I never listened to Fleetwood Mac before they released "Rumours". The first piece you posted sounds very "bluesy" or "country" and I never knew that "Black Magic Woman" did not originate with Santana. Thanks for the history lesson. In my opinion, this is Fleetwood Mac at their best: bob, please, I'm begging you... do yourself a favor and see the film "Sound City". Talk about a history lesson. I promise, you won't regret the time spent hunting it down. You owe it to yourself! Thanks I will when I get a chance.

A gal who knows her music...whassup, RKMW? Hey Bad M. And everyone can just call me "RK" ... that's what I'm used to on message boards. I don't claim to know a lot about music, but I know what I like for music. An email pal of mine recently asked me what my top ten favorite songs are ... and I honestly told him, I have no top ten list and never did. So many years of loving music, the old and the new in some genres ... I have favorites of songs, singers, musicians, etc ... but there are too many excellent ones to choose only ten. And each year of the past, more were added to my 'favorites' ... some old favorites would almost be forgotten until the memory is jogged ... glad Peetee brought it up. Sometimes I like just the music, no singing: Excellent find. That's why I got into contemporary jazz, because I often like to listen to just instrumentals. However, in jazz, vocals are often used as an additional instrument. Here's a perfect example from a classic:

Here's a perfect example from a classic: Vocals used like that add an interesting sound ... and are not as distracting as lyrics are sometimes. Or maybe that's just my concept because I am a lyrics freak ... if there are lyrics, I want to be able to hear them well enough to understand any meaning to them ... and sometimes lyrics sung at a live performance force the performer to scream rather than sing ... and some music simply doesn't need lyrics to be meaningful.

Except here's an example of beautiful live music with screaming: I don't know that I agree, since I really dislike screaming lady singer's ... well, not the ladies but their screaming out lyrics or screaming at all. Perhaps I'd need to know more about the song and/or listen to it in a different mood and setting ... I do like some of Floyd's music ... mostly for their lyrics and unusual arrangements. I mean no offense to you, we all like some music and have our own tastes ... I'll listen to it at another time just to see if it grows on me.

Except here's an example of beautiful live music with screaming: How blessed this planet is to have artists like Roger Waters and David Gilmour producing timeless music like that. In many ways, we are fortunate to be witness to such stunning beauty.
