Will give the thumbs up for Sabbath.....despise the fucking Doors (they probably would've been good if they'd have dropped that Morrison fucker like they originally wanted to. I mean, c'mon, if you're gonna base your whole persona around Arthur Rimbaud, the first thing you should do is be a talented writer. And if you're gonna base a song around a Celine novel, at least make it good), and Hendrix, whilst one of the most talented musicians ever, also happened to be one of the shittiest songwriters of all time. I mean, the only songs of his that were amazing were the Dylan covers. Everything else sounds like filler/padding around the guitar playing.

rockandrose-there are plenty of Rap artists out there who ARE amazing, but the majority of them don't get the exposure they deserve. Mos Def is a great example of this (seriously, he and Isaac of Modest Mouse are the two best living lyricists working in music), as are Dilated Peoples, Swollen Members, the Roots, Jurrasic 5, Danger Doom, Little Brother, Darkleaf, and of course the offshoots of the Wu-Tang crew (especially GZA), and, as much as I hate to admit it, Eminem (who's pretty much the modern Andy Warhol).
