Bob Seger is kewl! I like Clapton too, but more so the Cream days.

Bob Seger is timeless.  So is Joe Walsh.
 
 I have a fondness for anything on the Grease soundtrack, Meatloaf (complex patterns) and Piano Man Billy Joel (love the man- he writies so many different kinds of songs).

Something in the news today about an ancient Jimi Hendrix sex tape?

I saw that.....but there is some pretty solid evidence that it may not be him.  All based on how many rings the guy was wearing.....lol

I never knew the song as being performed by anyone other than Hendrix.  I know Dylan wrote it, but be darned if I can hear him doing it.

That list is bogus.  The Who's "Who are you?" should be in the top ten.  Yes, the last album by this band was released 30 years ago.  Albums without Keith Moon don't count.  The Who were the third band to ever be on the front page of Time, in 1979.  Here's what the author of the article wrote about them -

  "outpaced, outlasted, outlived and outclassed" all of their rock band contemporaries."

  (http://a135.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/97/l_4f0e3c49d55a9c8585cf7f1425a0dbe6.jpg)

  Sadly, shortly thereafter, Moon was taken away.

^ agree with all of these lists. I think they are just pop hits though. Like the list from 1998. I see no Tool, Sublime, etc. on the list. That is the stuff I was digging in '98, not Usher!

  The Who are styling and yes, Moon was a pure drum revolutionist!

  You got it!  Now more people will be in the know - there's only positive publicity![/DIV]
 Pete Townsend was a genious with song writing and the use of synthesizers long before they were available to the masses in esthetically pleasing packages.  On "We don't get fooled again" he used an organ with a huge sythnesizor system to get the keyboard track:

Yes, them and the Doors. Doors used keyboards instead of bass. Jim Morrison was a drugged up bum though, but that is how I like my rock stars!! lol.
