You can almost feel The South as Doug Gray laments about "what that woman's been doin' to me." Sends me to Redneck Heaven whenever I hear it. |

Underrate me! Underrate me, godammit! btw -- I don't know how the hell these guys ever slipped by me when thinking of underrated bands, but what about "April Wine?" Just heard them on net radio station RTN this morning. I bought "Nature of the Beast" on LP back in '80, eventually lost/sold it, and then completely forgot about these guys. If you like hard, kick-in-the-balls Rock, give these guys a listen. |

George Harrison could play, but was he better than Mick Taylor? Was he as multi-talented as Brian Jones? McCartney was a very good musician, but he leaned towards music hall, schmaltzy ballads and novelty tunes. Lennon could rock out, but then the drugs and Yoko took over and he started taking himself too seriously. The Stones are just more fucking fun than the Beatles ever were. Quote:

I couldn't agree more that The $tones had it over The Beatles (fuck, Tiny Tim had it over those lightweights). But to say that Mumblin' Mick and Keef were better than Plant and Page is sheer lunacy. Plant had a much better singing voice (right?) and Page was certainly light years ahead of Richards, Taylor, Jones, or Wood when it came to guitar (right?) Two suggested books on the subject: "Stone Alone" by Bill Wyman, and "Hammer of the Gods" by Stephen Davis. (HOTG being a must read). |

I'll take Mumblin Mick and Keef for fun anyday, which is what rock and roll is all about. I was never into the Hammer of the Gods thing. Hell, I learned disco moves because the chicks liked it. Chicks were the most fun. |

BTW, look at the pics inside that album jacket--if you have the original vinyl version--and you'll see where Seattle's "angst-ridden" grunge wimps got the idea for their look. That's about all they got from this fine British band; none of the style, substance, or heaviness, which they couldn't have duplicated if they'd wanted to. |

"I Don't Need No Doctor?!" Ya just gotta love it: "I don't need no doctor, my physician told me so..." lol! Killer tune though, as is the rest of the album. btw -- RTF was recorded at The Fillmore East in NYC, not the Fillmore West in SF.

I bought the first couple of Frampton's solo albums in the mid '70s, they're long gone now but I think he was calling his band "Frampton's Camel." Those had a few worthwhile tunes on them but they sold about nineteen copies each. That was before his mega-hit breakout album whatever the name of that was, then the live version of that. I had pretty much lost interest in the guy by then but I did like a couple of his later tunes nevertheless. I'd have to go back and look over the playlist to remember them though, off the top of my head I can't recall any titles. He's hawking a "teach-yourself-to-play-guitar" course on an infomercial now in case you haven't seen it. I heard he lost literally ALL his money fifteen years ago or so (sixteen million?, sixty million?, some incredible figure) due to some personal misfortune. Anyway, all that aside, he can play, and his voice does have a unique quality to it. You can hear him clearly when he comes in on the chorus of I Don't Need No Doctor. I have that on a CD and every time I play it I chuckle to myself. When he was "just" a relatively anonymous kid member of Marriott's band he couldn't have had any idea how huge he was gonna be in a few years as a solo act. |

"The greatest Rock n' Roll band in the world?!" Maybe. But I think the title of greatest Rock band belongs to Zeppelin. Think about it. And Page was more than a mere "technician." He was a master of the instrument, as were his peers, Beck and Clapton. btw -- I read a Rolling Stone interview with Jagger decades ago. The interviewer asked if he'd still be performing when he turned 40. His answer? "Nah, that's way too old to be doing what I'm doing. I'd look ridiculous onstage." If they keep it up much longer, they'll be "Rolling" alright -- rolling out onto the stage in wheelchairs that is.
