People years for sure.

Robin Trower is a little before my time, but he is a brilliant guitarist who never really got the mainstream credit he deserved.

4 shisel!

I listened to Robin Trower often back in the seventies. Always liked the power and the musicality of his work. It's amazing how many good artists there are that you seem to "miss". I recently bought a Jimi Henedrix cover compilation CD that had a very talented young english blues guitarist covering "Little Wing" named Aynsley Lister on it. The guy is quite prolific with many releases, none of which are available in the US. Check this out.

Not before ming that is for sure! I have always enjoyed progressive rock from the 70's as I am a classical music fan as well. My tastes are more of Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Here is an 'LP' you may have not heard of, I'll leave the artist out for sake of seeing if there are other fans on the site, Tales from Topographic Oceans.

Speaking of flying objects... move through a little UFO and am now on some Rush Xanandu. Gonna' be packin' some cigars for a little herfin'.

I like Trower but admittedly not a "huge" fan. Early Yes and Steve Howe? - classic.

UFO - Lights Out in London - kills.

Not true at all - I'd actually had the filtered version on my desktop, but inadvertently deleted it! But when opportunity knocks......

I used to listen to Trower back in the mid 70's, Damn long time ago.

Robin Trower Bridge of Sighs is one of the albums I've used for the past 20 years when trying out potential stereo equipment.

[OLS]

I made it completely through the 70's and 80's and thought that Robin Trower

ALSO sang. Derh. That lesson learned, the guy that sang for his band had

easily one of the top 5 all time rock and roll voices. What is stupid is now we

have the internet to look up everything (and get some of it right), and I still

refer to him as "The guy that used to sing for his band", lol.

"Takers get the honey, givers sing the blues."

If you haven't seen this dude live or on video before, you need to check it out.

Whenever I hear Robin Trower, it only whets my appetite for the real thing...

Stevie Ray Vaughn.

[sje]

AHHHHH fantastic Music, i was introduced to Parlaiment Funkadelic by some american basketballers in the Mid to late 80s and i have been hooked ever since,

(DAT SH.T is Da Boss) as they used to say.

its take it or leave it type of music but ill take it any day (im scaring the 4 kids with it now days) how anyone "in Music" made in through the 70s alive is still a wonder to me.

Try this and let me know your thoughts

(watch the whole lot) Funkadelic invented fusion (hard rock, Gospel, Rythem, Blue and funk in every song)

Sick..... Yet another guitar hero gone.

[PigFish]

You guys had to suck me back into this!!! I have been watching Emerson, Lake and Palmer U-Tube vids from the 70's all morning. My wife thinks that I have cracked!

I just watched 3 guys play Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition... Fantastic!

I remember seeing Trower live several times back in the 70's. Most memorable concert was his Bridge of Sighs tour ('74 or '75, I think). He played the old Memorial Colliseum here in Atlanta... (about 5,000 seats if I remember correctly). Incredible!

Trower was often compared to Hendrix, and probably rightfully so. He was a huge success in his day, but it was not AM radio music. It was not "funkadelic", regardless of the "Too Rolling Stoned" riff. It was the the epitome of the blazing guitar rock that powered my generation of anti-pop reprobates.

Like Trower, Tommy Bolin is another lost to history and under-appreciated for his talent. Check him out if you are not familiar. Bolin joined James Gang sometime after Joe Walsh left. He then went on to play with Deep Purple and made a couple of obscure, but interesting solo albumns.
