Yeah, he wasn't really a hell-raiser or trash-the-hotel kind of guy. He was pretty low-key and always about the music. A true musician. Ron Wood fits in perfectly, and is a heckuva guitar player, but I think Mick Taylor is the finest guitarist the Stones have ever had.

I saw Marley at the Roxy (on the Sunset Strip in L.A.) . in '78, and it was great. ....although I was probably a couple years too young to fully appreciate it. No one has ever come close to him in the reggae genre .....not even close.

How could you have a top-100 list and not mention Frankie Yankovic?

In fact, they should have phrased the question..... "Other than "Satisfaction", what's the greatest Rock and Roll song?"Kind of like asking "Other than Sgt. Peppers, what's the greatest Rock Album?"

I saw Taylor only once (in the early 80's), when he was playing with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers. ....They were the opening act for someone, but I forgot who. Always stayed within himself as a player.....nothing flashy, just great blues. ... and got an amazing tone outta that Les Paul).

When I set my mp3's playing randomly, I can hear Count Basie, The Rolling Stones, Anonymous 4, Pink Floyd, Beethoven, Ella Fitzgerald, The Cars, and the The Sons of the Pioneers in succession. Having ripped every disk I have (vinyl and CD), I just love having all this stuff right here in one place where I can just have my player run for days on end without repeating a turn. Isn't technology wonderful? Sure is. I've spent most of the past year turning my massive record collection into MP3s. I take them on the road with me with my MP3 player but mostly I just listen to them at random on the computer. I have nearly 15,000 tracks and I am discovering and re-discovering music from classical to blues to vintage rock. It's a lot of fun. I've even grabbed some of those 99 cent songs off the web.
BTW, I have the Symphonic Pink Floyd. That's been out for some years now. Good stuff.

Kind of like asking "Other than Sgt. Peppers, what's the greatest Rock Album?"Yep. No question
Though the Parlophone version of "Revolver" is my favorite Beatles album.
Go figure.

Ping to the quarterly album thread.
To: eddie willers
I'm talking Rock & Roll....Summertime...Cruising Cadillac Convertible . . . Oh, I see. In that case, you'd have to add tunes like "Boys of Summer," "Hollywood Nights," and "Sultans of Swing" to your list. LOL.

The problem with that album is that it sounds like it was recorded at the bottom of a pond - terrible sound quality.
IMHO - this album showed that the boys had matured to be among the greats...
To: AmishDude
For the record, Boston's self-titled album is the best ever. Hmmm -- now there's one that has been overlooked on this thread. I remember hearing somewhere that "More Than A Feeling" is the most often-requested song in the history of FM radio in the U.S.

Boston's Tom Schultz apparently lost any chance of securing another record contract when he spent five years perfecting the sound of Boston's first album. Engineering and music don't mix, I guess (Schultz was an MIT student at the time, if I recall).

Boston's album is the greatest concentration of recognizable songs on a single album. I have to disagree with that one -- I believe The Eagles Greatest Hits would fit that bill.

Boston's Tom Schultz apparently lost any chance of securing another record contract when he spent five years perfecting the sound of Boston's first album.It still paid off in spades. This was '76 mind you - a couple of years earlier, folks were rocking to Grand Funk albums.
The unique production value of that album changed the whole equation - no rock album sounded like that prior to that time (not to mention it was a debut release).
