I think I found a group nobody's posted about yet.
Not sure what made me think about/research these guys but glad I did.
Powell and Turner featured a unique twin harmony guitar sound (patterned after Beck and Page).
WA opened for Deep Purple and had influences on Uriah Heep, Skynyrd, Halen, Thin Lizzy among others.
Argus peaked at #3 in the UK.
My older brother had the 73 concert dates album. I'm not particularly familiar with there studio catalog though.
This song reminds me of Fairport Convention.

This is what Reefer Madness sounds like.

What made Fairport Convention stand out was the voice of Sandy Denny, who could sing harmony with Robert Plant and more than hold her own.
If Sandy had specialized in blues instead of folk she would have been Europe's version of Janis Joplin. Her voice was just as powerful. Predictably, Sandy died young and recklessly. She didn't OD, but could easily have gone out that way. She had severe alcohol issues as well.

Sandy was great. I was thinking about the guitars though.

When Paul Westerberg is involved there is seldom a bad version.
Some bands sound better sloppier and drunker and The Replacements certainly qualified for that.

Richard Thompson played lead guitar on Fairport Convention the first few albums. He also had a classic album in 1991 called Rumor and Sigh which is very nice.....

Well, some performances are better than others, just like some train wrecks are better than others. And the studio production on the Replacements last album was an utterly clueless abomination.

38 albums under his name from 1972 to 2018, not including compilations, unreleased material, archival concert releases, collaborations, etc.

Their story could absolutely make a movie and it would be ten times better than the one about the scab football team that nicked their monicker.
Some things weren't meant to be. The Mats couldn't keep their roll going long enough to cash in on the early nineties alternative revival. Instead it was their brethren who grew up worshipping them who reaped the benefits. Guitarist Bob Stinson never found his way after being booted from the band and lost his battle with trying to make it in this world in 1995 at the age of thirty. Bands who carried their mantle to considerable commercial success included Soul Asylum, Goo Goo Dolls, Blink 182, Three Doors Down, The Offspring and many many others.

If I played this song before, I'm not apologizing.

Know who else didn't learn to drive until well into middle age?
Ritchie Blackmore.
Even in Rainbow's video game parody/Highway Star update "Death Alley Driver", Blackmore sits in the back as the vehicle he is riding in pursues Joe Lynn Turner's motorcycle.
There's probably another reason Blackmore learned to drive later in life. He is one of the all time legendary beer consumers even by rock and roll standards.
