@TheBrandedSwordsman ha! I didn’t know that, but not too surprised by anything when it comes to Zappa. There’s definitely some keys on some of his tracks, his wide use of many different instruments and styles is all...interesting. He’s a bit of an enigma in popular music and I suppose that’s what I like most about his music.

@TheBrandedSwordsman I kind of got on a 90’s Grunge Rock kick this week, so put on some Soundgarden, Shinedown, and Fuel. So, basically just bouncing around from one decade to the next, like usual. As soon as I get sick of one, then I move on to another 😄

@nessisonett i only have the remasters on cd..i bought pretty much their entire backlog when i worked in music zone (R.I.P.) and its taken me sooooo long to get round to them..people say hendrix is the greatest guitarist ever but i'll take eddie hazel anyday..maggot brain is one of the best guitar solos of all time..
@LordSteev i agree..never heard of them before untill i was watching an episode of lethal weapon which had me pulling my teeth out trying to find a led zeppelin song that didnt exist lol...he really is that uncanny..
@TheBrandedSwordsman nice! I haven’t heard that one, outside of the song ‘tutu’. I didn’t get a chance to listen to anything particular today but I have Tom Petty’s ‘Mojo’ picked out for tomorrow.

Isn't he? I know some critics complain that he sounds TOO much like Plant, but that's only a good thing in my book. If anything, I think he has even more raw power than Robert. For me, he's the best new singer I've heard in at least ten years.
@TheBrandedSwordsman no it’s not, though that is a pretty memorable video. ‘Mojo’ is a more recent album for Petty (2010) but I really enjoy it. If you like Petty at all and would like to hear him explore a more bluesy side it’s definitely worth checking out. Some of Mike Campbell’s best work is on this album in my opinion.

@Jimmer-jammer I see, I'll have a listen sometime then. I wanted to share this guy (Bill Orcutt, guitarist) with you as well, to see what you think. He does a kind of deconstructed avant-blues thing ,in the words of @nessisonett ,but will be borderline unlistenable to some due to it's avant-garde and experimental nature.
Anyone here in to Weyes Blood? I (like most people) have very eclectic tastes but I'm obssessed with her and wish more people would listen to her. Classic voice, classic songwriting.
@Mergatro1d Yeah, I wasn’t big on Titanic Rising the first time I heard it but it’s totally grown on me. Brilliant album and it totally gets the plaudits it deserves in certain circles.
@TheBrandedSwordsman That was... interesting. Honestly, not something I’d listen to much, but I’m glad I experienced it. I had a vivid picture in my head at one point of worker bees on an assembly line passing broken stringed instruments to each other. Each time they exchanged hands, the colours would invert until eventually everything was black and white. What a trip.

@Jimmer-jammer Hahaha! Great vision, well I'm glad you experienced it as well. Ok, someone more conventional for you now. Where do you stand on Joe Bonamassa? And @nessisonett ,what do you think of him?
