Notwithstanding the problems my previous posts may be having, I'm going to share my next 5 artists with you with one caveat: I have included John Fogerty's recent music with an old CCR for the sole reason that John Fogerty essentially WAS Creedence Clearewater Revival (as opposed to the solo careers of Paul McCartney or Robert Plant, which while successful, are not the logical extensions of those bands but rather of just one prominent individual within those bands). I hope you are able to take great pleasure in these tunes.
OK, I gave you a few days to digest the first and second lists of 5 of my Top 25 favorite groups ever. Here's another installment, this one featuring three of the best bass players in the world: Steve Harris of Iron Maiden, Geddy Lee of Rush, and John Entwhistle of The Who - and Ross Valory and Dusty Hill are no slouches, either! Enjoy them, you will, or disappointed with you I will be.
(Paul says:) Here are 2 songs each (following the rules of my previous post) by 5 more of my favorite rock artists of all-time. I hope you enjoy these songs! Watch for 3 more similar posts in the near future.
I would also like to take this opportunity to wish my buddy Ross a happy birthday! I don't get to hang out with him as often as I would like, but he's a great friend. I hope you, Gentle Readers, are even half as fortunate as I am.
Here's something that I've thought about doing for a while: posting two songs by my top 25 favorite rock artists (in no particular order) to give you, gentle listener, a flavor for the music that shapes my tastes the most. Where possible, I chose an older song (usually not one of the more popular songs) and a newer song (but there are exceptions such as The Beatles and Led Zeppelin that no longer record new songs).
I hope you enjoy this and the four other lists that I will post in the future!
Ross and Paul have always shared a love for music. Now they want to share that love with you, along with some killer tunes. Please listen and enjoy responsibly.
