OTOH, in terms of pure brilliance out of an African-American artist, Prince's Purple Rain stands only a half-step or so below Hendrix, IMO.

I was (and am) not a Michael Jackson fan at all, but Thriller was an amazing LP, not to mention that it was very important and influencial in modern dance; many have compared him to the Gene Kelly of his era. I personally like Hendrix's stuff better, but I'd certainly not insult anyone for choosing Thriller.

There is no denying the greatness of Zen Arcade, I just prefer my Husker Du with more melody and catchy riffs and Warehouse fits that much better than Zen Arcade."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

I am willing to bet that we pick some of the same artists but with different songs - and there are way to many genres to choose from.Originally posted by HellToupee View Post

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."Comment
