SG in the Stones poll. This one is going to be a massacre Ronnie!
Got to find an album for week 6 of this poll that SW will have a more even match-up against
Undercover?
I'm not really big on singing drummers. I find that their position at the back of the stage and the presence of the huge drum kit in front of them creates an insurmountable distance between them and the crowd. You need a certain "intimacy" (for lack of a better word) with the singer. But anyway, I picked Queen's Roger Taylor.
Both songs in the second poll are truly excellent but I had to go with "That Smell". At the opening of the song, RVZ needs only 11 words to describe Gary Rossington's car accident (it was Rossington, not Allen Collins that time Keno): "Whiskey bottle, brand new car, oak tree you're in my way." You know exactly what happened. RVZ was such a great lyricist, one of the best in all of rock music. Yet he never gets mentioned in any of those "best of" lists.
I did vote in the Beatles poll but I prefer not to say.
