Couldn't agree with you more. Well, my favourite is SPECTRAL MORNINGS. 
IMO, progressive rock on it's best. 
On GTR however, I think Steve Howe did a far better job than Hackett.

But what Hendrix did with that scale and three fingers (also using his

of what he played was very simple yet what he did with those simple chord
progressions exemplified his style.  It wasn't how many notes he played but
what he did with them.  If Hendrix is overrated why has he influenced so

Al Dimeola is an interesting example.  He has such a distinctive style.  I
consider "Dark Eyed Tango" to be one of the best guitar showcase tunes ever
done.  There are a lot of guitarist that play "Tumeni Notes" (to borrow
a Steve Morse song title).  Satriani, Morse, Vai have all been criticized
for that technique.  Marc Bonilla is the most recent incarnation.  His 
"EE Ticket" album shows off some outstanding technique yet there are a
couple of tunes where his playing becomes very expressive as well.

I agree about the "bonus" songs - for the most part they are rather things
that I have to put up with in order to have Queen on CD.
What are the "errors" that you're referring to?
I guess I haven't read any of the lyrics - having already read them a hundred

They have FIVE studioalbums, the latest was released in Europe around Xmas, 
a Best of album named Headlines & Deadlines of A-ha (or something like 
that). 2 or 3 tracks new tracks, one was Move to Memphis, a really great 
song with a rock style in it. You should check out this album, but I don't 
think it's released in the States. 
A-ha in USA is history, but in Europe (and esp. South- America) they still 
sell a lot of records.
I agree with you that A-ha has developed a more serious style of music. East 
of the sun, west ... is more like  symphonic/soft prog. rock.

Nowadays A-ha is recording their new album, release fall -92 (Me think's)

Eddie was previously in 2 local San Diego bands (where he is from) called
Bad Radio and The Butts.

He was introduced to the rest of the band by former Red Hot Chili Peppers
drummer Jack Irons (whose new band 11 is opening for Pearl Jam on their 
current club tour) as " a guy who can sing well. well, I think he can if
you can get him out of the water long enough" (Eddie is an avid surfer).

Hope this helps....

The Sound broke up in '89 following the release of _Thunder Up_.
Adrian Borland released a solo LP in '90 (_Alexandria_, on the

in the can.  I can provide a reasonably complete discography if

Yeah you're right Guns and Roses sucks. Debbie Gibson, Phil Collins, Amy Grant
and CC Music Factory are the coolest bands out there today. I agree Sweet Child
of Mine was the worst song ever written. God and I really hate it when G and r
swear on their albums. It sends me running for my bible. Yeah, you're also
right about the dissonant guitar work. Why even have a guitar when you can
simulate the sound on a synthesizer. I also hate groups that write their own
songs. It's just too original for me. Just give me some hip-hop beep bop
and off to the bathroom I go to wack off. You guys would make great music
critics if you had ears.

Another group that had one good album in them. The followup on CBS, and

Probably the best pop cover of an Everly Brothers song ever ("Man With Money").

Obviously you've never listened to the Velvet Underground.  Peter Buck

Hey,
  Need a name to a song that I found in my collection of junk remixes.

           Well I sat on the 15th floor among some factory plan
                feeling free to fall with a twisted, burning,
                bending hand.  The police cruised by the sky turned
                red.  I moved away from the barricade where people
                held their heads in shame.  I said good bye to an
                ugly youth and told the world my apology.
           The Sweetest side was burning bright in your eyes.
                You took my hand and led me to a magic side.
                And we found love on a stain glass plate
                you touch my hand and gave me faith
                And said I must be strong in this world hate
                you kiss my lips and took my breath away...

Not to get too testy, but the rhythm you ascribe to Bo Diddley is an ancient
one, known mostly as the hambone. Diddley is a fine guitarist whose
technique inspired the whammy-bar. He managed his shimmering riffs (at least
in the early footage I've seen) w/ touch alone. 

Your dismissal of Jeff Beck is a real question mark. I can't imagine a 
more enjoyable rock guitarist. Whether he has had no imitators is also
questionable...since I can't imagine guitarists like Joe Satriani w/o him. 
Regardless, Beck is a fine, explosive talent whose solos are as 
imaginative as rock gets: fast and funny, w/ a real buzz.

Clapton may not be an enormous talent as a guitarist (I think he's fine;
his fans worship him) but he has become a first rate blues singer. Anyone
who caught his acoustic set on MTV can attest to that. He consistently
gives his lyrics a lot of attention and his delivery has become very full
and warm. As a bluesman, he's earned his stripes.
