JethroTull Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Musical diversity that is. How about everybody pick a handful of music that demonstrates your musical diversity. I mean stuff that you REALLY FREAKING LOVE. Don't pick some folk album that your mom gave you and it's collecting dust. Here are mine.... Jethro Tull, Thick as a Brick - My progressive rock addiction. 45 minutes of pure bliss. Paul Simon, Paul Simon - His first solo LP. Mother and Child Reunion, Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard and a bunch of other folk based classics. The Dictators, Bloodbrothers - My punk side. Their 3rd LP released in 1978. They were playing like their lives depended on it. How true. Badfinger, Straight Up - Power pop from the largest selling Apple band after The Beatles.

jimmie ray Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I'm big on Hot Tuna, a mainly 2 man group that's been playing together for close to 50 years. They do all acoustic shows, all electric, or sometimes both combined. They've incorporated fiddle, mandolin, or keyboards over the years - it all works. Best traditional blues cover band I've ever heard, but also dabble in folk, pyschedelic, power blues, bluegrass, and even approached heavy metal. In some ways, similar to the Zep versatility - without the frontman attraction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he was a lineman for the county. He and Pet shared some soup back from a gurglin' cracklin' cauldron in some train yard. She knew a place, so they didn't have to sleep in the subway. But by the time they got to Phoenix, Tanya had stolen Glenn away with some good blow she got Downtown. He became a Rhinestone Cowboy, and ended up....
