Essential for what?
To understand rock's evolution to what it is today - The Roy Orbison Anthology
To appreciate its nuances - Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Waters
To just enjoy the pure sounds of voice and instruments - Layla by Derek and the Dominoes

Cool idea!!!

"Delta Lady" is infinitely better on Joe Cocker's live album titled Mad Dogs and Englishmen than on the somewhat sterile (in relation) studio version.
I also feel the definitive version of Cocker's "With A Little Help From My Friends" is the live version from Woodstock. Speaking of that festival, Santana's "Soul Sacrifice" is better there on stage than on other subsequent studio versions. Of course he probably wasn't on acid when making those studio cuts.

Ahhh.. that first love. So fresh and innocent. Good piece.

I have a friend who plays acoustic blues and swears by his Ovation. In addition to the sound quality, he likes tuning at the back of the neck.

Rare Earth covered Ray Charles' "What'd I Say" and made it better than the master!

Your heart comes through your writing, Jane. This is a wonderful tribute that warms me to know a daughter thought of her father in this manner.
I have a piece that my sister read at my father's funeral last year. I will find and post.

Uh oh .... this thread could turn weird ....
Again, nice writing, Carl!
Let's all dance and kareoke!

Neither John Ford, Orson Welles, Martin Scorcese, Ridley Scott, Spike Lee, Peter Weir, Steven Soderbergh, James Cameron, Mike Nichols, Brian DePalma nor Tim Burton are slouches. I really respect the work of Frank Oz (Labirynth) and Harold Ramis (Groundhog Day)

Great read, Carl; and an even better message. We only have one shot at being ourselves. It's worth the risk to claim it.

I change my vote! I change my vote! I thought III was II and got them mixed up. II was my first Zep intro also and still feel it contains the best group of songs. "The Lemon Song" alone makes it a classic and "Ramble On" contains my alltime favorite bass work.

Because I've always wanted to sashay when I walk. Well, at least once before I die. It would be fabulous.
Been doing a little practicing, Ken?

He was affectionately known as "The Best Friend a Song Ever Had." He was a black pioneer in the 50's, when it was not easy to be a black pioneer. He was the first man of color to have his own weekly jazz radio show and also the first to host a weekly entertainment TV show. He made the definitive version of "Mona Lisa" and "When I Fall In Love." He charted two number one hits on the Pop 40 with "Ramblin Rose" and "Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer." Was in the movie, "Cat Ballou" playing a travelling minstrel, singing duets with ... Stubby Kaye???

More than a day ..... Bernie Taupin. I could have the emotional satisfaction and financial benefits of multiple hit songs but still go unrecognized nearly anywhere I wished to be. For a single day, I suppose doing a concert as Paul Simon. Such rich music and harmonies with my friend Art, knowing the crowd would listen to the words. On the other hand ... I have thought how it would feel prowling the stage like Mick Jagger or Billy Joel.
-
Wilson Pickett, Betty Everett, The Isley Brothers, Neville Brothers, Righteous Brothers, Sister Sledge, (early) Three Dog Night, Lou Rawls, Bill Withers, Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose, Sly and the Family Stone .... and a lot more that others might add here.

There are written poems that are devoid of intimacy, and yet, at the same time entertaining. However, if one is to truly reach deeply into the heart of another, then the poet must reveal their soul. You have done that here and far from any form of embarassment, you should feel appreciation by those of us who understand the feelings you described so personally and so well; and are comforted to know we are not alone in our heartaches.

I liked Seinfeld ... especially Kramer. But I must say, you have made me laugh out loud on many, many ocassions on this board. Batman, Old 55, Uncle Joe, Edna, on and on ... all have made me laugh a lot. In fact, THIS site is better than Seinfeld. So many rich characters and funny on-going themes. Like any sitcom, one has to stay tuned awhile to appreciate the plots and sub-plots. Good schtuff!

Right, he was the Seinfeld show'a running spoof on Cochran. In the last episode he was in bed with Teri Hatcher.
Your original gag line was much better than my comeback. I laughed at yours.
-
I guess you didn't see the final episode of "Seinfeld."
-
Teri Hatcher.....DID HER!
Oh man ... seconds to Jackie Chiles ... ewwww!

I might get booed for this, but I cannot listen to Clapton's "You Look Wonderful Tonight." My wife's ex was alcoholic and I've heard her horror stories of having to put him to bed after parties, then cleaning up his slobber and vomit. While the song's instrumental refrain may be hauntingly beautiful, there is nothing romantic or wonderful about a story of a guy too drunk to disrobe himself.
