I have a 12" single of Sammy Hagar covering "(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay" with Brad Delp, Sib Hashian and Barry Goodreau of Boston contributing backup vocals and credited as "The Boss-Tones."

Not "records" but I have several boots of Neil Young, Built to Spill, Wilco and the Beatles. Computers + rare tracks = geeky.

i was so embarrassed my extensive TMBG collection that i dumped it 5 years ago. i consider that a mistake... but i had every EP and LP up to apollo 17.

anyway, how about "music on a long thin wire". oh, i guess that is nerdy rather than geeky.

geeky.. aw, i have a mathew sweet album (in reverse) from like 1999. thats pretty geeky.

Def Leppard "Pyromania" on vinyl. I saw it at Goodwill for $0.50 and couldn't help myself.

That and the Weird Al (with the Nevermind cover) on cassette. :roll:

i can't say i have ever really dug anything they did with a real band... but it cant hurt to look for some mp3s.

i was one of those assholes that had their teen sensibilities upset when they appeared with a band during.. the uh.. flood tour? man, i was a tmbg GEEK. never forgave them. move on george.. move on... ok.. talked myself out of it.

btw the movie uh.. i foget the name.. gigantic. its cool.

yea, but do you have the EPs? i think all that stuff eventually got released on some CD... but owning the They'll Need a Crane 12" EP is pretty damned geeeeeky.
