As guitar greats go I've found that Al Stewart is too often overlooked.

This is the Modern Music Ping List. Our topic is music from the 20th and 21st century, from Ravel and Shostakovich through to the Synth Pioneers and beyond.

Topic suggestions are always welcome, and pings to music-related threads are appreciated.

Try playing ‘Nostradamus’ .... yikes, that thing makes ‘Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald’ look like a two minute Ramones tune.
Wonderful voice, solid chops.

Stewart also writes some songs with some serious historical grounding. Closely examine the lyrics to Roads to Moscow some time. On the Border I always took as a song about the time of the Spanish Civil War.
