The Ramones are all dead ...

RIP Tommy

Yep - just read that. They can rock Heaven now.

Well C.J. Is still around

I think

(But he doesn't really count)

The four originals are all gone.

Bought these this weekend...obscure enough for you, JohnnyD? ;)

Got 20 out of 22. One I should've got but the other I didn't know.

21/22 for me. A couple were guesses, but educated ones!

RIP Johnny Winter

I haven't got any Greatest Show on Earth and only the first Black Widow album.

This Cressida track pretty much sums up Prog.

Oh no. When?

Does that mean there's only one Texan Albino Rock Musician alive now?

Were Cressida on Vertigo? And I guess Black Widow were CBS/Columbia.

Cressida were indeed on Vertigo.

I didn't much like the first Black Widow album.

I don't remember hearing either of them but Vertigo albums had a certain artistic style.

I had a strange track by Black Widow called Mary Clarke on the Rockbuster double album sampler.

Just found Mary Clarke on You Tube. Brings back memories.

Also got The Way to Power by Black Widow on another compilation album called In Good Company.

Quite a good one considering it cost about £1 new in 1970.

Chicago - Someday
Spirit - Dark Eyed Woman
It's a Beautiful Day - White Bird
Black Widow - The Way to Power
Mike Bloomfield & Al Kooper - Albert Shuffle
Santana - Evil Ways
Argent - Freefall
Johnny Winter - Hustled Down in Texas
The Byrds - Ballad of Easy Rider
Gun - Head in the Clouds
Trees - Nothing Special

That's one of the only 2 Johnny Winter tracks I've got.

I Googled it...the cover looks very yellow submarine-ish.

As far as I'm aware it was exclusive to Boots (the Chemist).

Happy birthday Carlos Santana. 67 today.
