Extreme

And about Hendrix, I agree with Wrathy. Listening to him now, after the '80s era of highly technical guitar playing of course he sounds rough as guts and you might say he's overrated coz he has nowhere near the skill level of the other guitarists. But you kinda have to place yourself in the era when he was playing. In 1966-1970 he blew everybody's mind. The era of speed metal and big hair flash guitar was non-existent at the time.

If you learnt anything from Bill and Ted, it's that big hair flash guitarists can go back in time.

Thus it was around in 1966.

Wrathy that is one of the first serious posts of yours I have entirely agreed with.

While most people regard Pornograffiti as their high moment, Extreme's III Sides To Every Story is one of those hidden gems of the early '90s that never gained the cred it deserved due to the grunge "revolution." Great songwriting [it's a concept album of sorts], excellent performances all round, and a well-produced, sumptuous sound. Beware though, it may take some time to grow on you. It's worth the effort.

Do not pass this one.

Is this the same Extreme that Susanne Vega sang for?

Serious posts, you say? SERIOUS? All my posts are serious, except possibly for this one and those hundreds of others that involve more than a little urine extraction .

The Beatles were talentless hacks?!?!?

What in the name of Chesty LaRue did I miss?

This was ages ago (the beginning of the year, I think) - I tried to find the thread it was mentioned in but I got sick of looking.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Yes I remember that also, so Spiff isn't going senile...yet.

If you don't like The Beatles, you're wrong. That is all.

I am not all that into them, but I have huge amounts of respect for them, and do enjoy some of their stuff.

 

[Wrathchild]

For years I dismissed The Beatles as my parents' music and didn't give them a second thought. Then in 1993 I listened to them for myself and found out just how great they are.

I've never liked The Rolling Stones though. Funny that.

Me neither. I also think Led Zep are mighty overated, but you already knew that.
