I have a walnut SG. Gibson made it in 1979, and the model name is just "The SG." I love that guitar more than anything else I own. My older brother bought it from some random guy in 1983, played it for a few years, then sold it to me in 1987 when he got distracted by a red Jackson Randy Rhoads flying V. I've been playing the SG ever since, nearly every day. There's nothing fancy about it, it's not collectible or worth a lot, but for me it plays better than any other guitar I've ever played. It's got a fast, thin neck and low action, just a dream to play. It's sitting on a stand right behind me and if I get a chance tonight, I'll play it until it's time to go to sleep.

Wow, I actually remember this. I'll admit, I didn't like it at the time, haha. I preferred (and still do) their thrash stuff on Ignorance and Surf Nicaragua. I remember wondering what they thought they were doing with this song. Having fun, I guess!

I don't care if it's cheating, I'm just glad to see one of my all-time favorite musicians mentioned here.

"That's not a song, that's a list!"

"Bigger Than Kiss," Teenage Bottlerocket

"...and the Beatles said all you need is love..." King's X, "We were born to be loved"

"I think I'd like to play guitar and be a Beatle and be so swell..." Jellyfish, "All I want is everything"

I've seen nearly every artist I ever wanted to see, although for various reasons I've never been able to catch Judas Priest or Ozzy Osbourne live. Those are the ones I could have seen if things had worked out. I even had a ticket for an Ozzy show in the late 80s but I couldn't get to the show for some forgotten reason.

The ones that were impossible for me to have seen, but would have most wanted to see, would be The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix. I was born a couple of years after the Beatles broke up and after Jimi died.

Some folks say he's still there in the 70s to this day...

Of all the bands I've seen live, the only one I remember doing a full album all the way through was Queensryche doing Operation Mindcrime. That was pretty cool.

I don't think they ever did the entire album all the way through. Would have been cool if they had, though.

Don't do that to me! I still remember hearing about them when they were a local band playing at Long Wong's bar in Tempe, AZ and I was still to young to get into their shows.

Flood would be great, but I'd really love to see TMBG do Apollo 18 live in its entirety- including all parts of Fingertips!

That would have been great to see. Anchor Drops was my first taste of UM back in '06.

As someone who saw Dream Theater 2 or 3 times on the original Images & Words tour, that would have been amazing. That was one of my favorite albums at the time. They played a few songs from it, but also their stuff from When Dream & Day Unite.

Bad Brains

Igorrr, "Very Noise"

I have no idea if it's on Spotify

You're welcome! I used to live in Arizona (I'm in East Tennessee now), and when my wife and I visited Bisbee we learned about the deportation. Apparently, when the posse rounded up the striking mine workers, they were held on the baseball field at Warren Ballpark until they were railroaded out of the state. I need to go back and read about where they all went after they were dumped off in rural New Mexico. I wonder how many went back to Arizona, and how many said "forget it" and went somewhere else.

And speaking of mining and labor wars, Bisbee is famous for the 1917 Bisbee Deportation, where the Phelps Dodge mining company, in collusion with the Cochise County (AZ) sheriff, sent a posse to round up 1,300 striking mine workers, stick them on rail cars, and send them to a tiny, remote area in New Mexico called Tres Hermanas. Bisbee is also famous for the Warren Ballpark, one of the oldest surviving baseball stadiums in the country.

"Countdown" by Rush

And I'll nominate Divided Sky, since you already nominated YEM, and AlfaNovember nominated Antelope. All 3 are great choices.

Yeah, you don't hear it much on the radio anymore. I still have it on a Christmas compilation CD I burned about 20 years ago.

One that I used to hear a lot on rock radio in the 80s but not anymore was Billy Squier, "Christmas is a Time to Say I Love You."

I've seen them pull this off live, with no mistakes! It was a Christmas miracle.

You're welcome! I've never been a huge Blues Traveler fan, but I like them and I saw them live once. They put on a great show. I never knew about this Christmas song they did until one year when I was working at a radio station. One of the DJs put this song on the air and I was in the other room, working. I wasn't really paying much attention, and then all of a sudden I was like, "Wait a minute- that sounds like Divided Sky! What the heck is this?" Turns out it was released on a Christmas compilation album "A Very Special Christmas 3," which benefitted the Special Olympics.

"Christmas," by Blues Traveler. The music is based, in part, on the song "Divided Sky" by Phish.
