Joe Strummer (vocal and rhythm guitar), Mick Jones (vocal and lead guitar), Paul Simonon (bass guitar), Terry Chimes drums (first album) and Topper Headon drums (some songs on the first album and all remaining albums)
"I Fought the Law" is on the Clash's first album in the United States. It's not on the UK version.
"The Magnificent Seven" is on the 1980 Sandinista! album. "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" and "Rock The Casbah" is on 1982's Combat Rock. That makes them songs to select for another day. Not in this thread.

Joe Elliott (Def Leppard) has played "Rock On" in concerts and has sung just like David Essex. He does him very well.
Alan Price, ex-keyboardist from the Animals, from the Malcolm McDowell film, O, Lucky Man! directed by Lindsay Anderson ...

Yeah cant argue with that.
I'm not much into Fleetwood Mac with Steven Nicks. At least the songs which you can hear her sing. I just cant stand her voice.
Very goat-like. Sounds like she's got a head cold.
AC/DC of course but again other than Back in Black I prefer the Bon Scott era so much more. Johnson is like a pale imitation of Scott, but I guess he fit into the uniform.

Of Dino's opening group I still have original LPs of Bridge of Sighs, Close To The Edge and Bad Company :thumbsup:
Agree with Mr. P on Steely Dan. Wasn't THAT crazy about their first couple of LPs, but starting with "The Royal Scam" they just took off into the stratosphere :bowdown:
Absolutely agree with my man SUPAFLY that Sticky Fingers is The Stones best album :thumbsup:

Rory :bowdown:
Rory was one of my all time favorites early on, although I honestly wasn't that crazy about anything he produced after "Deuce".
I didn't like his addition and featuring of hinky dinky keyboardist Lou Martin thereafter.
Yeah he still wrote a number of fine songs, but his band's "sound" was never the same after "Deuce".
Traffic was SO great. Did they ever NOT make an outstanding album?
(BTW, I attended that '72 concert. I was in L.A. visiting my cousin and off we went. Too young to drive so we hitchhiked to the venue. Awesome.)

The 1970s had some of the best live rock albums. I will hunt down and post a few I find from YouTube.

I've always been a huge Ronnie James Dio fan. When he died it was almost like losing a family member. I was so down it took me some time to again listen to his music without being consumed with sadness. Here is my favorite song Dio did with Rainbow.
Can't argue with that. It's a masterpiece.
