Their songs seemed to have a lack of guitar music though they always employed at least one...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/SlyCy1893/414997The Beatles are my all time favorite group. They inspired me to take up the guitar for which I am grateful but for which the people who have to listen to me are furious. I love Ringo's drumming and George's guitar playing. John and Paul are among the best of all rock singers. I just have to say...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/SlyCy1893/385250This band had an interesting history. The three brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice got in minor trouble with the law so they immigrated to Australia around 1959. They had been singing even in England and they kept up this pastime in Australia. Barry, the oldest Bee Gee, and a terrific songwriter,...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/SlyCy1893/384048The Bee Gees were a trio of brothers that hailed from Australia and were a great band in the late sixties into the early seventies, and indeed into the later seventies when the disco craze made them fabulously rich, but destroyed much of their credibility and their legitimate legacy. The three...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/SlyCy1893/370265The Talking Heads are a wonderful band fronted by lead singer and guitarist David Byrne. His bandmates are Tina Weymouth who plays bass and sings back up, drummer Chris Frantz and guitarist and back up vocalist Jerry Harrison. Burning Down the House was their first big hit but they had many...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/SlyCy1893/365387The Supremes aka Dianna Ross and the Supremes were, as their name implied, the best girl group, and some considered them one of the best groups period, of the 1960s. Dianna Ross of course, always sang lead, and she was backed up by Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson. The latter two were terrific...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/SlyCy1893/361749Roland Ozabal, the head Tear and guitar player and Curt Smith who plays bass and keyboards. Their first album was their best or at least held most of their hits. Shout and Everybody Wants to Rule the World are their two biggest songs. My favorite is Head Over Heels and I liked that video. They...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/SlyCy1893/320828The Hooters are a fine band out of Philadlephia who have been together since 1980. They have five members, David Uosikkinen, ( dreadful name to spell!) who plays drums, Bob Hyman, vocals and keyboards, John Lilley, guitar, Fran Smith, bassist and vocalist, and Eric Bazillian vocals and guitars....http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/SlyCy1893/289527The best three rock bands of all time are The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and the Who. A half step behind these three are the Kinks and a half step behind the Kinks are The Hollies. The Hollies featured terrific vocal harmonies better even than the Beatles partly because they had five guys...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/SlyCy1893/283001Eric Johnson is an awesome guitar player from Austin, Texas. He is a favorite of Peter Jansen, my guitar teacher and if Peter thinks somebody is a great guitar player, that person is a great guitar player. Johnson's first album included Ah Via Musicom, Cliffs of Dover, Desert Rose, and High...
