Let it ride, Townspeople, any way you see fit, but especially feel free to kick out the Burly Rock!

I would just like to say that Google Books has an almost complete collection of Billboard Magazine from 1942-2008, which is great way of wasting time, erm, doing valuable historial research.

Also, I suppose that this is probably more well suited for the RTH Confessional Booth but I have been occasionally stuffing the ballot box for the polls because I can vote from both my work and home computers. And no I'm not going to stop doing it. Whew, I feel better now.

It looks like BTO is only half burly. The skinny satin outfitted guitarist and the spangly shirted drummer could be from any 70s rock act.
Only Turner's Look is appropriately burly -- a logger's leisure suit barely containing his bulk to the point that there's full cleavage on display. Bachman has the right body type and the full beard, but dressing like a Canadian's dream vision of a Moroccan pimp is really pushing the envelope.

cdm, ballot box stuffing is an accepted part of our culture. I also post from two computers and do likewise. Sometimes I split my vote.
BigSteve, your "vision" comment is very funny!

Bass players are supposed to look like Maynard Ferguson?

I'm more than a little surprised that Eddie Vedder isn't an option in the Tool poll. I can think of no one more deserving the title.
Although Pearl Jam's recent shilling for Target makes me like him more. Not sure why exactly.

I have a new favorite rock feud.

On an unrelated note, does anyone know who plays drums on Stevie Wonder's "Sugar." Holy crap, that's some hot beats!

I know we have some Sam Phillips fans here in the hall whom I figure would be interested in this:
"Singer-songwriter Sam Phillips has launched a year-long program to sell her music as high-quality MP3s (at 320kbps). At her website, Phillips christened her Oct 1 program, The Long Play.
"Long Play is a year of music. While digging for inspiration and 'journal-ing' the process of writing and recording, I will release 5 EP's and a full-length album through samphillips.com. There is no record company involved - this is just between us.
"As a subscriber, every two months you will automatically receive a high-quality digital EP made up of new songs, new versions of my old songs, seasonal songs, or previously unreleased songs. (The first EP is entitled 'Hypnotists in Paris'; a collaboration between myself and The Section Quartet.)
"At the end of the Long Play, next fall, you will receive a full-length digital album. This is the most music I've ever released in a one-year period. Essays, video, photos and audio logs will make the Long Play part music, book, magazine, laboratory, radio program and curiosity collection.
"Will opening up some of the creative process affect the way I write and record the music? Will it affect how you hear it? I have no idea, and there's only one way to find out... please join me for the Long Play."
Subscription is US$52 a year which will get you five digital EPs, one full-length album, a bonus track with each EP and the album, plus additional tracks throughout the year. Long Play may include live concert footage, rehearsal tapes, demos, behind-the-scenes footage and interviews, etc. The first EP, "Hypnotists In Paris" has already been sent to subscribers. Some fans are holding out for lossless FLAC format."
