KThomas..we are both right...our musical universes are (and those that crucfied me) are just totally different. I guess I am now satisfied. Enough from me for awhile.

KThomas, it was a joke both about poor ol' Led Zep and about the radio stations. Still NOBODY has explained how they transcended everybody else. If my joke on radio stations is invalid then your take on selling agillion albums is also invalid beca...

Tomryan: a few observations: how many times do you hear the Beatles on classic rock radio stations, virtually zero;how many times do you hear them on oldies stations, only the very early stuff;how many times would you expect to hear them on colleg...

Jademo: So what's your point?? We were never discussing the virtues of the Chicago blues or its influence on rock music of the 60s. The thread was about the Beatles and their influence Were you around then or what? Do you think the Beatles were th...

Tubegroover: Speaking of car radios; have you ever had the opportunity to listen to a tubed one from the 50s/early 60s with reverb? Try it sometime. You will never go back to solid state car stereo again. Elvis never sounded better.

I was on vacation for two weeks without my computer;so no audiogon. I thought I would check back to see if there was anything worth responding. Cornfedboy: that was a funny, funny post;loved it. To the point: I took about 20 of my Beatles' CDs alo...

Tubegroover, Bruckner DID worship Wagner and even dedicated a symphony to him but did he emulate him musically??? Not really; even if thought he himself did; time suggests that he did not and really followed in line more with Beethoven/Schubert; h...

Yes it is blatant trolling;I am the slime that lurks at the bottom; ; so what is it to you??? I still believe in what I say. The Beatles were what they were;nothing more but much less than what you think.

Jademo, The London school of British imports were a much different breed from the Liverpool boys. They were going to make it in spite of the trash from the beatles. In fact the Beatles set back rock 10 years. Listen any American garage band worth ...

oops. Bopper....hell I cannot even spell Schubert right my hero. Speaking of A. Bruckner,if you do not understand Schubert than you will not understand Bruckner;its that simple; Bruckner was never a disciple of Wagner although at first blush you m...

God I am laughing so hard. It's 1965 me and boys are driving in my 1963 Plymouth Fury with a 383/dual quads/hooker headers/cheater slicks etc. Trying to score with some chicks. We are listening to WKBW in Buffalo NY the Animals It's My Life comes ... 
Greatest Guitar Band
Saw Cream and Blind Faith; Only the live album from wheels of fire and really only two cuts : Crossroads and Spoonful. Blind Faith album was an incredible bore and the concert was a waste of money. Clapton knew it was a waste of time; then worked ...

Thanks for all replies. There were some great guitar bands through the years and thanks for bringing up some that I forgot about over the years including Savoy Brown(was "lonesome Dave" lead guitar of SB???)and QuickSilver Messenger Service. Dire ...

To Ben: In order for a guitar band to play well it needs a drummer that keeps the group in order. The harmonica playing of Keith was just an added bonus. OK, I loved the Yardbirds maybe because they could play their instruments. Maybe I liked them... 
Greatest Guitar Band
OK I like JJ Cale, I really like his version of "Cocaine", of course he wrote it. But again he is a just a great guitarist without a really good backup band. Same goes with E Clapton. Besides having just session players his music has been lacking ...
