LSD gives you the stupidest band names ever.

Their sound was unlike any other before. It hit me like a bomb.
Simple three chord blues numbers can be compelling.
Note: I was not into drugs.

Wow! Do I feel old “Cheap Thrills” was a great album. “Piece of my heart” was a killer

They were a bit sloppy, but it really didn’t detract from the songs, because they had enough soul to make up for it :)

Beg to differ. The Grateful Dead was one of the coolest names ever for a band of that era.

Ditto, Janis was better with them than with technically better musicians. There was more ‘room’ for her to use.

Yeah, she shone when the band was trying to keep up with her, rather than when she was trying to keep up with the band.
To: mrsmith
Should that be shined? Shone, shined, whatever!
To: Boogieman
Whichever (whatever, however?) -you put it well.
