Crosstown Traffic..and rock song with a Kazoo...has to make the top 5.

Crosstown Traffic..and rock song with a Kazoo...has to make the top 5.

Red House because its a blues staple and Jimi just OWNS it, and shows his blues roots. And I plain love his version (and Bobbie Bland's).

All Along the Watchtower for all the same reasons, just substitution gospel/soul for blues.

Hey Joe, I love his, but this might be the one I could give in on.

Wind Cries Mary because it is so beautifully done, and so different from his best known work, it brings tears to my eyes sometimes.

Purple Haze because its just the quintessential Jimi rocking out.

Crosstown Traffic is same as Purple Haze, I suppose I can give in on Hey Joe.

Top 5 Rear Entry Boots

1. Salomon SX90, the RE boot that actually succeded on the WC
2. Nordica Polaris, the RE knee-high boot that was first actually designed to be a knee-high boot
3. Kastinger Porsche Design, It was Porsche designed!
4. Raichle Air, It had air...not that that is a good thing
5. Salomon SX92/93, a boot so versatile and skis well, that is should still be offered today. Right @mdf?

I think they're all great..I've always had a soft spot for Little Wing though. And If 6 Were 9. Those two are really great for me too. More Little Wing though. There was a great induction speech for Jimi Hendrix and the Experience at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Neil Young.

Yeah, I can't argue those.

Damn, I haven't introduced my kids to the Clash yet. Might be time!

This is going to sound crazy, but Yitzhak Perlman. I am relatively unschooled in classical music, but was a jaw dropping, stunning, edge of the seat 3 hours. No lie. Even my 8yr old (at the time) daughter. Stunning

Not crazy, totally cool. Took my dad to see him in concert once and it was amazing.

Limiting to top 5 for Hendrix or Clash is a fool's errand. Machine Gun? Train in Vain?

And how was The Clash left out of the lists of punk bands or band break-ups?

Same reason Greenday was. They became TOO mainstream. Anyone with a Top 10 Billboard hit can no longer be truly "punk".

 

[Crank]

Jam Bands:

Grateful Dead
Allman Brothers Band
Crosby Stills Nash and Young - yeah you read that right
Phish
String Cheese Incident
