Best Acoustic Guitar Players Of All Time?
Nuno can smoke!... Kind of wondering about the earlier mention of Jonas Hellborg; As far as i know he's a bass player. Buckethead did some fantastic acoustic guitar playing on Hellborg's Octave Of The Holy Innocents disc and Shawn Lane also delive... 
Best Acoustic Guitar Players Of All Time?
-Mantas Di Plata was pretty astounding (Paco fans will probably dig him, unfotunately the recording quality is generally not real spiff... still worth checking out)-Uwe Kropinski, So Oder So and Berlin Concert are both way more psyco-active and he... 
Best Genesis Album - your opinions please.
Never was a big fan (at least not of the whole catalog), but the 1st Live record (i think the one Mes mentioned) may not have been the cleanest recording (especially the 1st run cd, but it showed that these guys were really into what they were pla...

First song to "Blow You Away"...
I see some of you other geezers had to dig through a deep pile w/ feeble tools for this one. Seems like there were quite a few light bulbs, fire crackers, earthquakes, quasars and omeletes. Can't be sure what did it first... Donovan/ Sunshine Supe... 
Your favorite prog rock music? ?
Any mind altering rock influenced music could probably get a prog label stuck on it. Most of the greats bust up any sub-genre boxes people try to put em' in. Can, Mahavishnu Orchestra, F.Z., Hendrix, Henry Cow, King Crimson, Capt. Beefheart all pr... 
Your favorite prog rock music? ?
Where's Ken Golden ? (he's posted here before). Nice to see Guru Guru and Budgie listed. A vast range of stuff gets labled as prog rock. If you're coming from Yes/Time and a Word. You might like Finnforest, Ragnarok (the Swedish band), PFM (Per un... 
Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why?
Must agree that Manring's Att. Deficit stuff is groovin' as #@^%$***!!! Unfortunately some of his other stuff hits the Kenny G gag reflex. Attention Deficit is as good as or better than any project connected w/these 3 guys. Life is short Att. Defi... 
Indian Sitar Stuff
You started out near the top of the heap! Haven't found anything i dig more than 3 Ragas. For deluxe recording quality you may wanna check out Jonas Hellborg's Good People cd (no sitar, but it's close). 
Best music store online or off?
-Squidco has a whopper inventory of unusual brainfry, stuff no postage, good descriptions, real informative site.-Wayside Music also has a huge inventory of interesting discs, generally has some blurb that describes each recording. Home of the exc... 
cello music
...Might want to try Erik Friedlander (Topaz, Quake or Maldoror). Same w/Vincent Courtois (Translucide or anything he's done w/ Louis Sclavis). Hanks Roberts and Tom Cora have put out some interesting stuff too. 
Enrico Rava fans-what music do you suggest?
There's alot out there. Rava's put out at least three great ones since Easy Living. I might be way off in guessing what really hits you, but you could check out his past releases, (it would take long time to hear half of them). You probably would ...

Judas Priest on VH-1 Classic Friday 2-3-06
Thanks for pointing that one out... what a crack up. Geez eons ago Sad Wings of Destiny seemed dangerous extreme and subversive as hell, (wished they could have kept it going). Saw em' open for Mahogany Rush in 77'. The guitar playing alone tore t...
