesome. I saw them at The Troc right in front of Corin and they really blew me away. New album is supposed to be amazing too.

great band, i was really upset when i got idlewild instead of them as the opener during the 03 show. would've made it even better. looking forward to the new one, one beat is my favorite of theirs

Rock on S-K! as Ed says, one of the great bands of the world.

This thread made me throwon their self-titled album. definatly the hardest to swallow but incredibly raw and emotional.

I had a hard time getting into S-K, but once I did, I was amazed. Saw them on the "All Hands..." tour in a small club, and it is still one of the best shows I have ever seen! I was so mad when I couldn't see them with PJ...they left the tour one week before I saw them!

Sleater-Kinney is the greatest band in the world, no doubt about it.

Source?

i've seen sk a bunch of times in the past few years and i was so excited when i found out they were playing with pj. i thought it might be weird seeing them play in such huge venues, but i think they played better than ever and im glad to see they picked up some new fans who might never have heard them otherwise.

also, their cover of "more than a feeling" is maybe one of the best things ever.

best opening band on the whole riot act tour. one of the best bands out there these days!!!!

my new favorite band. only, the one music store in my town doesn't stock their cds
