If you had all your records stolen....

[Umm Zekiya]

I pretty much had to start from scratch, for I was forced to leave my collection behind in process of the move. But I'll give you a list of my top ten I can't live without.

1.) Led Zeppelin I
2.) Fleetwood Mac Mr. Wonderful
3.) Paul Butterfield Blues Band
4.) Cream Wheels of Fire
5.) Buddy Guy A man and the Blues
6.) Muddy Waters Live at Mr Kelly's
7.) Albert King Live
8.) Eric Clapton From the Cradle
9.) Freddy King Just Pickin'
10.) Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble Couldn't Stand the Weather

As you can see, the generaration and age difference. It doesn't matter, everone has different prefrences and the list would differ from one individule to another.

people hate Drinking in LA? i never knew. i think all three of their albums (Bran Van 3000) are fantastic. but i do hate the fact that i've never decided what genre to call them in foobar



i do like it quite a lot. in fact, i got to see him on that tour. it was the first night he played at Royal Albert Hall. Crosby and Nash were there doing backups, and Bowie made a guest appearance to sing Arnold Layne and then Waters' parts on Comfortably Nurab. it was the best show ever!

You're kidding.

It's those beats, man. Those beats are sick. Excursions samples Art Blakey, Jazz (We've Got) samples Freddy Hubbard's Red Clay, and coolest of all, Scenario samples Davis' "So What", the Ohio Players, Kool & The Gang (TWICE) and Jimi Hendrix.

This might not mean much to you, but that is revolutionary.

Not to mention, Tip's lyrics are some of the best of the genre. Audacious and thought provoking, yet restrained.

Planted on the ground, the act is so together
Bonafied strong, you need leverage to sever
The unit, yes, the unit, yes, the unit called the jazz is
Deliberatley cheered lp filled with streeet gooRAB
You can find it on the rack in your record store (store)
If you get the record, then your thoughts are adored
And appreciated, cause were ever so glad we made it
