His solo in "Sultans of Swing" long on the music scene. However, his southern, Mississippi is one of the smoothest pieces of music you'll ever hear. Delta blues spurred other great music, such ~s Lynyrd Skynyrd. He gave Southern Rock a voice through his muddy guitar work. From The Allman Brothers Band. Singer/Songwrite~ Roger Waters "" The man who brought us two of the greatest albums ever: The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon. The way in which he puts his Singer/Songwriter: thoughts on paper and the concepts that he comes up with have never Bruce Springsteen. Yes, I'm biased towards Bruce, but I am been paralleled. His amazing use of multiple instruments are perfect for because he's .... amazing. His lyrics are highly accessible and this band. extremely poignant. He portrayed man ?s heroic. and in seach of the ideal (in his' earlier work like Born to Run and Rosa/ita). From Springst~en and the ~-Street Band. Drums: John Bonham. The second member from Led Zeppelin in my band. His drumming puts the emphasis on the song. His drums sound as if they Drums: have their own lyrics and message. Keith ·Moon. Moony the Loony. He was the first maniacal drum­ Carter Beauford. The drummer from the best band out there, The Dave mer eyer. He_once recorded a beat that was so fast, the sound Matthews Band. His jazzy style of playing deserves careful listening. people working on the album asked if a computer had done it. When you examine his drumming you can not help but keep your mouth From The Who. open in amazement. Ginger Baker, alternate.

Lennon and McCartney haVe the most recognizable and '- Roger Daltrey, lead. Daltrey has incredibly stirring vocals. greatest vocal sounds ever. It's the Beatles reunited. Listen to "Baba O'Riley" or "Behind Blue Eyes" and you can fee/ the passion. His voice remains unparalleled in rock and roll. From The Who. Piano: Jim Morrison, back-up. Not as good as Daltrey, but his smooth, Elton John. The great piano-playing rocker. Debate amongst yourselves now it's bass-now it's tenor, eloquent voice was incredible.

The most recognizable bassist ever. To Billy Joel·. Debate amongst yourselves as to who's better, but be the most recognizable person in your band and to be a bassist is say- why waste your time. I'm not taking anything away from Elton ing something. John--he's great. But nothing he ever did came close to "Piano Man" or "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant." Solo. Organ: Rick Wright. The sounds of Pink Floyd must be attributed to this man. Bass Guitar: All the sounds that Roger Waters worked with were on the organ. All those spacey sounds are the credit of this man. John Entwhistle. In a thankless'job, Entwhistle shines. He's the Father of the Modern Bassist. Saxophone: Organ: Leroi Moore. The soft beautiful sound of·Dave Matthew$' saxophone. He takes the essence of the song and puts it in his sax. What a sound. Ray Manzarek. I know. You're asking, "Organ?" Listen to "Light My Fire" if you doubt this man's genius. Without Manzarek, Morrison wouldn't have shined. From The Doors. Saxophone: Clarence Clemmons. Clarence augmented the passion that Bruce's lyrics evoked. He conveyed every emotion--disgruntled youth, idealic and tragic love, and friendship. ., . t , •• ,\ P.lge B-1 The Dume Febru.lry 18, 2000 MONDAY.FEB~ 21 4:05 PM VS IS FRIDAY W.B.lScranton Penguins 1:05 PM Presidenrs Day vs arCh rival Second level tickets can be Her.shBJI Bears purchased gameday at the box SUNDAY, FEB. 20 office for a lincoln and a 5:05 'PM .
