I don't see why Cheap Trick's "All Shook Up" gets so much flack. It's a great album!

Let's see here... I'm a (currently) struggling musician who believes wholeheartedly that he will make a decent album sometime soon. I have enough material to release quite a few albums, but I'm going for 'A' game. I want to make the best record I can possibly make, so I've gotta be as awesome as possible. I'm not as arrogant as that might sound, but sometimes I have to say things like that to motivate myself. I really do have a lot of shit kicking around though! I would love to make a record like Matthew Sweet's "Living Things" or "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" by Neil Young... or maybe a happy medium. Those two records are real benchmarks for me in terms of writing. I mean, who WOULDN'T want to make an album as good as ANYTHING Neil has done? My hobbies include video games, reading, and drawing comic strips/caricatures... badly. Other than that; I think it'd be a trip to be a comedian. I think every musician wants to be a comedian, though.
