Yardbird graduates. Cool! I just got the Beck, Bogert & Appice CD from Sax this weekend. I haven't listened to that for a good 30 years and I'm really looking forward to it.

more younger people today need to recognize just where rock's roots came from.

The Yardbirds are mind blowing, incredible band. Cream, Blind Faith and the Jeff Beck Group are all great stuff...........but let's face it these guys have been coasting for the last 30 odd years. Dopey blues covers and guest musician status. Kinda sad really.

Don't forget The Stones. They're driving the slow boat to mediocrity. Clapton and Beck are just passengers.

Dude I thoughtly disagree the Stones still make great albums, 'A Bigger Bang' was a great rock n roll, and Jeff Beck is still stretching his creative juices, his last album 'Jeff' was a great album featuring some of his most imaginative playing. Clapton I am afaird has coasted on his rep the last few years but I have alot of respect for the man.

Beck has a rep for being creative, Clapton is known for sticking to the blues.
