   It's way easier to be shaggy when you still have hair.  LOL

The Kaleidoscope had their shag goin' on, too.

I narrowed it down a bit so it's between Janko Nilovic, Era, Allman Brothers, Peace & Quiet and Phillip Glass.

As far as well known..

I liked Doc's suggestion.

Perhaps some here really hadn't heard it and perhaps those who knew it but didn't understand what it was about might have gained a better appreciation of it than a bunch of scary looking shaggy ruffians just Joe-jamming away..

I thought I had read the rules right.  I remember I had mailed you asking about individuals who may have been in PA in a group, but not as a solo artist (Annie Haslam comes to mind, but I'm pretty sure everyone here has heard her solo stuff, I have a couple of others in mind), and you'd responded with a similar answer as far as your first sentence here.

I also try to stay away from what I think would be widely known, I have always loved championing the underdog.  Smile

And yes, shaggy was quite the style back in those days.  LOL

let's have a catchiest song you like round. I am curious what people will come up with. LOL

I was toying around with a "top 10 hits only" theme idea, just to piss Pedro off. Big smile But it could be fun

I wasn't thinking about top 10 hits, just catchy songs, whatever the genre, hopefully a diverse round, any genre can be catchy, from, pop, rock to metal, even jazz. So it can be interesting, entertaining. 

there really is wealth of themes to hit upon.. I"ve already decided on the next one I'd do.. which I'll whip out when or if others don't volunteer and we hit a slick spot and spin our collective wheels.

Back when I was still terrorizing Facebook before I stepped away for my own sanity.. I posed a question to my friends and followers and we have quite a discussion about it.

'popular songs we consider most perfect'  some really great suggestions to that..  might be a hard one to do though as a popular suggestion was one that is most certainly here on the Archives..  guess I wasn't the only one to Micky test and Micky approve the songs effects on the fairer sex in conjunction with a roaring fire and a bottle of wine..

So I want to confirm that I didn't break the rules by the US Kaleidoscope's inclusion, as it's been quite popular.  They are not in PA.  I think I may have brought them to attention, asking if they should be (a very long time ago), but they certainly weren't added, can't remember if they were denied or never given a final determination.

amen to that 'bro Beer..  and suppose I should finally get around to voting.. think I have finally settled on a top 3. Time well spent.. 2 of my 3 didn't really bite on the first listens but did finally on repeated listens..

I guess today I'll give the prog poll my undivided attention.. but Raff was listening to those yesterday and I have to admit I was only listening with half an ear. I'm not if it is a 'cause or because kind of dope man. .but yeah..I'd tend to agree with both of you and surprised by the lack of interesting selections that made me want to fully engage and listen with both ears. Perhaps it just paled in comparison to the diversity we've sort of got spoiled upon at Lorenzo's BBQ.


it's not because the prog round was not diverse, it was, it was just that I had more fun in the non-prog rounds. Big smile

I can absolutely dig the more fun vibe... for me it has been the diversity of the selections that made the fun.  

no doubt about it, the more diverse the better, the more interesting for sure. Smile

Spinning the thought on... if there isn't enough listed in Proto and Related for a theme poll, what about "Proto, Related, and what you think should be there but isn't"? 



I would prefer to keep the rule of posting only songs not present in PA.

But sometimes we could choose a theme that includes proto prog songs, for example Songs of the Sixties, included those proto prog, or Songs prog related and what you think should be there bu it isn't.

one more round for me.. had one break from the pack on this listen.. and not surprised for I'm rapidly learning his tastes appear to be aligned to my continually evolving tastes.

re: 'Liz Reed.  Yeah it is cool Doc did mention it, it is one of the truly great rock instrumentals ever done and as much as I love the orginal stuido versioin in which Dicky absolutely destroyed it (and Duane).. the live version.. much like my other 2 (2 and 3) alltime favorite bands, the Airplane and the Who.  Were not exactly 'album' bands.. but where the studio versions of songs were mere blueprints for where those 3 band truly excelled.. the 3 best live bands rock ever saw.

also I'd fail if I did't address a salient point about teh Allmans which sadly we didn't get to fully explain in terms on an addtion here to the Archive (if I had only stayed a bit longer haha).

a jam?  No..  no more than Miles Davis and his band were a ..f**king jam band.  Tom Dowd once said it best..  many fusion artists that came after the Allmans played rock in the jazz vernacular..  the Allmans were unique for playing jazz in the rock vernacular.. a very unique way of playing JR-F. Only Steely Dan really comes to mind as a similar artist in how they approached fusing jazz and 'rock' music.  Very easy to miss why is why the SD addition was so important.. so few apparently saw that distinction.. thinking them.. a f**king pop band. I got numerous PM's from people on this forum thanking me for the addition and for making them see the band in a new light.

so should have been it with the Allmans.



Well, big question: which are the best live bands?

You say: Allman Brothers, The Who, The Jefferson Airplane.

I am not familiar to their live records but I am not
Surprise to read these names.

I would add Springsteen and the E Street Band, Dylan with the Band, the Grateful Dead, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds,
Patti Smith, Lou Reed (Rock ans Roll Animal), Pink Floyd,
And here's to you my top10 of live bands.
