Before each of their reviews was a header titled RIYL: “Recommended If You Like.” Always loved that. In my opinion, this is our official RIYL list: REM, Thermals, Guided By Voices, Soul Asylum, Weezer, Menzingers, The Hold Steady, Cheap Trick, Tom Petty, Gaslight Anthem, Green Day, Butch Walker. (Brian Charles thinks I sound like Michael Penn.) And here’s a bunch of artists that, to my ears, we sound nothing like, but have influenced our efforts: Catherine Wheel, Beatles/Wings, Cars, Boston, Springsteen (particularly Born to Run through the River), Queen, Stereophonics, Elvis Costello, Replacements, Simon & Garfunkel, ABBA, Kiss, Hole, U2, 3EB, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Kansas, Matthew Sweet, and Pearl Jam. I’m also obsessed with Neal Schon and the song “Walk Away Renee.” — Tim https://www.theflashpotmoments.com/credits-collaborators daily 0.75 2025-12-31 https://www.theflashpotmoments.com/images-1 daily 0.75 2020-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e80e3fef524e90512dc2c25/6e695593-ae01-4ba2-b326-e840fb910c38/tempImagehCJ0Qu.png Images Brian Charles, Chloe Beth Smith, Pat Davey, Me, Tim Roe, Jeremy Stacey.
