AC/DC

LOL, Ginger could be quite the crank. Well at least that time Ginger didn’t beat the interviewer with a stick.

[heavy metal]

let there be rock...

[A Navy Vet]

"I loved Goats Head Soup. Steel Wheels was good, Tatoo You I think."

I believe "Let It Bleed" was their best album. "Sticky Fingers" after that. Their early Brian Jones originals on "Out of Our Heads" and "Aftermath" were what I was listening to other than the Beatles' pop.

[dfwgator]

Best use of bagpipes, ever.

Your Frank Zappa video....

Amazing and articulately stated.

He made it look so easy.

[frank ballenger]

Right. That documentary interview had the questioner literally have his nose broken by the drummer. Sick.

[dfwgator]

I think Elon Musk took some lessons from it.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Blaine played for one of my favs, Johnny Rivers too.

[week 71]

Grateful Dead

[dennisw]

Stones over Beetles six ways from Sunday

[dfwgator]

Blaine and The Wrecking Crew played on MacArthur Park. Regardless of what you may think of the song as a whole, that middle instrumental part of the song kicked.

[FlatulusMaximus]

Agreed!

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’m a fan of Richard Harris. Singer and actor.

[FLNittany]

Don’t forget Loan Me A Dime w/ Boz at Muscle Shoals.

[FreeReign]

Deep Purple. Gillan thru Coverdale

They were better musicians and performers than the five listed in the article.

[John S Mosby]

Not even remotely. Maybe when first they did re-recording of some hits from Chuck Berry but not much after. They were a pop band, catchy tunes and chart climbing.

Jon Lord was the greatest rock keyboardist.

[ClaytonForester]

Yes.

[BillyBonebrake]

Who doesn’t love the Shaggs!

But regarding the list I’d have put NRBQ on top and swapped Queen with the Who.
