Hehe, look at my signature template - it's from the last song on the same album ;) An essence of Communism, at least like we make it now - free for everyone ;)

Ray and Dave really ROCK.

Indeed, forgot to add Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Best KBD soloes ever, maybe even better then Jon Lord.

MrBill - many people already mentioned Creedence Clearwater Revival = CCR ;)

Black Album and before was all good.

I agree IMO Master of Puppets was their best album, their subsequent albums may have been as good I think if Cliff had not died . In Justice they tried to compensate for the lack of a strong bass guitar sound with the bass drum beats . The black Metallica album was much better than justice imo, unfortunately, to me it seemed like their last earnest attempt . I like listening to their later albums but it's not the same music that made them famous .

...and NO ONE mentioned Frank Zappa?????

philistines, the lot of ya! ;)

Ok, I'm assuming that we're excluding Jazz & Blues, and focusing on great BANDS and not individual performers/songwriters, etc... so, in no particular order:

Frank Zappa - ANY band of his
Jimi Hendrix Experience
The Beatles
Traffic
Led Zeppelin
Steely Dan
The Meters
Parliament - Funkadelic
Sly & The Family Stone
any James Brown band of the 60s - 70s
Mahavishnu Orchestra
King Crimson
Little Feat
Velvet Underground
The New York Dolls
The Ramones
Humble Pie
Be-Bop Deluxe
The Clash
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
The Grateful Dead
The Police
Alice In Chains
Black Sabbath.... ONLY with Ozzy! Dio must be destroyed :)
AC/DC - preferably with Bon Scott
Pink Floyd, provided it stops with "The Wall" ;) Actually imho the Syd Barret floyd is the most interesting music of the lot.
Iggy & The Stooges
ZZ Top... BEFORE the fuzzy guitars came in!
... and many more that my memory won't produce on demand ;)


now.... Bands that Must Die:

Journey
Foreigner
Asia
Boston
Rush (that one word could start a 300-post flamewar ;)
Any leather/hair sporting 80s metal atrocity :)
any leather/hair sporting 80's "new wave" atrocity, with the exceptions on the above list
Abba
Styx
...feel free to add ;)

Supertramp.... what about Supertramp!!!

RedAnt, nice list. Cept I kinda like Styx, and Neil Shone is a great guitar player (although I've never bought a Journey album)
