I can't believe the author left out The Doors. "The Doors" , "Strange
Days", "Waiting For The Sun". Never mentioned The Who either. Of course,
there have been some great defining moments offered of the individual song
variety: "Layla"
Derek & The Dominoes; "House Of The Rising Sun", The Animals;
Many others...
Also, Farber as quoted:
> 9) Janis Joplin: Rock's most passionate blues belter. Her "Cheap
> Thrills" offers anything but.
I'm not sure I know what Farber means by saying that..."Her "Cheap Thrills"
offers anything but."
"Cheap Thrills" was "Big Brother And The Holding Company" as I'm sure we
all know but apparantly he forgot or something. Joplin was solo with "I
Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!" in '69. Aside from "Ball & Chain"
("Cheap Thrills"), my personal opinion is that her first solo outing was her
most passionate recording. "Work Me Lord" still gives me chills when I hear
it.
