    Denny Doherty: Mamas & Papas: R.I.P.

    Denny and Cass Elliott were formerly together in a folk group called the Mugwumps, which weren;t bad at all. I saw them with Peter, Paul and Mary when I was a little boy wiht my parents. That group also had John Sebastian and Zal Yanovsky. Elliott and Denny went on to the Mama's and the Papas...

    Leon Russell (Official Thread)

    Re: leon russell fans? Shelter People was a great album to be sure. It contained, among other things, an incredible version of George Harrison's Beware of Darkness. Does anyone remember when he chimed in on that song with george at the Concert for Bangledesh? It was a great moment. I still...

    Guitarists?

    Jorma Kaukonen is a great addition. Some of the work he did with Jeff Airpane and Hot Tuna was simnply amazing

    Best Forgotten Bands of the 70's.

    I have the first four Bloodrock albums and I don't think Nitzinger was ever actually a member of the band, just the songwriter and perhaps producer.

    Leon Russell (Official Thread)

    Re: leon russell fans? I think he went in to the "Hank Wilson" era right after that. I actually liked that album a lot thought it was a huge departure. reminds me a little of what Springsteen just did with the Pete Seeger stuff.

    Guitarists?

    I do not see how anyone can really rate some of the great guitar players over one another. So many styles, so much subjectivity. Some of the best guitar players I have ever hear came from more obscure bands like Jan Van Akkerman of Focus. It is hard for me to believe there were very many more...

    Leon Russell (Official Thread)

    Re: leon russell fans? That was an odd story as I recall. Leon and Benno (a pretty solid guitar player) formed a duo called the Asylum Choir and put out one album called Look Inside the Asylum Choir, I believe in 1968 or 1969. It was a pretty mediocre effort in my opinion. Some people really...

    Leon Russell (Official Thread)

    Re: leon russell fans? Man, John Nitzinger, a blast form the past. He wrote a shit load of great songs for Bloodrock, a very tight, underappreciated band. He also wrote from stuff for Alice Cooper and Carl Palmer's PM.

    Spooky Tooth (Official Thread)

    Re: Spooky Tooth Spooky Two and The LAst Puff were great albums. The rest was pretty so-so in my opinion.

    Favorite Stones Album?

    I have to amend my previous post to include "Between the Buttons" which I listen to today. Any album with Miss Amanda Jones has to be a classic.

    Leon Russell (Official Thread)

    Re: leon russell fans? I went through a serious Leon Russell phase and then sort of lost interest. The list of his collaborations reads like the who's who of rock and roll and I respect the hell out of him. I thought he hit his peak with "Carney" and "Leon Live". Never much cared for anything...

    Best solo artist of the 70's

    Re: Who had the best solo career? Phil Collins was pretty huge after Genesis. Rod Stewart form Faces. Van Morrison from Them Paul Simon from Simon and Garfunkle Michael McDonald from the Doobies Peter Frampton Eric Clapton (would have to be the biggest)

    UFO (official thread)

    Re: UFO - Most Underrated Band of the 1970s? My pick for most underrated was Delaney and Bonnie. They were mostly 60's but their hits, Never ending song of love, Only you know and I know and I don't want to discuss it, were all early 70's. They had a big influence on JJ Cale, Eric Claption and...

    worst lead singer of a 70's rock band

    Geddy Lee has a very annoying voice that reminds me of Axel Rose, whom I find to be VERY annoying. Someone mentioned Ian Gillan, specifically with Black Sabbath. It was a bad fit indeed but I love him with Deep Purple. The guy from "Slade" whatever his name was, he was awful. Paul...

    Worst Drummer In A 70s Rock Band

    Re: Worse Drummer No "bad" drummers really come to mind for me, but when Mickey Dolenz actually started to play drums for real for the Monkees, I didn't think he was all that good.

    Denis Payton: Dave Clark Five R.I.P.

    Me too, pooldude. The very first album I ever owned was a Dave Clark Five album and there was a time when I thought of them, the Beatles, the Stones, Herman's Hermits and the Monkees as relative equals. Of course I was about 9 at the time.

    Were The Monkees really a band?

    You want fake? Can you say "Jingle Jangle" or "Sugar Sugar"?

    Trivia

    It has to be Spooky Tooth. And speaking of Spooky Tooth, as folks were breaking off to form their bands, Luther Grosvenor changed his name and formed which band?
