It seems there were alot of British bands that started playing "blues" and then migrated to pop/rock. Jethro Tull and Led Zeppelin are two that come to mind. I like early Fleetwood Mac, but I also like the later incarnation. Same goes for Led Zeppelin. Jethro Tull's first album, the bluesy, jazzy, "This Was", was excellent. Their second was good, third, not bad and fourth, "Aqualung" is overated in my opinion.Quote:

another that gets me running for the MUTE button is ..The Trashmen - "Surfin' Bird" , although they did a credible version of "Malaguena".

Just to wake you up: Michael Jackson :barf::barf::barf:!!!
This guy (gay?) appeared to be the archetypical US neurotic. Massively overrated and praised primarily for his huge output that was adressed redily for the mainstream masses, hence his sales numbers. Never cried any tears as he died about 10 years ago - in contrary to John Lennon, for instance.
Best regards!
OK Kay, we have another disagreement here. :eek:Quote:

There are only 1 or 2 of his (and I can't name them right now) that I can stand .. and don't even mention his time with the jackson 5.
(but I damned near cried when Alvin Lee died :( )
Objection! There's not a single one that I can stand!Quote:

Which Clapton ?? Early years were great. 461 Ocean Blvd. is still a fave around here, but after "tears in heaven" he pillowed out and now I just don't bother with him. fire is gone.Quote:

AL said once that he did not want to be a "rock star" , just wanted to play. Basic, but powerful. ;)
That's exactly how it should be done, isn't it?
Best regards!
<Edit> To EC: Yes, his work with John Mayall, Cream, Derek & the Dominos (fabulous double live album!), Blind Faith, and his early solo works were great. The decay commenced with 461, imho.
Best regards!
Another one: ASIA :barf:!!
Four superb musicians that squandered their talents and skills to blatant mainstram and commercialism. What a waste! What's the thrill in Heat of the Moment, for instance? This is just lukewarm!!
Best regards!

Read a story once about AL & TYA... they put out a 7 incher that was 45 on one side, same song, but at 33 on the other.Quote:

I'd put Peter Green on at least JP's level or ...Quote:
