Oh yea...and if you noticed the 80's aren't represented. It's because the music sucked.

A name like yours and NO Hoople to choose in the poll?

My favorite tune of all time? Easy...Frank Zappa's "Watermelon in Easter Hay"

It's a poignant, soulful instrumental guitar solo and one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard.

Modesty would prevent that. Us Hooples have our musical reputation but creating the greatest rocks is still an aspiration.
 
I think that Black Magic Woman is up there with the best of them. This live version has Carlos Santana playing with the legendary Peter Green, who wrote it originally when he was with Fleetwood Mac and Michael Shrieve who was the original drummer for Santana. Totally magical.

I love Bonnie Raitt and this is one of her best songs.

I just love how Tusk sounds with the headphones on... Especially "enhanced" by a bit of herb.

Oh no doubt. Rush YYZ and Pink Floyd's "One of These Day's I'm going to Cut You up Into Little Pieces" are good head set tunes too.

Speaken of YYZ look at little Sarah here. Talk about precocious. This was her entry into a talent contest. I just dig the look of complete joy on her face while she's doing this.

My apologies to Ramones fans. The song is "I wanna be Sedated".
