The ultimate beginner’s guide to Lee Ranaldo
 

and where are the other cool tracks from him :)

thanks.

Their comparison of Lee to George Harrison is apt if you ask me, since not only did he take the spotlight far less than Thurston or Kim but he tended to play more "lead" types of parts than Thurston, much like George played more leads than John Lennon...

GOD that was annoying - the site crashed at least six times (because there were six songs? ;)) before I could finish reading the damn piece. Hard to conceive a Lee top six, top five or even top three without "Hey Joni" in it. Anyway, everything's lists now instead of insightful critiques... What I didn't know and found crazy/interesting is that From Here To Infinity "reached number 20 on the British Indie charts and spent six weeks there". That is NUTS and I love it! :cool::D

And, like Lee, George also nearly quit due to not getting enough songs on the albums.

I didn't know that either (about Lee, not Harrison).

This picture from the TV Tropes page on the band is a fitting description of Lee's place in the band at times:
