I said they were excellent musicians. I see you've cleverly changed your statement to only include rock music. I'll give them credit for being around a long time, and having a couple of hits. There really isn't anything "bad ass" about them. You did read that I said they were excellent musicians, right? I don't know…

I respect Rush as excellent musicians, but their nerdy lead singer has a nerdy voice, and sings nerdy lyrics. You don't know music if you don't know Rush? What if you listen to Jazz or Classical music? Not to mention, there are better bass players, better drummers, better guitarists, and positively better singers and…

I had a crush on Mannix's secretary when I was 5 or 6 years old….

Zulu as Kono

One of my friends saw Rush on 3 separate occasions and fell asleep at each concert. Now that's entertainment. Did that first poster say he saw Rush at a State Fair? Were they warming up for the Beach Boys? Or Three Dog Night?

prism of ownage? I need one now!

nothing but coal….again. damn santa and his cursed list

@ Lobsters 1….My dad was already laughing at me, if I would have pulled that James Dean crap, he would have laughed even harder. Plus, he was right: That Clash song sounded like disco. Damn Clash! The Dead Kennedys never let me down like that!

I still get teary eyed when I hear Old Shep

There really are no bad songs on those middle period Stones records. You Got To Move? What's wrong with covering a Fred McDowell song? Is it as good as Fred McDowell? No. But the royalties from the song allowed Fred McDowell to be buried in a shiny gold tuxedo. With his electric guitar. Let's face it, if the Stones…

I'll never forget when my dad mocked my brother and I when we got Combat Rock, and Overpowered by Funk came on. "I thought this was a punk band….sounds like disco to me!!!". We just hung our heads….didn't even try to make an excuse for one of our favorite bands. I have to admit, I was never as big a fan of the Clash…

I've read both Zoot Horn Rollo's book and Drumbo's book. Zoot was in an acid cult before he was in the Magic Band. Drumbo was "rescued" from the Magic Band by family and friends. He still came back again and again. It's hard to be on anybody's side here. Everybody with a backbone left the Magic Band. I lost some…

awwwww man!
easily one of my favorites. I just finished reading John French's book Behind The Eyes of Magic. A great book on Beefheart. Guess I'll be listening to all of his records today

I love "Call Me Animal" by the MC5. Not sure what record it's on.

I listened to that on my Thanksgiving road trip. He should have done more stuff like that (although all of his stuff is great in my opinion). After that I listened to Electric Mud. Heavy Funk!

Living in Chicago, I've seen Honeyboy Edwards a bunch of times. He's great with a band or without. The man is definitely one of the last of his kind. The last time I saw him, he played with Homesick James, Robert Lockwood, and Henry Townsend….all of them legends. Honeyboy is the only one left. That particular night,…

I'm a huge fan of Hasil Adkins, but the one time I saw him, he was so drunk he couldn't tune his guitar. He was great for the first song until his guitar went out of tune. He somehow clocked somebody in the head with it. It was all downhill from there. I tried to stay until he got his shit together, but ended up…

I'm also a fan of Zombie Birdhouse. Party has it's moments, too…cool to hear Iggy with a horn section.

I like the Sunshine Superman album, the Hurdy Gurdy Man album, and the Mellow Yellow album. Plus, he sings on Alice Cooper's song Billion Dollar Babies.

It's still not the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame until Link Wray gets in.
