I like Janis Joplin - certainly a member of the 27 club - her legacy consist of a small portfolio. I remember with Big Brother and the Holding Company. Pearl is an outstanding album - but a game changer, I'm not so sure.

Amy Winehouse is another artist I just don't get. I'm probably going to piss a few people off, but other than the notoriety of being a member of the 27 club - she does nothing for me.

And there is Buddy Guy - I don't care what is popular and that is no measure of great music, he is awesome. But there are many Chicago Blues legends. Coco Taylor comes to mind. Then I'm from Chicago and I love the blues.
While I'm on a rant, I hate Paul McCarthy and Wings - nothing creative after the Beatles broke up.


Have any of you heard Joe Bonamassa?

The only thing he did was yesterday.
