    The best band to see live is "Type 0 Negative" by far. As far as in the backyard stuff SRV ranks in the highest. Like someone said before" I am a Yankee but my liver is a southerner" is surely true. My liver belongs to Kentucky. Makers Mark is the finest nectur I've ever tasted.

    Timberbeast you are right about Buddy Holly and Not Fade Away. A lot of people did his tune, The Stones, Gratefull Dead, etc. but It sounds just like ole Bo had written it.

    Dating myself . . . I would give my left cojone to hear Hendrix & Joplin live one more time. When she performed "Ball & Chain" at the Atlanta Pop Festival (1969), her voice broke (not enough, or too much, Southern Comfort?). 100,000 people there. And you could have heard a pin drop. As stoned / drunk as that crowd was, not a murmer in that vast assemblage when the mike went silent . . . everyone was hanging on every note. Talk about a true, tangible testament to the power of a vocalist! Chicago or Credence in their primes, but wouldn't pay a body part for admission. Those four defined the era for me.

    For the sake of bringing back an old saying that died long long ago....Lemmy is a god.I find myself craving some Alice Cooper tonight.

    Might want to include an hour of Red Skelton and then maybe John Winters with Robin Williams until they got tired of topping.Turned into a real good thread. Thanks for the responses.Clouder..

    I listen to every part of the music spectrum with the exception of what I call modern urban music. You guys have named some greats. For a big party I'd go with The Marshall Tucker Band, Skynyrd, The Outlaws,Steve Miller, ELO, Poco, Gram Parsons.Now if it was my own little private party I wouldn't mind Emmylou Harris or Linda Ronstadt singing me to sleep. Both those girls have proven themselves from Rock n Roll to Jazz & Big Band.WOODS

    Wow, not much mentioned that I don't like!Red Skelton, oh, what a hoot, 'Clouder!!! Just started seeing a set of tapes from his show advertised on TV, I was a kid, but man did he make me laugh!!!! Still does!! Then you mention Jonathan Winters (funny too!!), and it brings it back to music! Johnny Winter, Albino Texas guitarslinger, man what a guitarist!! And his brother Edgar, of "Free Ride" and "Frankenstein" fame! With Rick Derringer slinging the axe, woo! And someone mentions vintage Chicago, yes indeed, with the original members, particularly the late Terry Kath on guitar (and the "rough" vocals). Gotta go dig through the vinyl, yes indeed!! We got a great show going here!

    The Stones, defenitely. And for the mellower moods perhaps Sting or Randy Crawford... then again, I'm 25 and both a classic rock and contemporary jazz fan....I'm beggining to think i need to see a specialist.
