Ted Leo

[aminorthreat55]

Is the motherfucking man. I've said it before and I'll say it again, no one can hold a candle to him these days. He writes some of the best original songs out there, is an amazing lyricist, guitarist, and does some damn fine covers as well (The Jam, Split Enz, Stiff Little Fingers, Kelly Clarkson, etc). I can't wait to see him play at the Washington Monument on the 24th. Holy shit.

[FstFtsVsFences]

What's he sound like?

[Crocodile Logic]

What's he sound like?
like the best singer/song-writer you've heard, and a bag of chips.

[aminorthreat55]

He's just fucking amazing. Mod-punk a la The Jam. It's good, that's all you need to know. Shake The Sheets was probably the best album of 2004 and easily the most underrated, while Tyranny Of Distance (2001) is an independent classic.

"Ballad Of The Sin Eater" live is fucking intense.

[Signals Corrupted]

[aminorthreat55]

I want to be the lucky guy who gets to play tamborine during "Ballad Of The Sin Eater".

[YouMadeTheScene]

i love the man but i still would take kevin devine over him. just a personal choice. something appeals to me more about kevin devine. but i am not taking anything away from ted leo because he is nothing short of stellar

[nobodysmonkey]

Ted Leo is the man. No question.

[The Silencer]

Pete...you and I both know that this thread was long overdue. Thank you for that.

[El_Jeffe]

Hence why I asked. They're from New Zealand so I figured you'd be the guy. Do you have History Never Repeats: The Best Of The Split Enz? That's what I've been dying to hear.

[LogicVsRomance]

i liked him and saw him a few years ago. he wasn't that great live IMO.

if i could compare him to anyone it'd be elvis costello though.

[theacademyis]

i love ted leo so very much. he doesnt get any of the credit he deserves, he goes overlooked.

Such as . . .

high party, rude boys, biomusicology, dial up, parallel, st. john, timorous me, me and mia, the one who got us out, counting down the hours, little dawn, shake the sheets, walking... cant remember the others, but he played for a nice long while

[Signals Corrupted]

[VeloriumCamper]

Ted Leo IS the man.

Shake the Sheets is fuckin incredible.

nahh man. i was dissapointed. thats more of a protest song though haha, and he seemed to be feeling silly i guess.

Go to www.timorousme.org and ask around.

[VeloriumCamper]

will do.

[Signals Corrupted]

if you find that link, please inform me

[aminorthreat55]

All this talk of who is the fucking man I figured I'd bump a thread about the motherfucking man himself.

[afk999]

ted leo is spectacular

[Throwback]

Tyranny of Distance is incredible. Under the Hedge and Timorous Me instantly plaster my face with a shit-eating grin. Shake the Sheets is pretty damn sweet, the only album I'm not fully sold on is Hearts of Oak though it does have its moments.
