Mostly. I think Houses of the Holy is right up there with II and IV. And unlike U2, the Stones, Rush, etc. they never put out crappy music. It's probably a good thing when someone dies and the band breaks up, so we don't have to witness the inevitable slow and embarassing slide into mediocrity. |

Rush is better than you guys give the Canucks credit. Lee's voice drives some people mad. I like Sting and the Police are okay. U2 is awful now, so I stopped listening.

I don't expect a band to be as innovative or as interesting thirty years later.

If you can ignore the shoddy camera work, EVH sounds awesome here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdwy1zM03Zg Other than the revolving singers (and I like both Hagar and Roth), the problem with EVH is legacy. Guitar players have tried to imitate him, but they lack the style and song sense. The guitar sounds like its alive in the hands of EVH, but imitators just sound like spazzes, or like they think playing a lot of hammer ons and pull aways is the whole gig. Someone needs to tell me how to embed YouTube...
