I have no idea which album, but remembering it now has it running through my head over and over again. I knew almost every word to every song on that album after hearing it so many times. Over and over and over again. :0) Of course that is what teenage girls do! My favorite album during the same year though was probably The Who, Who's Next. (Gettin in Tune, Behind blue Eyes, etc)
I agree with your choices of great guitar players, but I really think that Duane Allman and Joe Satriani are the alltime best so far. There are others that are outstanding. Of course I think the greatest bass player is Victor Wooten (he is a friend of mine) and a close 2nd would be Les Claypool.
I remember having a record player when i was very young that had three speeds: 33,45,78. You switched the knob and we used to fool around playing 45s on 33, etc. It used to be that when you bought a single you 'bought the 45.' Now no one would know what that means!

>I get blocked on almost everything here at work, but which albums were those on? There one song on, I think on I or II, that goes from this bluesy sound to a variation of country that I really like too. I'll have to check it out tonight and let you know. Page was probably the best guitarist I have ever heard. I know, theres Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen and Joe Satriani, but I still like Page the most.

>>Best IMHO were Fool in the Rain and Hot Dog.

>>>I was around when these guys were first getting started. I started getting into them again recently and I'm amazed at how good they really were. I still listen in wonderment whenever I drive through a college campus and hear students blaring out Whole Lotta Love or Stairway to Heaven. I can still play most of their best known stuff on guitar, but one of my favorites is Over the Hills and Far Away.
