    Frank Black - Frank Black

    First solo album by Pixies frontman. Chaotic, varied, interesting, rocky, weird but in a very accessible way.
    Cant believe it's taken me this long to get this, it's terrific (possibly better than Teenager of the Year, which is very good but overlong and not all top notch)

    The Velvet Underground on youtube: -
    Murder Mystery
    Ocean

    God, when Lou was hot he was fcuking mustard
    Brilliant. Their 'Live at Max's Kansas City' album is great aswell. Some may disagree but I absolutely love Femme Fatale with Lou powering out that chorus instead of Nico. (still love the original though)

    Love his album New York. Lou rocks.

    The cream re-union concerts at the Albert Hall.
    These three guys were the blueprint of blues/rock/fusion and at nearly 70 years of age, 40 years after there height?...... during the solo here stop the crowd 'stone cold' with there playing. Eric playing with the savage intensity of Hendrix, and the sensational Jack Bruce. To me the most accomplished three piece band of all time?

    Clapton never happened for me. His play was more textbook, where Hendrix's came from the soul. When I was a kid, Mick Ronson was the guitar god; still love the Bowie/Ronson and Hunter/Ronson combos. RIP.

  • Been a Hendrix fan from the minute I heard him Kafka, but as a group this lot did set the bar for the want of a better word progressive rock/blues/. Remember jimi came to London as part of his agreement with Chas Chandler, they were great friends. In many way's I think Jimi would have moved towards the more pure/chicargo blues of eric. When I saw eric a few years back,( with saga lout) he seemed to be content with as you say playing textbook stuff, excellent as it was , lacking in passion. If you look at this track, he plays from his heart, those notes are not his usual runs and chords.
    Jack and Ginger regarded themselves as jazz musicians, eric has always been a blues player. Jimi was simply unique, SRV, Jeff Beck and many others can play wonderfully techinical playing, but as you say jimi's music came from the heart?. Rory Gallagher is the only other guitarist who comes near to jimi for me, sadly he is dead as well. Guitarist's do not seem to make old bones, which considering Clapton's addictions is something of a miracle, but then he was /is 'god'.
