CaptJohn, we saw Three Dog Night in August at the New York State Fair - a free show at the Chevy Court. They can still bring it. I saw them once before with Led Zeppelin in Seattle in 1969. Don't remember how good that concert was . . .

Three Dog Night
 

I would like to hear them again also. They are one of my favorites to play their musical arrangements. The current band is not quite as good as the originals (listening on Youtube) without the singer (Cory Wells, I think) and the drummer who had a special way of playing that I never heard before or since. He just added that extra sparkle. If you play the original song and then play their later performances side by side you can tell the difference but that might be a musician's take since we listen to all parts extra closely. I still have the leftover drumsticks he broke while playing (and he broke a lot of them) and the only one he did not break (benefits of working on stage with them). He used to toss the broken pieces out to the audience. They loved it. That was about 1969. Too bad you don't remember how good that concert was, but I understand! :wave:

Can't believe that so many have left out the greatest of all time--Elvis.
Never to be matched in the history of time by anyone else!

Villagegolfer chose Elvis # 1.

Tom, my point was that most bloggers left Elvis ENTIRELY!!! Hard to believe. Congratulations to Villagegolfer for being so astute from a musical standpoint.

I was surprised to see so many heavy metals acts listed. Being most are old folks in TV, I expected more votes for Elvis, Chuck Berry, Dion etc, even Glenn Miller. I was also surprised that The Rollong Stones were not mentioned.
At least no rappers were mentioned.

Tom, couldn't agree with you any more. Although your original post did include groups/singers, it's still amazing that most bloggers have been enamored by groups as opposed to individual singers. Maybe they should have been in split categories to include groups only and individual singers only thus giving bloggers a total of 6 choices. Also, in addition to Elvis not getting much recognition, how about a group like the Platters that seems to have escaped everyone's vote.

I almost mentioned The Platters in my previous reply. I know they (w/ Tony Williams) were a great force in the early days of rock n roll. There was no mention of Motown artist either aside from one Stevie Wonder vote.

Bonny-a big thumbs up for these selections. How tremendous they were!!
