Picking up from last night... Nothing personal, but I fail to see how Paul Griffith (sp?) from Mr Big/Racer X is a more talented guitarist than Clapton/Hendrix. I've heard various songs done by them & it doesn't amaze me. He can't even compare to the likenesses of Vai/Satriani/Yngwie, let alone the revolutionary guitarists. I don't think that displaying both electric & acoustic (as a lot of alternative bands did) makes you "s**ty" as you had quoted last night. Of course this is all based in my opinion, and not a fact, so if this makes me "insane" to your thread, then I will leave as I see I'm not welcome.

Many artists have covered this song over the past few years, everything from Rock to Pop to Rap. There was a recent song called Fame by a band known as Dust, it's a possibility, but I'm really not sure.

They do! with a bit of a Santana influence. I hope these guys wind up getting the credit they deserve, if they can keep their track in the rock circle.

He does a good job at both electric & acoustic. His work on Facelift followed by Dirt, IMO is his best, but I also like the Unplugged album.

A lot of New Wave from the 80's gets stuck in my head easily, such as Turning Japanese, Rock Me Amadeus, Tarzan Boy, etc. I've always tried to steer as far away from that type of music as possible so it doesn't repeat itself in my head over & over again. Whoever writes it though, does a good job at making something that sticks.

Half of this list is a joke anyways, I've always hated Spin's commentary & list ranking, but this one tops it. I don't see how Korn is better than Pink Floyd, Ramones more revolutionary than Led Zeppelin?, or Rage higher than The Who? I don't see how Fugazi or Pavement makes the cut, the same with Bad Brains. Who has heard of Fela Kuti? Who the hell remembers Blondie? Iggy Pop & the Stooges didn't do enough for the top 20, CCR would've been much better up there. Where is Bob Dylan, Elvis, James Brown, Eric Clapton, The Doors, Eagles, Bruce Springsteen, Aretha, Fleetwood Mac, Buddy Holly, Simon & Garfunkel, B.B. King, Smokey Robinson, etc etc.. it goes on & on. Obviously when they said "All-Time" what they really meant was last 30 years or so.

These guys are listed amongst the top 100 classic rock bands, they had a lot of radio air time with a few of their songs (like They Boys are Back in Town, Bad Reputation, & Jailbreak) They're a good band, even though I always thought of the late Phil Lynott as kind of a Jimi wannabee, but maybe not.

This is a somewhat old list now, 2 years in the making. But SPIN made a list of the top 50 greatest rock bands ever: 01. The Beatles 02. Ramones 03. Led Zeppelin 04. Bob Marley & The Wailers 05. Nirvana 06. Parliament/Funkadelic 07. The Clash 08. Public Enemy 09. The Rolling Stones 10. Beastie Boys 11. The Velvet Underground 12. Sly and The Family Stone 13. U2 14. Run-D.M.C. 15. Radiohead 16. The Jimi Hendrix Experience 17. Sonic Youth 18. Ac/Dc 19. The Stooges 20. Metallica 21. The Smiths 22. Patti Smith Group 23. N.W.A. 24. Kraftwerk 25. The Sex Pistols 26. Pearl Jam 27. Grateful Dead 28. R.E.M. 29. Black Sabbath 30. Pavement 31. Fugazi 32. Kiss 33. Pretenders 34. Rage Against The Machine 35. Fela Kuti & Afrika 70/Egypt 80 36. David Bowie And The Spiders From Mars 37. Blondie 38. Bad Brains 39. The Who 40. Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five 41. New Order 42. Husker Du 43. Guns N' Roses 44. Outkast 45. The Beach Boys 46. Massive Attack 47. Lynyrd Skynyrd 48. Korn 49. Pink Floyd 50. Red Hot Chili Peppers They only got #1 right, with a lot of good artists mentioned, a lot of the others could've been done without.

I would, but around 4/5 of the Top 20 threads on this forum are about Guitarists, I don't want to annoy anybody with another thread of the same topic LOL

I'm not sure who sings it, but I think Tenacious uses that for her siggy.

Hey, I'm looking for a thread from last night, It was titled something like "Calling all Sane Musicians" I had an answer prepared for the debate with the guy who started the thread. Is it still here or did it get deleted? ::

OK I'll delete the ones I don't need, & thank you for replying, I've been kinda waiting, wondering if I need to delete those, in case it blocks others from coming in

They're receiving mainstream credibility, I've seen the video for Heaven a few times on the local morning music video channel (61) here in Phoenix, they're pretty popular out here. They're a nice blend of bluesy Tex-Mex rock & worth the listen. :guitar:

Better Man was written by Eddie Vedder when he was with a previous band called "Bad Radio". Also check this out on SongFacts

Bob Marley is another good one, most of his work up until Exodus, but the best IMO is Soul Rebels.

some good songs are Pull Me Under & Metropolis, if you can find those, they're good recommendations

Tybalt, I've seen most of those movies & I agree they're out of the ordinary & a must see for anybody who likes theatrical yet obscure movie plots.

I think you summed it up just about right with that, but I live in a major city so there's your typical metro lifestyle, other than being too hot & filled with desert & mountain ranges everywhere. Being from the midwest originally, it takes a while to regulate to any other region in the United States, but that's what makes this country so unique from the others, is it's diversity of provincial divisions.

It's by Josh Kelley & the song is called Everybody Wants You Lyrics: You've been bad You know you've been good Did you lose your mind, like I knew you would Did you sing your song Did you sing it so loud Did you sing it so everyone can hear in the crowd Did you lose yourself Did you lose your health Did you put my memories on the shelf Did you lose your place Did you lose your grace Just so everyone could see your singing face Its like everybody loves you and everybody wants you lately Its like everybody needs you and everybody sees you today You've been sad Your misunderstood Did you find your kind, Like i knew you would Did you feel your song Did you feel it so real Did you feel it so everyone could see your grand appeal Did you lose yourself Did you lose your health Did you put my memories on the shelf Did you lose your place Did you lose your grace Just so everyone could see your singing face Its like everybody loves you and everybody wants you lately Its like everybody needs you and everybody sees you today Today If they would let me show For the time we love Time will say, Keep the fun alive and lead the way to our today Did you lose yourself Did you lose your health Did you put my memories on the shelf Did you lose your place Did you lose your grace Just so everyone could see your singing face Its like everybody loves you and everybody wants you lately Its like everybody needs you and everybody sees you today Its like everybody loves you and everybody wants you lately Its like everybody needs you and everybody sees you today Today

There's a lifestyle here?? I sure would like to know what it's about, as long as it doesn't involve heatwaves & being stranded in the desert.

Hey Batman, if you love reading lists (which I do too, if they're official enough) then check out the GuitarWorld's 100 Greatest Solo's list. I posted it at the very bottom of This Thread & can also be found in more detail at This Site

That's all a part of what made it such a classic, & gave the song it's distinction. The song would be much different without the lengthy adapted intro.
