<<<Thanks for shaking my memory. To get sort of back
on topic -- who had harder-boiled lyrics: Pink Floyd or Deep
Purple?>>>
Deep Purple = Hardboiled (Especially the Steve Morse penned
"Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming") Pink Floyd = Noir
How can you get more noir than Syd Barrett... Well, Syd's not
really screwed. He makes more money off of five albums (one
of which he wasn't even on, just dropped by the studio to
incoherently say hello) and is now the most overpaid gardener
in Cambridge, England. So I guess he wasn't really screwed,
just dazed and confused for about 20 years. Waters, otoh,
does nothing but sing about getting screwed.
Ian Gillan and David Coverdale's lyrics are all about sex,
booze, and drugs. Very hardboiled.
Tommy Bolin, what a loss.
