Good, I’ll agree. But Top Ten material? I’m guessing that if you like Little Feat you’ve gotta love The Grateful Dead.

Saw both bands > a dozen times.

After Terrapin Station I came to hate the Dead. Loved Feat, but I think Lowell George is arguably the worst thing that ever happened to the Dead. Shakedown Street and Go to Heaven are just brutally awful. [Yes, I know Lowell did not produce the latter.]

One of my roommates in grad school who was a huge Deadhead and Feat fan was actually working at the desk of the Marriott in Arlington, VA at a summer job on the day when Lowell George died. It was my brother's 26th birthday.

Feat is a top ten for their influences if nothing else. I like the Doors as much as anybody (saw them once before Morrison died at the Philadelphia Spectrum, 1970). Liked them so much I even bought the two post Morrison albums and the two albums Krieger and Densmoore did with Butts Band. But I don't think anybody can argue the Doors were musically influential. All the music they're famous for was top 40's stuff, and all the music Morrison actually liked was very old time Blues covers. Doors can't be top ten, especially if Little Feat aren't.

In order(I've seen mosty of them live eat least once):

My wife and I just saw The Who a few years ago. We actually went to see Robert Plant, who was the support act. Did I mention that Zeppelin is the greatest rock band of all time? Can't be said often enough. The Who still rocked quite well for people just barely older than us, I have to admit.
