That said, there is a 30 year period of non stop album tripe and steadily declining live work to consider. If they had punched out in 1984 after Undercover they might merit mv's ranking. Instead we've been treated to the musical equivalent of Willie Mays stumbling around in the outfield for 30 straight years. Not cool Mick.

Rack!

The Willie Mays comparison is perfect....if Willie had continued to play up to this year.

As I have said before, it is a damn shame they didn't all OD or die in a plane wreck around 1980.

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

With zero musical talent.

In a word, he's "awful."

And a bad person, to boot.

The article is pretty clear that he is not a racist. Care to try again?

Dims,
I have no doubt that you are too stupid to follow along with anything EC has to say. No worries, but to comment on his being a bad person is ridiculous. It's fucking R&R. :doh:

Oh. So when he calls black people niqqers, it means he isn't a racist.

When it was 35 years ago and he explains what he meant and it doesn't involve 'blacks are subhuman pieces of shit' then yes. If you would like to go the same route I would be more than happy to reassess your level of racism.

And he explained why he did it and has not done it again for 35 years. Much like when you are standing in front of a urinal, you are reaching for something that is not there.

Fail again, little guy. I don't have to stand on books to pee in a urinal, either.

The tribal beat is why it is so primal, which is one of the best parts of the song. I also like the way the lyrics make me have to think.

Sympathy for the devil is in my 10 of all time, the rest of their catalog is shit or stolen.

Surprised you did not call bullshit on the Rolling Stones and start pimping that grunge band from SLO, the Vapid Black Cocks.

Appreciating the art in music won't fly in here. Everything has to be be a perfectly polished mathematical formula.

mv throws out the"Who is the best rock band?" troll, and you guys all shit yourselves trying to convince the others that YOUR band is the bomb.

I agree with SS, that there is no one greatest rock band. It has to do more with what you as individuals like. I like a broad spectrum of music, and in particular groups that can get beyond the 3 or 4 chord shit the Stones play and some of the other horrific shit mentioned.

Vocals that can mix in some harmonies, not the screeching bad voice of Mick. Bands that can mix in some keys, some horns, a mandolin (REM), dobro ( Doobies, Fleetwood Mac), unusual instrumentation, ( Geddy Lee bass), expert guitar work, ( Steve Gaines, Allman Bros, Eric Clapton).

For groups, I give my vote to the Doobie Bros who have managed 40 years with the core group and produce some excellent music. Great vocal stacks, and a creative song writing that is beyond compare. Good guys too. I have had several meet and greets with them and a couple of chance encounters with them before the shows, with Pat and Tom on the beach at Lincoln City a couple years ago and at the Oregon Gardens. They truly love what they are doing, having fun making music and making huge jack in the process.

if I never heard the Stones or LZ or PF again that would not bother me as long as my library still has the Doobies, EC, Tom Petty, Skynyrd, Allman Bros among many others. I can also enjoy other styles as well since this morning found Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam on the computer.

The perhaps you can translate some of the Beatles lyrics and tell us what John meant when he wrote those songs while high on acid ??

You do know that most musicians have the melody down long before the lyrics are penned right ??

I said I like EC and can understand why other don't, but the Stones do suck.

Is Jeff Baxter with the Doobies? He was the shit with Steely Dan.

After Fagen and Becker pretty much gave him the axe, Skunk joined the Doobies. I think he was with them a little long then the Dan, actually.

Eventually, he got away from touring/professional musician (not altogether), and became a consultant to the DoD in missile defense systems (I think he held some sort of civilian position with them at some point). Not sure if he still does that, or if he retired from the war machine.

Interesting career Skunk had.

I knew he was from, where else, and had done work with DoD for a while. I'll have to look into it.

Never would have figured duhron for a rock snob.

As for the stones and their Neanderthal 3 chord playing, yeah, it is fairly simple, but so what. Those fuckers had a run of near 20 years where pretty much everything they put out became a pop rock anthem. This is back before pop rock sucked. No one has equaled that in terms of popularity/longevity. LZ might have matched it had JB not gotten himself dead.
