[Dudeqwe]

I hate the message in the lyrics to this song. But I absolutely love the bass work, and the guitar work. His vocals are perfect... just I don't dig the idea of being shot.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Hey Joe

Love that song. For the same reasons you listed, I always favored “The Wind Cries Mary”.

I am thinking it might be fun to have a thread to post links to old favorite songs, where musicianship was prevalent… I am thinking everything from 40’s Big Band, to 70’s “Classic Rock”… there is a ton of 80’s musicianship out there… if it sounds like a drum machine, that isn’t musicianship - that is a computer. I know there are still some amazing musicians out there, I just thought celebrating old school musicians might be cool.

Things like…

Stevie Wonder - I wish

…and..

Deodato Also Sprach Zarathustra

..and..

Leslie Gore - You Don’t Own Me

…and even “newer” stuff like…

Jet - Are You Gonna Be My Girl

One time at band camp...
