I like some of McLaughlin's stuff immensely, especially the live Shakti album. I'm consistently amazed by how clear and forceful he makes each note playing at that velocity, and how natural the interplay is between McLaughlin and the tabla players... simply amazing.

It has been said many times in this thread, and it's true -- at the end of the day it is all subjective. We like what we like, and that's what we think is "good." I give respect to the great players that I don't like the music of, which includes a lot of the metal/shred players... I don't happen to like what they do, but I can still recognize that they do it very well.

Master of Puppets

It made #33 on the list. Do you think it should have been #1?



Is anyone familiar with the tune "Congo Square" by Great White? Some damn fine pickin' on that song.

Any Frampton fans? "Do you feel like we do" should have made the list, I can see several tunes that made it that I would replace with that.

I think the purpose of this is basically to satisfy some of the readers, do a bit of contraversy and initiate a discussion among even more of them and eventually make a part of them check for something they never looked into (older, different style or more rare stuff).

So even it may be totally off target it's always amusing.

I'd like to add something at this point:

I own copies of albums 1-3 of theirs.

And I hear they've found a lead singer that can do justice to (and thus honor) Brad Delp's vocals

And they are on tour. In fact they are playing my hometown of Winnipeg soon.

Yes, he was from Stryper! I am about to hear the one album they did without Brad Delp ("Walk On") today.
