Maggot Brain is not a solo. It's an instrumental with a guitar as the lead, like a jazz song with a sax as the lead instrument. That said, most people don't know or care about the difference and even some musicians will argue the point. Either way, Maggot Brain is fantastic.

Reply to comment by twinkledandy in The Easybeats - Friday On My Mind [Pop] (1966) by Fit-Mousse-7747

With this formation of a new band, came a lesson well earned by the Easybeats. Following the success of Fruday on My Mind and their first 3 albums, they relocated to London to seek fame and fortune.

The record company execs brought pressure for a album, of a more "sophisticated" song writing style. They from here they achieved only mediocre success. In 1969 they broke up.

Stevie Wright became a solo artist. His magnum opus is Evie, a 3-part epic rock romance. His life became a tragedy, blighted by a spiral into Heroin addiction and terrible rehabilitation experiences.

Harry Vanda and George Young became a songwriting team with huge success and an influence in the Australian market. They also wrote Grace Jones' Walking in the rain.

And the band formed by Angus and Malcom Young? They learned a valuable lesson. If something is working for you, do not change it. This band famously never changed their sound; they became undisputably the biggest hard rock band for the past 5 decades.

Reply to Tell me what lyrics really resonate with you! Could be your current situation or lyrics that changed your life. by No-Wasabi4755

Huge NIN fan here, but my fave lyrics for a while now have been - Only:

I'm becoming less defined as days go by

Fading away

And well you might say

I'm losing focus

Kinda drifting into the abstract in terms of how I see myself

Sometimes I think I can see right through myself

Sometimes I think I can see right through myself

Sometimes I can see right through myself

Less concerned about fitting into the world

Your world that is

'Cause it doesn't really matter anymore

(No it doesn't really matter anymore)

No it doesn't really matter anymore

None of this really matters anymore

I was a Firehose fan back in the day and first heard Maggot Brain on Watt’s album. I knew of Mascis but never knew this was even a cover….for like 20 years. I love the song .

Speaking of covers: don’t sleep on Built To Spill’s cover of Young’s Cortez the Killer. Definitely in my personal top 5

Reply to horny songs that go hard? by siynnn

Not sure if go hard as in just plain good or like something to get down to, but I would have to say Sexting by Bo Burnham because it has some crazy good production or I guess Milk Man by Aphex Twin. I don't really listen to anything horny I guess

That’s an impossible question to answer. Off the top of my head I would say Bodhisattva by Steely Dan (guitarist was Denny Dias) Ask me again in five minutes and I’ll have a different answer.
