Lots of funk groups had elements of rock in their music.....Cameo, The Barkays, The Isley Brothers, Parliament, Slave, Rick James, etc. Andy is a four letter word. | |

When will you guys realize ROCK MUSIC came from RHYTHM AND BLUES? So bascially EVERYBODY owes MOST of what we listen to, to Slave/Negro Spiritual/Hymns because that launched Gospel, Blues, Jazz...and then we get all the way to Hip-Hop/Rap becuase of it. But that may be a lil too deep for some of y'all to grasp onto.  Silent shouts, I hope you hear
I'm calling out to your body Baby, you know just what to do Close the door, no interlude | |

That's pretty much what I thought after listening 2 Led Zepplins 1st album. After years of hearing Led Zepplin being 1 of the biggest rock bands of all time I decided 2 get their 1st record and my 1st impression was "this record is so blues based". I knew that Rock N Roll came from the Delta Blues but I didn't expect it 2 be so prominent in Zepplins music. | |

I will do today what you won't, so tomorrow I can do what you can't. | |

Yeah, and I define "steal" and "influenced/borrowed" this way: If you DON'T acknowledge who you got it from or influenced by, then you STOLE it, if you DO acknowledge who you got it from or influenced by, then you BORROWED it. Silent shouts, I hope you hear

Now ....let the games begin ..... i think parliament/funkadelic has the distinction of bein one of those bands who can play it ALL, because george like james found a way 2 put some of the baddest motherfuckers all in one space and thats what makes a great band...bein able to play anything and everything and not bein scared 2 try it.... | |

Okay, now explain that to those of said color who give Lenny shit for doing what he does. We need more black ROCK musicians, imho. Prince is one of the best rock guitarists ever -- it'd be nice if he showed it off some more. If ya got it, flaunt it. | |
