Hello. Im a professional dancer and I love music.

Funny, I thought the most ridiculous band mentioned was Captain Beefheart, what with the music being musically ridiculous and all...

But I won't hate.
Welcome to the forums.

The fact that people consider Beefhearts music ridiculous only increases the appeal of it for me.

Thank you for not having Muddy Waters in your top ten, it's breathe of fresh air to see Howlin Wolf then Muddy Waters, but then again I would rather see Jimmy Smith or Wes Montgomery then Miles, but hey it's your list - pretty cool list

I've never really listened to Muddy Waters much - I've only heard a song or two. Should probably give his stuff a shot sometime. I do have a Wes Montgomery album, I never really absorbed it though. Probably deserves another listen.

I like reading about Zappa more so then listening to his music. When he got on his soap box and started bitchin about the Music Business, I can't put the book down, it's riveting.

His autobiography is a fantastic book. A lot of the speeches he gave were pretty hilarious/awesome. One of my favorite parts is when he's talking about all the ****ty experiences he had with different orchestras.

Many thanks to all who posted

I saw Captain Beefhearts' name couple times in guitar magazines, so when I saw a greatest hits in the discount section I picked it up. One of my favorite albums,

One way of understanding Wes Montegomery is by dividing his career into sections. He first started out as a guitarist in a big band who strictly playing Charlie Christian. He played for Riverside, Verve, and then A&M. Every label has its own style, it's up to you to decide wether or not what style you like, eg Cool Jazz, or his later Pop style, but either way he is worth getting into.
