Message: [QUOTE="Ewekon, post: 2112092, member: 785"] Mick Jagger invented the live lead man and to the present no one has surpassed him in his hey day ..... and I would have to put Freddie Mercury as 1A. Both literally had the audience in the palms of their hands. But Jagger invented the cock sure yet androgynous lead. Friggin' Adam Levine paid tribute. (Anyone else see the Stones and Maroon 5 at The Rent?). There are too many to list and until 5 years ago I was still checking out the latest and newest bands (then my kids grew up and moved out of the area, damn them. Lost my concert buds.) But I've never seen Jagger and Freddie matched. Seen Pearl jam bunches of times and Eddie is amazing as well. A real highlight for me was Pearl Jam opening for The Stones in the Oakland Coliseum in '97. So going a little off topic I will turn to 1971 which to me is a watershed year for album oriented rock and for top 40. Check out these 1971 releases: Sticky Fingers Who's Next Led Zeppelin IV Every Picture Tells A Story (I agree, when Rod was good he was great ..... plus the Jeff Beck collaborations) Master of Reality And OK.....Tapestry Top 40 drew from every genre. To this day I bet a lot of us know the words to these songs and the younguns might know them as well: Joy to the World Maggie May It's Too Late Just My Imagination Me and Bobbly McGee What's Going On? Brown Sugar Ain't No Sunshine Proud Mary (Ike and Tina version) Timeless stuff. [/QUOTE]
