Sealth and Seattle are synonamous
and he didn't actually write that drivel - 
some hack historian cooked it up later (can't remember

Steve Winwood has had quite the musical history.  He started with a group called
_The Spencer Davis Group_ in the 60's.  They made some really good songs,
including "I'm a Man" and "Give me Some Lovin".  All of their best songs can
be found on _Best of The Spencer Davis Group_.  (In total he did 3 albums
with this group).  Then in '69 he was in a group called _Blind Faith_, and
they weren't that good.  From '67-'74 he was in Traffic.  They made a total
of 11 albums, which were pretty good.  The music was a little psychodelic,
but all in all was good listening.  Then from there he went solo... you know
the story from there.

I like the new album.  Then again, I like Bruce's Nebraska
too.  No one else I know likes much of the album, other
than what's been played on the radio.  I can't wait for
the tour, I've seen them live a few times and think they're
a lot of fun LIVE.  And isn't that the point?  I also
like Ritchie's solo project and Jon's new "doo".  Get to

Here's my list, but it's hard to differentiate between "best" and
"favorite," so some of mine are more of the latter:

1.  The Who         
2.  The Beatles
3.  The Doors               
4.  Rolling Stones 
5.  Santana

8.  Dire Straits              
9.  Pink Floyd          
10. It's A Beautiful Day  (from my early days in the Bay Area)

Sure wish I had room for Talking Heads, Creedence Clearwater Revival,
Supertramp, and The Cure.

Also since it's bands only, a lot of good artists get neglected like Van
Morrison, Eric Clapton and Prince.

My question is, was the original question (this time around) actually
the 10 best bands of all time, or "what are YOUR favorite 10 bands?"
or top 10 most influential . . .  ???

Anyway, I'll add two lists:

1.  All Time Best And/or Most Influential

Chuck Berry          -- one of first greats in R 'n' R

Bob Dylan            -- tough to compare with his songwriting

The Beatles          -- of course

Jimi Hendrix         \  two of the predecessors (sp) of
                      >   guitar rock-n-roll/
Led Zeppelin         /    hard rock/metal/etc.

Pink Floyd           -- "progressive rock"/"space rock"/art music/.....

The Who              -- classic rock and classic tunes

Bob Marley           -- reggae, etc.

Velvet Underground   -- one of the first big "underground"/"alternative" bands

The Ramones          -- they started BEFORE the Sex Pistols, remember



2.  My Personal Favorites

Jethro Tull          -- my favorite, gotta love that flute, albums like
                          Thick As A Brick, Minstrel In The Gallery, Aqualung

Billy Joel           -- great singer-songwriter-pianist (compares favorably to 
                          Elton John, etc.)

The Beatles          \  'nuf sed
Pink Floyd           /     about these two

Crowded House        -- one of the best bands of the '80s/'90s, also one of the
                          most underrated/ignored bands by some

Negativland          -- weird stuff, but lots of fun;  a different kind of
                          "industrial" music

Poi Dog Pondering    -- simply fun, with over a dozen musicians on each album
                          so far, if I remember correctly

"Weird Al" Yankovic  -- I'm not kidding, he's great (if you have the right
                          sense of humor for it)

Indigo Girls         -- lyrics, vocal harmonies, etc.

The B-52s            -- great songs, they don't take themselves too seriously

I'm *so* glad that this group is around.

Since we're slinging around so many subjective opinions, I may as well add
mine to the soup.

Hope we can get off of this Led Zeppelin binge soon.  I mean, I like them
as much as the next guy and own several of their albums, but the best of
all time?  My opinion is no.

The Doors? I like 'em. Was Mr. Morrison a poet? MMMMMmmmmm I think not. He
had a smooth voice, he was *extremely* expressive in his singing style, but
the lyrics to their songs were incredibly redundant. "Touch Me" consists
of the same short phrases over and over again, as do most of their hits.
I just heard "When You're Strange" and "Don't You Love Her Madly?" 
recently, and realized how often things are repeated over and over (and over)
in the Doors' songs.

One of my favorite groups (and one of the most underrated groups, IMO) of 
the late '60's and early '70's is Three Dog Night.  It's true that they
didn't write most of the stuff that they recorded, but their renditions
were without peer.  Chuck Negron had (has) as clear and solid a voice
as anyone out there, and Floyd Sneed was a terror on the drums. 

This is the only group that I can think of that had several of their hits 
re-recorded by the original writers *after* they had been made hits by 
someone else. That sentence is pretty hard to follow, so here's a couple
of examples: Elton John wrote "Your Song", but released it after Three
Dog Night; Paul Williams released (and ruined, IMO) "An Old Fashioned Love
Song" after Three Dog Night had a hit with it. "The Show Must Go On" was
released by the author (I've forgotten his name, but I can picture him)
after Three Dog Night had a hit with it.

They sort of gained a reputation as a "cover band" because of this, but the
fact is that they usually had the hit *first*, they just didn't happen to
write it. Other hits performed by TDN that were written by now-famous
people: "One" (Harry Nilsson), "Eli's Coming" (Laura Nyro), "Mama Told Me
Not to Come" (Randy Newman), "Liar" (Russ Ballard), "Joy to the World" and
"Never Been to Spain" (Hoyt Axton), "Pieces of April" and "Til the World
Ends" (Dave Loggins).

For what it's worth, as hard rock developed, I became a monster fan of both
Deep Purple and Uriah Heep, and have just about everything that they ever
did, but I still go back to Three Dog Night when I'm in the mood for 
something less mind-numbing.

When I was a young lad, I was really into UFO quite a bit. When I listened to the
"Phenomenon" album for the first time, I was really impressed (blown away actually)
with Mikey Schenker in "Rock Bottom".  Great solo.  I think that he was only about
16 at the time as well.

1) the Stones
2) zepplin
3) the Dead

Theres a bunch others such as the Who, Allmans, Skynard, Doors, floyd
Steppenwolf, BOC... My all time favorate is still Aerosmith, although oddly
I dont think alot of people consider them classic?!

Remember the great 8-track days when you could listen to two songs at
once? A cool thread would be what was the first album you bought, I think
mine was Alice Cooper but I forget the title? Anyway it was that or Boston
anyone remember when those albums came out?

 ive been thinking, one great band that no one has mentioned is steely
   dan!  any other steely dan fans out there? ive only recently started
   listening to them but their GREAT! can anyone reccomend some good
   albums by them?!

   Scott.

Pretzel Logic, Katy Lied, and Aja are my 3 favorites.
Of course you can't go wrong with A Decade of Steely Dan.

Donald Fagan's solo album, Nightfly, is also
exxxxxxxxxxxxxcellent!
