'Next Episode's a guitar isn't it? Should add that to my Top 5.
I don't know why I know this shit, but it's a sample of a track by none other than David McCallum, a British actor probably best known for either being Steel from 'Sapphire & Steel' or um, not Napoleon Solo, the other one from 'Man from UNKLE'. He did a couple of albums in the 60s, pretty sure they're all produced by David Axelrod.
Actually when I say "sample", chances are Dre paid whatever studio to re-create the sound of the sample faithfully. There are whole production teams in America that do that. You cut your payments in half recording your own version compared to sampling.
OK, this may be my nerdiest post ever.
Hey ey ey...

lena, you've mentioned some greats, it's funny I nearly included rebel rebel and cinammon girl on my own top five... both very cool big riffs. and the iggy and stooges stuff bang on.
I'm kinda suprised no one here really mentions the stones - tho i know it's not hip to like them - but for chrissakes there are scores of great big stones riffs. What About:
Bitch
Monkey Man

Keef solo w/ Bootsy Collins, "Big Enough" from "Talk is Cheap".c1988.
evening GG, yes Miss you, its sorta joke with Christianity. [another thread]. Yup great bass and drum line, clearly Messers Wyman and Watts better efforts. Its probably stretching the boundries to call them "underrated", considering the units the Stones have shifted, but they dont get much "muso press".
And you gotta admire any man whose inlaws as tangeled as Bill's.Now gliss from 12th fret E...
Sorry,guess I missed the memo on that one...I might go so far as to call them underrated,on account of the fact that all you seem to hear of them is reporters slandering Mick Jagger's womanizing, "dirty old man" status and his general persona, however I suppose some of this media could be justified,does anyone remember the hideous rendition of "Dancing in the Street" by Bowie+Jagger?! I almost cried the day I saw that video,how could my 2 true loves do that to me?!
Yup, an absolute "Barry Crocker". Top 5 Bowie.
1/ Carlos Alomar and Fame.
2/ David sanborn and Willie Weeks on "Young Americans".
3/ Stevie Ray on "lets dance".
4/ Terry Boluder on "John im only Dancing".
5/ Nile Rodgers, full stop.
What about his album with Diamanda Galas in the 90s? Was funny to hear him playing bouzouki... go microtones..
I'd love to have another listen to 'Comin Atcha', the album he did with Madeline Bell (she who originally sang 'Melting Pot' with her band Blue Mink). Sadly the only copy I've seen is with a friend in NZ.
Get on top? Prince is an interesting artist, some absolute scholck, and moments of jaw-dropping brilliance. 5 fav songs
1/ Ballad of Dorothy Parker
2/ Joy in Repetition
3/ Controversy.
4/ Tamborine.
5/ We can Funk.
'Ballad of Dorothy Parker'! Definitely my fave Prince track, and if I could make my brain think in top 5s more it might be in my fave songs ever. Amazing mood - love the chords, the gurgly keys, the drums, the piles of vocal parts, the lyrics.
I'm pretty enamoured with the vast majority of 'Sign O The Times' (the album). It's amazing how consistent it is given it's so diverse stylistically... and given that it's Prince. :)
I like "Cream" and I'm standing by it,so catchy and brimming with innuendos! Even the guitar sounds dodgy!My favourite line:"you got the horn so why don't you blow it",how metaphorical..
