Hooverphonic - A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular
No, they aren't playing vacuum cleaners.

I don't know about overrated. A lot of people love them. But I have never been into their music. I can't relate to it at all. And as a live act they were a snore. They had to have all this other stuff going on during their shows to try and disguise the fact they lacked stage presence.
That's absolutely right. Their music was good in concert and their props, lights and effects but the band themselves were stoic and weren't much for watching. I don't think they had the props to hide that, but they had the props expressedly FOR the visual entertainment. They realized people wanted the psychedelic trippy effects as they stood there and played their instruments.
And yes, I did see Pink Floyd so I'm talking from that experience.

Hotel Yorba - The White Stripes
From some live show about 5 years ago.

RAM is a pop gem, but I wouldn't compare his solo career with Beatles career. It can't be done. He's a great solo artist non the less.
I agree. That whole album is very good. Monkberry Moon Delight, Admiral Halsey and Smile Away are my favorites. I also like his first solo album simply named "McCartney", "Band on the Run" and the live Wings album from the mid 1970's.
And this one is one of his better ones too. He does a combination of solo and Beatle songs on it.

These are tracks left as a rover backed out from the rim of a crater on Mars. It's not that impressive till you realize it's on Mars.

That's a quote that holds true in my experience, as mentioned before. Their music is great and the visuals captivating and imaginative, but the band members don't have stage presence. And that's ok. But it's true, they just play their music, which was great.
I've gone to plenty of concerts where the musicians were so absorbed in their music and had NO light show/effects and those concerts were great too, for the music. And that's the bottom line for me. Other effects are just superfluous and not necessary to "support" the music.
