2. The Wizard
3. Behind the Wall of Sleep
4. N.I.B.
5. Evil Woman
6. Sleeping Village
7. Warning
8. Wicked World

What a dark song. And Ozzy's vocals are eerie.
Happy 55.

On this day in 1967 at the Astoria Theatre in London, Jimi Hendrix sets fire to his guitar for the first time. He went to the hospital after the show with minor burns. During the rest of the tour, Hendrix made a habit of playing his guitar with his teeth, and he lights it up a few more times.
Amen.

Jimi Hendrix is synonymous with the guitar, but I don't know anything about his performances. It seems he was a pioneer showman.
The Clash released their debut album on this day in 1977.
Now, I don't like punk. It's too white and libtardy for my tastes. Besides they usually have 3 chords per song.
However, the Clash was influential. Later in their careers they became better musicians too.

I read that today would have been Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham's seventy seventh birthday.
I'm not really a fan of that legendary group, but I like this song.

I guess you would be too young to know them. That is Tony Iommi(guitar) and Geezer Butler(bass) of Black Sabbath.
I cannot say I was ever a fan of their music.

I'm younger than Fash and I know who Black Sabbath are/were. Good music is timeless.
I only liked the Ronnie James Dio era of that band.
