jet....not a jimi thing tonight!
BeatDragon,
I agree with you fully. Sammy was/is/and always will be a bit too commercial for me. However Montrose (and that album in particular) are one of the "turning point" bands and albums that carried us from psychodelic acid rock to good old fashioned "rock" rock. That whole era of simple, yet loud rock is missed by me. Some of my favorite "turning point" songs:
Bad Motor Scooter- Montrose
Nuclear Attack- Greg Lake/Gary Moore
Lights Out- UFO
Martian Cigarettes- Brownsville Station
Boom Boom- Pat Travers
Kick out the Jams- MC5
Edgar Winter- Frankenstein
Nazarath- Razamanaz
Foghat- I just want to make love to you
and the list goes on and on.....
Hard hitting "guitar rock" that made for many a day in the high school parking lot in a 1970 Nova unable to see out the windows because of the smoke cloud......
