After watching AC/DC open the Grammys with Highway to Hell it makes me sort of glad that Bon Scott died young.

One band I have not seen live that I regret...need to see them.

There should be a mandatory retirement age for rock stars.

I am going to get killed/ ignored for this one; but I like the song.

And then there is this, which still makes me a little sad.

So, biggest music "geniuses" in long time, including, branding, music, voice, performance, presence and just pure talent are, IMO:

Elvis, Phil Spector, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, John Lennon and Prince. Not a bad list, but it also proves I am somewhat old; anyone else better now?

There are so many I consider to be musical geniuses...Eddie Van Halen of course, close to my heart, but he revolutionized the electric guitar. Jimmy Page much the same...Pete Townsend as well. Freddie Mercury and Elton John are in there as well. Can't deny Michael Jackson either...quite a few other soul/R&B artists too...Al Green, George Clinton, etc. The omission of Paul McCartney is glaring to me. I think I'd throw Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen in there too. Run DMC and Public Enemy as well.

More current...hard to say, I think Dave Grohl will be looked back as a genius. Rick Rubin has had a massive impact on music too. Jay Z as well. I hate for this generation to not have any true rock bands or guitar heroes to look up to.

I'm a big fan of You Know I'm No Good but always thought Rehab was vastly overrated.

Thom Yorke/Radiohead and Tool is what I consider the best of the current guys and though I don't like it one bit have to give a tip of the hat to Pitbull for just dropping like shit hit after shit hit...

I was going to say Thom Yorke, but I got the album OK Computer and had no idea WTF I was listening to.

That has nothing to do with his genius and a lot with your redneckness.

BOOM!

It took a second listen, but the new Imagine Dragons album is good. Not great like the last one was, but still very good.

The he song order threw me initially which is why I didn't like it as much the first time. I think songs 2-4 are the weakest of the bunch and that put a bad taste in my mouth.

Jodeci has a new album out.

My all time favorite Jodeci joints.

Not really.

Most current music does not appeal much to me, so I find myself seeking out covers more often and there is some good stuff:

Probably my favorite AC/DC song.
