If rap/hip-hop didn't kill rock, it certainly hurt it.
Rock hurt itself by becoming so effing boring and predictable.

I never listened to Big Star until last year. Better late than never. Interesting band, or ‘collection of players’ I should say. Great songs.

After seeing a very fine looking woman walking around where I work, I tend to find myself singing:
I got the lumps in my throat
When I saw her coming down the aisle
I gets the wiggles in my knees
When she looked at me and sweetly smiled
By the Stones, of course, not Chuck. I first heard it from the Stones, I later heard it from Chuck, the Stones did it best.
It sticks in my head.

My observation is to avoid the radio ...man what a load of shit is playing these day's ........dozens of stations and not one decent song.......... just try to rediscover some oldies like Fleetwood Mac with the great guitar players Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan
Enjoy while you can .................................

I did not know Toy Caldwell of MTB was wounded in Vietnam took a bullet and later returned to active duty(RIP) - I was fooling around with Can,t You See on guitar and never realized how much finger picking style and thumb he played with - Nice vocals to and he was not the main singer in the band.[/quote
Yes, truly the talent in that band.

The best bands I have seen in a long time are behind Lucinda Williams, and Robert Plant. Forget about the phenomenal front person in both acts for a moment - but those two bands have consistently been made up or topnotch , seasoned players who know what is what. They know their history, they know less-is-more.

I was gonna suggest Peter and Danny for today but you beat me to it Nicos.
Spot on.
I know a lot of people here like their guitar double acts (!) but seriously, Peter Green and Danny Kirwan were and remain exceptional. I can recommend pretty much anything by Peter and Danny from August 1968 to when Peter left and Danny continued writing and playing superbly until his personal problems got the best of him and he was dismissed from the Mac.
If anyone needs a one stop shop to demonstrate the powers of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac may I recommend the 3 volume Boston Tea Party set.
I will get my head kicked in tonight by many here but I think it could possibly be the best live rock album of it's time and there's some pretty steep competition for that title. The live versions of Rattlesnake Shake, Jumping At Shadows, Stranger Blues, Oh Well, Green Manalishi, World In Harmony, If You Let Me Love You are outstanding along with several other performances from the 3 nights. And yet, they are almost forgotten as a band.
Every bit as good as The Stones, The Beatles, The Who etc...
