No order is right. How you could put a confused white boy/punk who doesn't sing or play an instrument (the definition of a musician) in a list with the greatest composer and guitarist of all time is still flying over my head.

:cheeky-sm

Oh...my list:


Mozart
Elvis
Beethoven
Johnny Cash
Metallica

[BigSKINBauer]

way i looked at it, couldn't put 2 classical or two rap or two of anything on the list because they have to be the best at their respective genres atleast. I am going to also change from mozart to beethoven on the list though i think they are both top 3 overall, don't want to put them both there. I guess i was in a mozart mood that day but i'm going with beethoven now

Hendrix
The Doors
Genesis

Now as for my fav's
1. Junyard - Nobody and I mean NOBODY cranks like them. Buggs, Winko, Heavy One (RIP), Dre Dog, Black Pooh, Gene Pratt back in the day, KC, T-Bob, Dimi Doc, Baker, and with Bo Chilly on the sound ! I mean I should stop now. Used to go to the Taj Mahal (moment of silence .................. Thanks) on Friday and the Ibex ( moment of silence ..................... Thank you everyone) on Sunday. Buggs is by far IMO the best #1. I give Funk his due but Buggs is just ridiculous.
2. Backyard - When they hit the scene go-go had gotten away from pockets and sockets being held for long periods of time. It was more so all breakdowns but when Back came out and when G got on the mic it was perfect. With Buggy, Sauce, and Whitboy they had a drummer a congo player and a lead guitar player that could get you there! They were the Onyx of Go-Go and had this grimy sound that could switch to sockets with a drive that wouldn't stop. Saw them a couple of times at the Ibex ( moment of silence ............ Thank You all)
3. NEG - I mean DAMN ! I never saw them live but they were vicious. Groover has a constant party going on for a whole show. Chris (Rah Rah) is VERY underrated IMO as a lead talker. I was at the Legend on night and he got on the mic while they played a Groovers song and had the club rockin. He has a yell which is only beat out by Big G. I mean shit HAVE YOU SEEN SUNSHINE AND JUICY ? DAMN !!!!! Smoke on the congos, Jammin Jef and then Stomp Dog on the drums, Dig F'n Dug on the roto toms. Damn I love go-go.

Never really listened to Essence that much but most of the people I know say they are the greatest. I give them theyre respect because they have been in the game for a min.

NOW FOR MY GO GO HEADS THE TOP DEBATE IS on March 31, 1996 Junkyard did a show,... wait I'm sorry I know we don't use the actual date. 3-31-96 at the Ibex JY played and there was a solo battle between Wink and Smoke,.... who won ? I KNOW you all have heard this and if you don't own it then you are slippin !

Other than Go Go my top musicians are:

Mozart
Bethoven
Prince
Stevie Wonder
James Brown
Jimi Hendrix

Artists/Groups

Earth Wind and Fire
Marvin Gaye
Led Zepplin
Red Hot Chilli Peppers

I'll be typing forever let me stop !!!!!

Oh wow The IBEX down on Georgia and Missouri! That takes me back

Hot enough to turn goat milk into gasoline.

That is the house band from Stax Records in Memphis, Tenessee if anyone is interested. Duck Dunn, Steve Cropper, drummer Terry Johnson, and The Memphis Horns. And, of course, Sam and Dave.

I was watching a special over the weekend on the Monterey Pop Festival and these guys were backing up Otis Redding. They're as tight as a band can get, I think.

Just down loaded a bunch of old school stuff. I love it.


Here's my list. In no particular order.


Jim Morrison
All 3 Beastie Boys (open up your ears and you may see)
Hendrix
Stevie Ray Vaughn

I hope this is a joke, because IMO these are some of the worst bands in existence.

I'd leave the Foos out of that, but yeah the rest of that list is pretty horrid. But hey, to each his own. I remember when I was a kid thinking bands like Def Leopard and Bon Jovi rocked.

Yeah you're right, I should have left the Foo Fighters out.

I'm watching some ebay auctions for really good tix, I don't care about paying the extra $$ to see them up close.

That's awesome, I am seeing Tool two days after that in Reading, PA.
