In My Own Words:
Elvis Costello, Frank Zappa, REM, Mozart and Sting... with pepper and salt of Dream Theater and old Metallica. AC/DC for dessert and Pink Floyd for nap time. If you like Pink Floyd check out RPWL type those letters in the search here at amazon. Great stuff.. very floydlike.

Okay. I am in the military, and in a foreign country full of sand. One night someone handed me Quebec by Ween. I listened to it and was knocked out with fantastic music.

Get this. You won't be sorry. what a psychedilic experience.

Okay. I have just purchased the new Eric Clapton's CD called Me and Mr. Johson. And boy, did I dislike that CD for its lack of inspiration. I wrote a review of it. Gave it a 3 star. Then I got to thinking... when has EC made some decent music in the past ten or so years? Well one recording is THIS ONE. This recording has passion, great singing, and some fantastic interplay between two guitar players. I totally enjoy every song, and perhaps the presence of BB KING EC found that he must be on good, inspired behavior since he does not sleep walk through this recording like he seemingly did on some others. Another great recording to grab onto, From The Cradle. Perhaps the best EC… Read more
