No Jose Feliciano. What a crock...

had to be done........

 

[srw]

What do you make of it?

Segovia? Bream? Django Reinhardt? John Dowland?

They've got a funny view of "music" and "of all time".

 

[dellzeqq]

and, while we're mired in the past.........Walter Becker. More important than one might think, because he brought style to guitar playing in an era of unthinking athleticism. Fewer notes, sweeter message

Oh yes! Good call.

And speaking of John Peel faves, where the hell is Lowell George?

And JJ Cale?

Oh yeah, dear old Lowell. What about Canvey's finest, Wilco Johnson?

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Unknown in Rolling Stone. Hawk spit. And where's Mick Green as well?

Mick Green, now you're talking - we need to seriously update this shoddy RS list.

A great mover too....

[alecstilleyedye]

would have liked to see tim bricheno make the list…

 

[Peteaud]

Utter rubbish list - H from Steps isn't even on there

 

[Doseone]

I'm happy, Carlos Santana and Eddy Van Halen both in there.

Wow !, After agreeing with one of Dell's postings (on another thread) I now find myself agreeing with SRW ! I'm on his ignore list, yet three of those he mentions, I mentioned earlier !

Someone, please tell him.

Must be a case of 'great minds think alike'

 

[pubrunner]

Oh yeah, dear old Lowell. What about Canvey's finest, Wilco Johnson?

He should deffo be on the list IMO.

tbh I think that JJ Cale, Lowell George and 'Skunk' Baxter were mediocre Valley musicians of little talent and less imagination lifted above their station by a music industry dulled, nay stupefied, by the over-consumption of cocaine. Becker sort of held the fort until Patti Smith saved pop music.

Ralph Towner, anyone?

 

[slowmotion]

No Alvin...?????

I've seen some nonsense on this site, and most of it generated by me, but you've gone too far sir!
Tell you what, take yer Ralph Towner and shove him. So nah!
