I might get beat up for this but....How about Guns and Roses. Let me say...I really like/liked the band but without that lunatic Axle out front would they have been just another good unsigned rock and roll band? His voice was/is distinct and it was THAT voice that made the band unique.

Again, I enjoy their music and will wait for my impending "digital beating" because there are a ton of GnR fans out there in Chordie land

I'd think it would be very flattering to have another artist cover your song. Zurf mentions Willy Nelson...I think he wrote Crazy which was made so very special by Patsy Cline. While I like Willy's version, Patsy's is so special.

I agree with all the above. If your budget allows, get the A/E model. You never know when you may want to plug in. I've never noticed a difference because of a pick up. I'm pretty certian there isn't one.

Dead on Doc. They should be Gods. They are underappreciated

Having formal instruction is worth the investment if you're serious about playing guitar

Sick Doc...very sick. I must admit it was like a train wreck I couldn't look away. I watched the whole damn thing.

Bud,
For me and Kanye it's not the music (although I'm not a fan), it's the "listen to my views on politics" crap. I'm not sure what makes Kanye think what he feels or thinks is somehow pertinent to anyone else. Keep rapping and spending your easily come by dough.

Don't know much about Chris Martin but I'm sure I could grow to dislike him! I'm getting old and cranky!!

I've seen interviews with Henley and you're dead on....He does a lot of charity work for Walden Woods in Massachusetts. I've read a lot in print as well. He is, as you say, the head of the class. I can't believe I forgot to mention him. As far as Steve Perry goes do you have to have a career in order to be pretentious? Great career move going solo and all. They found a look and sound alike and continued on (albeit in mediocrity) and he just disappeared.

Oh boy Doc, negative Pink Floyd comments are going to get you into hot water...I'm going to skip right over that and address the rest (talking negatively about Pink Floyd or the Beatles is akin to heresy in my book!!!!)
These are all IMO:
Oasis - harmless a$%$%holes
Britney - White trash and harmless. more stupid than pretentious
Michael Jackson-way too messed up to be pretentious...there's something seriously wrong with him and being pretentious would be 20 steps up from   
                        where he's at!!
Bono-I couldn't agree more. Shut up and enjoy the ride. I'm sorry you're not that good. I'd love to save the whales (or whatever his cause du jour is)
        but I'm just trying to feed my family. Give all your personal money to the causes you care deeply for then I'll be impressed until then, drop
        the Ghandi routine
Dylan-maybe but what a writer.
Amy Winehouse-too much of a train wreck to be pretentious...probably doesn't know what it means anyhow.

Can we add Sting to that list?????

What brand of pickles? And what gender are the pygmies? I may just be interested...

I agree Doc. Way overrated. "I am the Lizard King I can do anything"; this is a great poet/lyricist of his generation? My 6 year old rhymes with more complexity? A pretty good backing band; tight enough. But even they weren't ground breakers. IMO they got way more than they deserved. And the whole dying young thing is just pathetic. Can't handle reality so turn to booze and heroin, how is that tragic? How is that laudable? Pathos..pure and simple
