Holy Cow People! I simply cannot belive

Post #122,420 by tuberculosis 10/22/03 6:33:12 PM Reply	Holy Cow People! I simply cannot belive that there is no Ted Nugent to be seen. Stranglehold ranks as one of the truly great long overblown guitar jams and beats Stairway to Heaven by about a full minute of play time besides! Or Alice Cooper. School Daze at least deserves an honorable mention for its annual return to the airwaves. Or J Geils. No Van Halen? The man changed the whole definition of what a guitar is FOR! At the very least Eruption is one of the most amazing demonstrations of electric fretboard agility ever caught on tape. VH 1 changed the sound across the board for awhile. Come to think of it, so did the Cars. Practically every Rolling Stones song you can name. The Ramones - Thats what I like about you! - the very definition of Rock n Roll - 3 chords and a beat that won't quit Spencer Davis - Gimme some lovin. The Police - most of albums 1-4. The Kingsmen - Louie Louie - total classic. The Trogs - Wild Thing.... Man, this is hard. I could go on for days but I'll put my money on stuff they don't play much on the radio anymore. There could be no Led Zep for instance - overplayed and I'd like to never hear anything by them again. Ditto the Doors. In Java, you can't escape the creepy feeling. --James Gosling

(Actually, with my swiss-cheese brian, forgetting something that old is easy!) Alice Cooper: I dunno about "School Days", but "Ballad of Dwight Fry" merits consideration. And you're right, "Stranglehold" also merits consideration...in fact, it should be on the list. jb4 "There are two ways for you to have lower Prescription-drug costs.

Are you talking about Alice Cooper's School's Out, Completely? Louie Louie and Wild Thang both pre-date me. But I can't believe I missed Van Halen! Oh well, might as well Jump!

Ramones would have made that next set as well, along with Sex Pistols probably. While I love Ted...he really doesn't break a whole lot of new ground...except maybe in his choice of subject matter....Wang Dang Sweet Poontang isn't going to earn alot of influence points ;-) Eddie V as an influential guitarist...sure. VH1 as an influential rock album...also sure. Any individual song as a Top10...can't see it. Stanley Jordan was the real master at playing guitar on the fretboard..except he plays jazz. Percussive guitar I would call it. Not at Eddie's blazing speed...but definitely unique. Eddie V is on my list of Top 10 guitarists of all time though (so far).
