Jimi Hendrix with Little Richard or Isley Brothers is not quite the same.


Jimi was basically a session guitarist when he played with these guys, so I see your point. But it's all fun.

Has anybody mentioned Ted Nugent? He cut his teeth with the Amboy Dukes.

I don't think I've missed someone else listing this one: Linda Ronstadt.

She performed with great vocals with the Stone Poneys on Different Drum

Some posters have definitely stretched the issue, but it's all in fun.


With Grohl, I dont think the strong success needs to be emphasized... that he has... it's the solo part, since he's in a band...

Them
There's a good live version of them (hehe) doing Baby Please Don't Go, floating around on the internet. I don't think he's 15 years old in the video (sure doesn't look it, although I think he probably smoked when he was 4, and was banging down pints of Guinness not much later). Anyway, supposedly he was 15 when he started with Them???

I like Lennon's solo stuff equally or better than McCartneys.

IMHO John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band is the best album any ex Beatle did

Sometimes I actually think it's better than anything The Beatles did

Messina never had much success going solo after Loggins & Messina. Another fact about JM, he also was a founding member of the band Poco.

As well as Stephen Stills and Neil Young.

And another BS alum was Richie Furray (sp) who later formed Poco.

It's a great album, but IMO Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" tops it. There's only three Beatles albums that I'd put above it: Abbey Road, Revolver, Sgt Pepper

Have to add Rubber Soul to that list. And, I'm sorry, but anything that includes Yoko Ono as a contributor just slips a notch.

This, still pisses me off she ruined John's cover of hound dog. What a selfish count.

I don't think she sings on it

There's a transcendentally unreal moment at the Live Peace In Toronto concert where Lennon and Clapton are doing a rock hard version of "Blue Suede Shoes", when suddenly you hear this shrill whine going "EEEEEEYIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!"

Exact same noise she made during Hound Dog. I hope John slapped her around.
