Van Zant’s singing is tender on ‘Searching’ and ‘The Needle And The Spoon’, and the band, whose influences included rock, blues and country, deliver a powerful version of the Jimmy Rodgers classic ‘T For Texas’.

Welcome To The Jungle . Dire Straits Alchemy anybody? that neither. George Clinton is a genius living among us–you people know that, right??? Set List – The Frames Lou Reeds ROCK n ROLL ANIMAL should definitely be at the too of the list. “Live in the City Of Light” – Simple Minds, No Leon Russell Live, No Oasis Familiar to Millions…. Yessongs should have been included; just an oversight, I guess…. No Lou Reed – Rock and Roll Animal, yet Creams mess of a workout on Wheels of fire is included!? Bill Withers Live at Carnegie Hall has been overlooked by virtually everyone!! The J. Geils Band Live !

I think not. Mad Dogs and Englishmen , (Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, and the Shelter People). Would’ve been fun to see Black Oak Arkansas’ s “Raunch and Roll” on the list…. Peter Criss I guess. Lou Reed Rock and Roll Animal! Maximum Darkness – MAN Good list, I would add U2- Wide Awake in America and Bruce Cockburn – Circles in the Stream. Miles Davis “Agharta” or “The Cellar Door Sessions” or “Live At The Fillmore East” or “…..”? Each member was so in sync with one another and RAH is nothing but raw talent.
