But since my parents thought the same of Grand Funk Railroad, Deep Purple, and T Rex, the world is still rockin and rollin along as it should.😀
"Tommy the cat" by Primus.
"Jambi" by Tool
"Mountain song" by Janes Addiction.
"Mercy Seat" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
But "Like a Rolling Stone" is a fine tune. Bob Dylan definately deserves the no.1 spot, by the sheer weight and influence of his work.
But musical taste is pretty whimsical , so its probaly not worth too much time in thinking about...

Y'know the music that most "displeased " me when I first listened to it, eventually became my favourite.
But by no means would I consider myself "young". I lost track about 15 years ago.🙂
Geez, I cant remember the last time I felt pain in my eyelashes-sounds painful...quick!!-touch wood🙂

Originally posted by PinkFloydcobain's playing many have been overrated, but still, the list isn't totally absurd, they still included a number of old blues players, as far as Im aware they had the likes of bb king and robert johnson at the top. Cobain had to be included as to not make the list totally alien to the taste of younger readers.
Quite true. Their "greatest" instrumentalists lists I've seen leave much to be desired. And Cobain? Puh--leeeze. There were better guitarists than him in his own band. And now that you mention it, do you remember who they picked as the best drummer of all time? If it wasn't Moon, then I remember why I lost respect for RS.
as for drummer, I haven't seen that list, but I'd say ginger baker should be at the top.

Originally posted by sonhouseyes, Im not much of a blues listener, I've heard some stuff from the likes of robert johnson, muddy waters, and sonny boy williamson, but thats it. I encountered a video of rory playing terraplane blues, almost by accident, and that was the only thing I've heard from her.
Is Terraplane the only piece of Rory's you have heard? She has a bunch of CD's out and that is just one example of her playing. Some of it is really incredible. So is Martin Simpson. Check him out also if you want to hear some great guitar. One of the best is his wife and other musicians on a CD called Angel Band. Awesome playing and singing.

Originally posted by badmoonOh we can dig it. Have you heard Isaac Hayes' "Hot Buttered Soul"? It contains one of the funkiest soul songs ever written, "Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic". Also a brilliant rendition of Burt Bacharach's "Walk on By".
They say that Shaft was a bad mother...shut your mouth.,,
