Got a nice beat and you can dance to it

My love of music is seconded to my love of baseball, and so I thought with the time I have this day I would give you some insight of what and who are my favorites.


These dudes to the left rank very high, but are not # 1.
Here they are, for all to mock, agree or disagree.







# 1 - The Beatles , never have 2 of the finest songwriters been in the same band, and Lennon & McCartney are 2 of the best 5 . White Album was their finest creation
# 2 - Bob Dylan, best songwriter, best story teller, spans 5 decades ( 1959 now entering 2011, 7th decade making music )
# 3 - Pink Floyd , edgy, quirky and extremely talented. Like most great bands, they split up due to strong pulls from talented band leaders, Gilmour and Watters. Build that Wall guys....
# 4 - The afore mentioned Led Zep's, super band crossed from eclectic muscial experimenters to hard driving rockers
# 5 - U2, so at least fols living now can associate with a group still touring. The Irish make a good whiskey, and good musicians. Strong instrumentals with guitar The Edge in the lead.
# 6 - Supertramp edges out The Who simply based on early Tramp Works like Crime of the Century, and Quietest Moments with great saxophone solos by Helliwell on School and other tracks.
# 7 - Stones, simply gotta give em some props for energy and being the "anti Beatles" takes a lot of confidence, plus decent songs, and being to move through the decades with relative ease, and with changing tastes and media, they seem to thrive on adversity.
# 8 - Rush, and this is no Canadian Content listing, this local 3 some have brought me some of the finest album tracks since the mid 70's ( Fly By Night ). Fave is Subdivsions. Be cool or be cast out.
# 9 - Clapton, in any situation, Cream, with the Dominoes, or solo, one of the top 5 with a guitar in hand.

# 10 - Rounding out top 10 is the crazies AC/DC, kilts, costumes and great rock anthems like Hells Bells, Highway to Hell amongst many than give you chills just awaiting the gongs, and the thumping bass.

Honourable mention to Billy Idol , the narly balled-ere, Springsteen and Neil Young, and to ELO.

New groups I like are The Killers, Flyleaf, Foo Fighters and Coldplay.

Iggy Pop - Fly

Iggy has a lust for life and for baseball.
