Its been haunting my mind to give full credit where it is due. I really love these artists and their work: it just always engages my attention and rewards it in the most satistfying way.
Wang Chung (Go back and re-listen to “To Live and Die in L.A”…..wow. I mean WOW!!!)
Ian LeFeuvre You probably never heard of him..but Give a listen to anything he did with Lynn Miles (especially the CD “Slightly Haunted”. His production and guitar skills inform the songs so much that …its impossible separate them. Fantastic!!!
Ty Tabor : The guitarist/singer/writer in the band KingsX. But his solo work exceeds most of what KingsX has put out (my opinion). The CDs “Balance” and “Rock Garden”..are great. Easily some of the most cohesive Rock in the last 25 years.
Rick Springfield: Yeah I went there. When he’s good ..he’s great. When he sucks….yeah…well you know, the deal. You try to be amazing for 50 years..It isn’t easy. But when he nails it…….it stays nailed (Try the CD “Shock/Denial/Acceptance/Anger”).
DaDa: They only got attention from radio in the early 1990s…but consistant great music. Great writing, recording,and performances….if there is a heaven, they are one of Gods Favorites, I think.
Of Course I LOVE The Beatles. That must be said. That never changes.
