TB Edit 11/12: Props to capedbear for this one.

The Who.  If you're favorite band does something cool, they probably got the idea from The Who.  Pioneers on stage and off stage.  Some would say that all rock cliche's came from this revolutionary band.  Most consider that the true end of this band came with the death of drummer Keith Moon in 1978.  This is also my belief.

Neil Young is our musician of the week.  I’m not a fan of the man’s work personally but I cannot deny that the fan base is huge. Neil Young was and still is an inspiration to many musicians.  He was a Vietnam anti-war protester and a true American poet.

A band so great that they named their first four albums after themselves.  There is not enough that one could say about Led Zepplin, so I'll just say," Ramble On."  The above picture is self made artwork.  If you would like to see some more of this, let me know.

Before Gwen Stefani was showing us outrageous stage performances, before Heart was showing us that girls could rock, there was Janis.  Not only could Janis Joplin rock out, she paved the way for women performance on stage.  Her music was great.  Seeing her live on stage may have been just as inspiring.  With a bottle of Southern Comfort in hand, she rock and rolled her flame out.  Rock on.

That's right, it's The Eagles.  They simply rock.  Cheating women, hangover's, and seeing that things aren't always black and white.  The Eagles had a way of singing about the tough things and life and showing us that bad is truly a point of view. 

I've taken control over the Musician of the Week and I will keep this updated every week.  I wanted to start off with our roots.  So Elvis is the man this week.  Fear not, your favorite rocker will find his way here.  If he was worth his wait in drum sticks that is.  The short paragragh at the end of the post will be my personal opinion and my reason why they are the musician of the week.  If you don't like what I say, that's fine.  Talk about it in a thread.  Call it "JeRkA55 is a JeRk".

Duane Allman went from musical unknown to become one of rock's most revered guitar virtuosos, only to die a legend, all in about 24 months.

The album that drove Jimi Hendrix up the charts, and he became one of the most popular artists of that era.

Personally, I don't think that it's quite as good as some people make it out to be, but that being said, it is a great tribute to Bon Scott, the limo driver-turned-rock star that brought them to the brink of superstardom on this side of the Pacific.

Jimmy Page, one of the greatest songwriters of all time, king of the guitar.

That's right, it's Steve Vai, the fastest guita player alive. 30 notes picked in one second... top that.
