How can you forget putting Peter Green on your list!?

Green just didn't have the impact that the others did. He's largely regarded only for his small body of work with John Mayall and Fleetwood Mac before LSD-induced psychosis sidelined his career. And while he continued to perform and release new music up until his death in 2020, his legacy would always be that small handful of recorded work he did in the late 1960s.

You know nothing about Peter Green.

Your recap from “Wiki” kind of proves it.

A Tribute to Peter Green and his music was held in 2020 - 40 Years after his minor impact - It was attended by:

Billy Gibbons(ZZ Top)David Gilmour(Pink Floyd)Jonny Lang, Andy Fairweather Low, John Mayall, Christine McVie, Zak Starkey, Steven Tyler(Aerosmith),Bill Wyman(Rolling Stones) Noel Gallagher(Oasis),Pete Townshend(The Who), Neil Finn, Kirk Hammett(Metallica) and more.

Green’s song Black Magic Woman, launched Santana. Carlos Santana invited Green to play it with him at Santana’s RR HOF induction.

Eric Clapton covers 2 Peter Green songs on one of his last albums.

Do better next time.
