I LOVE Paul Simon! He's my favorite solo artist - just a brilliant lyricist and musician. Favorite Simon and Garfunkel songs: The Boxer April Come She Will Homeward Bound Mrs. Robinson Favorite Paul Simon songs: You Can Call Me Al Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard Graceland That Was Your Mother

The Who!

My favorite from this list is Crossroads. That solo is unbelievable. However, my overall favorite Cream song has got to be SWLABR. I just love the feel of that song.

Neither; the glass is twice as large as it needs to be.

I can't believe The Office got snubbed at the Emmy's this year...I like Modern Family and whatnot, but It should have gotten at least one for writing or something. And Steve Carell getting snubbed upsets me more than anything. He deserved that emmy. He acted his heart out last season. It's especially upsetting considering he hasn't won one as Michael Scott ever, in these past 6 years. Ugh. Stupid award shows.

Basically the same as my top 5... 1. Hemispheres (I must have listened to this album 200+ times...) 2. Grace Under Pressure 3. Caress Of Steel 4. Moving Pictures 5. Power Windows

1. Echoes 2. Time 3. Mother Funnily enough, these are my three favorite David Gilmour guitar solos. ;P

Duane Allman - 'In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed' - Just a searing never-ending masterpiece of fusion-y goodness. It feels like he's telling a story with his guitar. - His slide work in 'Done Somebody Wrong' - his sound and technique floor me every time. David Gilmour - 'Mother' - Gorgeous, short but sweet. Just about the most perfect guitar solo ever. - 'Time' - Gilmour's crowning achievement. - 'Echoes' - So bluesy and full of heartache. Great use of fuzz and delay. Alex Lifeson - 'Kid Gloves' - Playful and fun. It's even one of Lerxst's favs. - 'Hemispheres' (the first solo) - Short and sweet. Just feels right with the atmosphere of the song. - 'Marathon' - The way he negotiates with the rhythm section playing a very tricky 7/8 beat is astonishing. Very tasteful playing. Special mention goes out to Larry Carlton with his solos on Kid Charlemagne - So difficult that even Carlton himself forgot how to play them after a while.

Thanks for the birthday wishes you guys! Really brightened my day.

Duane Allman (Allman Bros) Jimi Hendrix (Duh...) David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) Steve Howe (Yes) Alex Lifeson (Super duh) Pete Townshend (The Who) Eric Clapton (Cream, solo)

I love Van Halen, but I think these guys take the cake as America's Greatest Rock Band: http://israbox.com/uploads/posts/2007-10/1192596375_528582.jpg

The solo in 'Time' gets my vote. Such emotion and expressiveness. I've been chasing that great guitar tone too. All I need is a good delay pedal and I'm there.

Probably my favorite gangster movie, aside from maybe The Godfather, Pt. II. Just a thoroughly well crafted movie. My personal favorite scene is the one in which Henry is about to make a big coke deal and everything goes crazy and falls apart as he gets arrested one last time. Ray Liotta and Lorraine Bracco give some of the best performances i've ever seen in a film. Just a great movie.

Nothing beats Quadrophenia in my opinion. It's not only a musically superior album but it also has some of the greatest rock lyrics i've ever heard by anyone. The story is always going to be relevant to youth; It's about trying to find your way in life without getting lost in all of the trivial BS that plagues adolescence. And it shows that even if you get lost, you can still find hope. This album helped me through high school. It also solidified The Who as my absolute favorite band.

The poll is kinda weird ; Elvis played rockabilly and country while Jimi played Funky psychedelic blues rock. Two completely different genres of music. If we're all talkin' about who revolutionized rock music more, it's all about this cat right here... http://mostpopularunpopular.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/chuckberry3.jpg The poll should be Elvis versus Chuck Berry; now that would be a though call.

People know me as a smart-ish long haired proggy-hippie dude, a semi-talented musician and a "trys-to-be-always-funny-all-the-time" comedian. I love making my friends laugh and be happy and although I am a jobless college student/struggling musician, I am generally very content with my life.

I know i'm in the vast minority here, but i'm voting for Return of the Jedi. It's the grand finale, it sums up everything about Star Wars and puts you on an emotional roller coaster far better than Empire did. I love ESB, but it's such a downer. It may "technically" be the best one, but it's not my favorite. Jedi perfectly combines all of the whimsical feelings and adventure you get from A New Hope and all of the brooding darkness and sense of impending doom from Empire. Also, the score is by far the best out of the six. Just absolutely phenomenal in every way. And yeah, Ewoks are adorable. There, I said it.

Saw The 'Dan at The Greek in LA last night. They played Aja in all of it's glory plus assorted other hits. Alot of deep cuts too. I couldn't have made a better setlist myself. I'll post some vids of it sometime next week. The band was in great shape, the mix was excellent and not too loud. This mix would have made Roger Nichols himself proud! Seriously: These guys kick so much butt live. Wholly satisfied. -Ted-

People constantly mispronounce my last name, 'Limebrook'. Here are some examples of the myriad of other ways i've heard it pronounced or written: "Limebrock" "Limbrook" "Limbrock" "Liembrock" - This one is actually pretty close to our ancestral surname in Germany. Anyway, it's pretty annoying. It's two relatively easy to pronounce words. Lime. Brook. Some people still get it wrong even after I correct them. I've made a promise to myself that if someone gets it right the first time they meet me, they're getting a hug.

I voted for Peart in this poll, but I will say that Copeland is one of the most rhythmically interesting drummers i've ever heard...his hi-hat work on 'Walking On The Moon' feels like it could be the lead instrument in the song. It's so upfront in the mix. Overall, Peart IS the better drummer, but Copeland isn't far behind.
