TOP (named after their hero "B.B. KING"... BB is ZZ, and a king is the top, get it?) is OK. I like a few of their songs. (The fact that Jimi Hendrix once supposedly said Billy Gibbons was the next great guitarist shows that Jimi too was overrated and drugged out of his mind most o' da time.)<br /><br />PAUL RODGERS (the Badness of 'Bad Company') ruled this song. The only thing missing was Paul Kossoff on lead guitar.<br /><br />If I weren't so "cool" looking, people would respect my "Rock"-solid intelligence and the rightness of my opinions more than they do.<br />[Ha! Gag me with a Bloody Mary celery stalk.]<br /><br />Anyway, and seriously now... I vote PAUL.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.
