Unpopular Music Opinions

I just wish I could play. I'm at the stage in my life where I don't think I could teach myself to play. I'd need to have lessons with someone in front of me putting my fingers in the right place.

here's the thing though, Dale and the Del-Tones just have more good music than Wray in the early periods

I don't know. I think it's pretty close. Sure, Dale had Let's Go Trippin and Hava Nagila among others but Wray gave us Rawhide, Comanche, Jack the Ripper, and Ace of Spades. I'll give Dale points on singing though, or at least his use of singers (King of the Surf Guitar is one of my favorites). Wray sang at least one song and he wasn't very good to say the least.

I think Wray is the better album artist, he also had more range than Dale did, in the 70s he went in a more rootsy direction, his 71 s/t album is really good and worth checking out if you like the Stones's rootsier stuff.

I don't know either of them. I'll take all of your words for it.

Very noble of you to take the bad take burden off of elph.

I can't figure out if he's saying the same is true for Hendrix or if he's saying SRV is an equal to Hendrix, either way I'm mad.

Hendrix and SRV are both unassailable

I think SRV was great at what he did but as truly fantastic of a player as he was I wouldn't put him in the same league as Hendrix, his style of music was so much more conservative and Hendrix was on a whole other level as an innovator and as a songwriter.

Also not a fan of Stevie's singing voice.

Probably just Hendrix though.
