Best Bands./cd's

If stuck on island and had to pick the music to listen too the rest of my life these artist would make the cut.


-SRV ( any of his cd's all great.)

- Eric Clapton ( Layla and other assortited love songs) Great from start to finish. A musical master at the peak of creative song writing.

Dave Matthews ( live at luther college) great cd . Love the live music.

-Soda Stereo ( Mtv Unplugged Comfort y musica para volar) Eventhough the words are in spanish, the music is unreal. Great song writers. Can feel what the songs mean without knowing the words. Music is not all about words, and it is more universial than we realize.



once again great thread.
