Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 I think Chicago has pretty much every other Illinois act beat. Influence, popularity, importance, quality, innovation, sales, talent, prolificness, longetivity, legacy, lyricism, progginess, poppiness, tightness, greatness live and in the studio, versatility, melodic and harmonic sophistication and effectiveness, catchiness... The only thing they’re really missing are creative album titles (unless you think Hot Streets is very creative). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ND town he was born in was German-speaking. His Sunday night show was appointment viewing back in the day. At my grandma's house. Good times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldRUSHfan Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Joe is from Montclair NJ too. http://youtu.be/TgKDnDkALqs Actually, Joe was born in Witchita, Kansas and according to his biography, formed his first successful band, The James Gang at Kent State University in OHIO. i've always LOVED Joe Walsh! His riff on Rocky Mountain Way has touched me in a way that can't be untouched! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 ^^^ Correct. He went to high school in Monclair. I know the high school has a Joe Walsh scholarship as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenJennings Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) I think Oklahoma gets Garth Books. Even if you're not a country guy, it's hard to deny the cross genre appeal and musical influence Garth has had.
