RIP Ken Chinn
Edmonton-Vancouver punk legend Ken Chinn (aka - Chi-Pig) passed away at the age of 57. Front man of the legendary Canadian punk band SNFU. I have a few of their records and will spin a couple tonight. One of the first openly-gay members of the punk rock scene, Chi-Pig was an electrifying front man. Saw them many times…

R.I.P. Robbie Shakespeare
I was very saddened to hear that the great bass player Robbie Shakespeare as died. I saw Robbie and Sly backing Black Uhuru in August, 1982. What an amazing show and what an amazing bass player. R.I.P. Robbie Shakespeare. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/dec/08/robbie-shakespeare-sly-and-robbie-dies

Explore his music when you have time. You likely heard stuff inspired by or worked on by him.

Any Terry Reid fans here?
Couldn't find a previous thread, so here goes... Anybody here into Terry Reid? I find his albums to be a bit of a mixed bag. There is great stuff on all of them and though also some duds, the songs that shine, shine brightly. Apt metaphor for this great number: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEkoxVUl2RA

Ten most essential basic rock and roll albums game.
The object of the game: Name what you believe are ten of the most essential rock and roll albums. The rules: Your ten albums (no more, no less) must be records that were released as a whole unique album, not a collection, anthology, or "best of". These albums should be as close to straight up rock and roll albums as…

Was wondering if there are any Jack Johnson fans on this board? I am looking for a pre-sale password for the St. augustine show.

Iron Maiden
I've been listening to a lot of Maiden lately and it seems as if PJ is heavilly influenced by them. IMO...They are not like other "metal" bands, if a metal band at all. They have some very "punky" riffs. They seem totally unique considering the time they were out there. Are any of the guys in the band huge Maiden fans?

A speculative notion about rock and roll and race.
While listening to the fantastic all-black 1970's rock band Death today, I got to thinking about rock and roll and race. The (somewhat obvious) thought occurred to me that rock and roll was created by black musicians. The music formed early on as an offspring of blues and R&B. The founding fathers of rock include Little…
