I like The Beach Boys music better than The Beatles. Sloop John B I really liked. A lot of people didn't know that Carl Wilson could have done all the great vocal back ups Brian did just as well as Brian. The song Kokomo proved that much. I also think The Eagles had some great musicians like Leadon, Meisner, Walsh, Schmit, and Felder. Leadon though was amazing in his tallents. I don't think they would have gotten anywhere without him. With The Beatles George never got the credit he deserved as a musician. He and Ringo were the great musicans of that band.
I generally try to stay removed from an artist politics. For example I like Peter, Paul, and Mary, and Kris Kristofferson. But I also listen to Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon. Most underrated rock band? That's an easy one I'd pick The Traveling Wilburys. Harrison's friendships made that band a reality. Orbinson's death ended it way too soon.
The CD that I can't find in order to buy it that I've been seeking for several years? The Bellamy Brothers Featuring Let your love flow. I think it was their first hit. Some of their best work IMO is on that one. I have the vinyl of it though.
I simply can’t learn how to play an instrument. I’ve tried, and tried, and tried.....I just can’t do it. So being self taught in music is pretty impressive.
