Decades Feeder Bracket - 1974 Round of 16

[mirth]

ZZ Top was a fad band.

The fuck you talkin about Willis?!?  :o
Being around as long as they have is hardly a fad....  ::)

And Joe Walsh is a fantastic guitar player, one of the best of all time.

But I agree with you about Rush... way over rated... all their music sounds exactly the same to me.

Stop your two week bender and we'll talk serious. The only thing you're right about is Rush.

Rush's Signals album did a pretty good job of scratching a Prog/New Wave crossover itch.

Your voice of reason has no place here

You are both welcome to your opinions.  Even if they are wrong.

Joe Walsh isn't bad, but I'd put Steve Vai and/or Satch above him...though none of 'em can touch Tony MacAlpine.

Joe writes good songs.. I can't even name a Vai or Satriani song even though I have some of their albums.. Yes they are phenomenal guitarists, but from a writing aspect, they will be forgotten in the decades to come.

Steve Vai spent most of his best gigs as a hired gun for other folks like Frank Zappa or David Lee Roth

Joe Satriani had a brief stint w/ Greg Kinh but has mainly been know for instrumentals like Surfing With The Alien, I Wish I Could Fly, and Satch Boogie.  Since there's no singing along w/ an instrumental, people don't think of their composers as "songwriters"

Joe Walsh gave us a bunch of great James Gang tunes, and a bunch of great late-Eagles tunes, but his solo output has been pretty uneven, from the highs of In The City (later redone by the Eagles), Turn to Stone, and The Confessor, to the lows of Life's Been Good, Ordinary Average Guy, and The Waffle Stomp.  For every Rocky Mountain Way, there's a Space Age Whiz Kids.

My friend bought me surfing back when it came out, and it just did nothing for me. Not like Jeff Beck's Wired and Blow by Blow which I listened to death!.. Again both (Satriani and Vai)  are outstanding guitarists/musicians, but that is not everything. Also there is nothing wrong with them being people's favorite's, just saying Joe has his place in music, and it is a pretty solid one. He did pretty darn good, considering how much of a lush he was!

Edit: And actually I'm not a 'huge' Joe Walsh fan, but he has written some good hits, and made major contribution to the Eagles.

Tony is easily my favorite. A friend of mine turned me on to him back in the mid-90s. The guy is a phenomenal guitar player and classical pianist, too.

This was the first album of his that I listened to, the one my friend let me borrow. It's fantastic.
