Just random observations. The construction guys renovating our offices had
the local classic rock station on. Haven't listened to anything like that
in years.


- Peral Jam is by far the most boring band to come out of Seattle in the
90's, but the only one who can get on a classic rock station, so they made
most of the money. The Screaming Trees, Alice in CHains, Mudhoney, Soundgarden,
and half a dozen others were better bands with better songs but don't fit
the format.

- Eddie Van Halen on their first record was a staggeringly good but also
tasteful guitar player. And there's something just joyful about the way he
played back then. It was lost as time went on but he's a pleasure to listen
to from that era.

- Angus Young has some devestating vibrato.

- There's nothing in this world short of a trailer truck of Saltines or Randy
Travis that positively screams CRACKER quite as loudly as More Than A Feeling
by Boston. There's no sheet music for that song 'cuase it's so white the
notes are unreadable.

- I will never get why the Steve Miller Band is so popular.

- If any band can give Van Halen a run for their money in the 'We didn't
used to suck but boy to we now' category it would be ZZ Top.

Opinions?
