A classic, as any Eric Clapton fan should attest. Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, and Slowhand.....the live shows were legendary. Cream's run was too short, but they are one of the original supergroups. Considered Clapton's finest work, and its certainly way up there.

What can you say about Les Claypool? This cat is so out there, its hard to put into words. He's got way too many projects and solo works for me to keep up with, but Primus is the best. Larry Lalonde and Tim Alexander, combined with Les's mastery of humorous, abstract, yet always rocking tunes... its hard to go wrong.

Satch delivers an aptly titled masterpiece here, with a couple of his usual suspects....Jeff Campitelli and Matt Bissonette. Joe is the man, and he's at his best on albums like this.

The ultimate prog metal power trio....Tommy Vetterli, Ron Royce and Marquis Edelmann. 5 albums of sheer brilliance, for my tastes, there's nobody like Coroner.

The original lineup of Kevin Heybourne, Kevin "Skids" Riddles, and Dave Hogg helped launch the NWOBHM. Vastly underrated, forgotten or flat out unknown in this country, Angel Witch were a force in the late 70's to late 80's. This collection highlights some of the out of print, hard to find tracks.

A reunion of Dave's pre Pink Floyd bandmates, then called Joker's Wild. Very much in the 70's Floyd vein, Rick Wills and Willie Wilson rejoin Dave for one of the strongest solo works in the Floyd family tree.

Pay no attention to Journey's pop fluff past the early 80's. Neal's solo works venture into much deeper, fusion oriented territory. Great drumming by Omar Hakim, keys by Igor Len. Schon handles the rest.
