    20 years gone today!

    Our best rock guitarist ever in my opinion. Always preferred him to Moore and Bell.

    Saw Taste at the Fillmore East way back when. Not that familiar with them going in (was there to see the Davies Bros. Band), but Rory did indeed make a believer out of me that night.

    I've never been a blues freak, but talent is talent. Yet another one who died too f*****g young.

    Caught him first with Taste (opening for Cream) and later solo; preferred him with Taste but dug his first few solo LPs. Good player.

    I must have some grokking going on that I'm unaware of. I just did a thread on this guy two weeks or so ago.

    Timing is everything(or so Artie Fufkin says) and sometimes it's just odd how things like this work out.

    For me his best stuff is on Live in Europe, Irish Tour and Stage Struck. He's one of that small handful of musicians whose live albums I prefer to the studio albums.
    But of his studio albums I prefer the later ones like Top Priority, Jinx, and Photo Finish, which were heavier and louder and which were less focused on blues and leaned more towards hard rock.

    Very familiar with the name but not sure I've heard anything by him. Guess I should go browse.
