David Bowie - Legacy
Waiting to hear the word, "guilty."
Good and just result. Now maybe more of our cities won't burn and businesses won't be attacked (except in Portland, of course)

Now maybe people of color will start being policed the same way that white people are.

I think THAT'S the point to draw from this momentous event.

Given that it is his 80th birthday (see my Happy Birthday! post), Dylan all day long.
Jimi Hendrix "Up from the Skies", damn he was so great. Sorry boys, just like there'll never be a greater jazz sax player than Coltrane, there'll never be a greater rock guitar player than Hendrix. As pointed out in the astute "When Did Rock Die?" thread, it's a closed road. Listen to "Ain't No Telling", those Iron Maidens and Black Sabbaths of the world just can't touch Jimi. He's too deep.
Tom Morello > Hendrix

I'm sure there's a small percentage of people who agree with you. However, ask someone younger than us who Tom Morello is and they'll probably give you a blank stare. I don't think there's a question that a great many more people of all ages know who Jimi Hendrix is. Does that mean he's better? No, he is just more important in the history of electric guitar for a reason.
So are you contradicting your statement that there will never be a greater rock player? You seem to be changing your statement to more “important” or more well-known.

Then Play On by Fleetwood Mac. RIP Peter Green and Danny Kirwan
Nick Cave "The Boatman's Call". This is one of the greatest albums of all time. His way with words, his cynicism, humor, bluntness, whatever... I am a Dylan fanatic and have deep admiration for Leonard Cohen, but this Nick Cave album just blows me away.

Not sure about greatest of all time but it is superb. Part of what made it great was how different it was compared to his music prior to that. Kicking heroin and breaking up with PJ Harvey clearly influenced the music.

I understand that identifying yourself as an insider is one of the two surest indicators that you’re an outsider.
