00:24the text
00:25message obviously in honor of frank beard yeah uh from zz top which gave me the idea of one of

00:32long time and i'm i'm talking about dating back to the 80s in fact let's hear it figgy let let's
00:37hear
00:37uh what i believe is the greatest kick in in rock and roll history as in kicking into the the
00:45real
00:45stuff are you waiting for it come on now come on it's tough it's tough it's so tough and it's
01:03houston texas like that's that's one of the beating ones i don't think i i should i should know this
01:07but like actually seeing the date 69 huh is when when the band started zz top uh started in 69
01:14they
01:14changed drummers like a few years later i believe to frank beard yeah um i actually and this isn't
01:21like a story with him but i actually saw him at a house party once like frank beard yeah when
01:26i was
01:26in college uh when i was at a&m there was a big house party that we all went to
01:30what were you doing
01:31at a house party at that point what do you think i was doing and somebody said hey that's that's
01:37the
01:37drummer from zz top and uh i never talked to him you know or went over there or whatever but
01:43he was
01:44randomly at a house party at a&m in the 80s all right so he's he's no longer with us
01:48and obviously
01:49we're sad about that what's he doing out there what do you think he was doing you're not you know
01:55you know you know wait play that job one more time cocaine is a hell of a drug you know
02:00the answers to
02:01all these questions reggie i want you doing there i want you to say he was doing there i want
02:06you to
02:06say what lopez was doing there what i was doing there and which by the way one of the reasons
02:11i
02:11never because i'm not bashful as you may have picked up on uh i never went over there you know
02:17tried to cut it up with it because he was surrounded by young women like surrounded sounds like a great
02:22it sounds like a great place to position yourself to see if you could get uh if you could get
02:27a little
02:27bit of runoff you know i'm saying like lopez ain't one to push the hose away try to get to
02:32him
02:33you're saying lopez would have become one of the one of the holes in that moment where he's hanging
02:37off i gotta talk to frank i gotta talk to frank no he was just on the other side of
02:43the room uh
02:44what's a hill that you're gonna die on oh wow we are coming in with some heat great ones some
02:49really
02:49bad ones too from the 956 somebody said prince is a great musician that made terrible music what are
02:55we doing are you kidding me how do you justify that take wait a minute i will say i feel
03:00like that's a
03:00little backwards ain't yes it is no because i don't think that there's a single musician that
03:05would tell you that prince was an awful musician i want to know what you thought of prince's that
03:09was bad music exactly i am that's what i'm saying he made great music i am fascinated some people
03:15might honestly some i had some people question is him as an artist because he you know he he wasn't
03:22like up there like as far as hits with michael jackson yeah but he played every musician he played
03:28everything and played it well yes right i always come back to eric clapton he was in doing an
03:33interview when somebody asked clapton what is it what does it feel like to be the greatest guitarist
03:37of all time and he said i don't know ask prince like the respect of your peers matters so damn
03:43much
03:43and that is a great great musician a great uh i guess guitarist saying great answer not even close
03:49why are you asking me for and we're getting them hot and heavy i want to get y'all's real
03:53quick
03:53uh i'll go through my other two and then some of these awesome ones that we're getting my other two
03:57is uh 99 red balloons is maybe the greatest or i i use this word a lot but the epitome
04:04of 80s music
04:05ever like you know woman singer very much you know look the 80s part uh had uh you know the
04:1480s sound
04:15it was a political song that people didn't know was political uh you know about nuclear bombs and all
04:20that other stuff so 99 red balloons people will argue me on that people will argue with me on
04:25christina aguilera the greatest vocalist female vocalist yeah you're not getting that one over
04:30you're not getting that one over four octaves and i will argue for hours on that and freddie mercury
04:35uh the greatest rock and roll voice oh so you don't agree with the person that texted in and said
04:40freddie mercury is highly overrated no no he's got the greatest rock and roll voice i think i think
04:44he got a i don't want to say underrated i hate saying underrated but no he got a strong voice
04:50what about you guys uh this is one that i i have borrowed but i heard it and i was
04:55like i believe
04:55this so strongly that now this is mine there's oftentimes conversations about the greatest american
05:01rock band and i think that it ends up so narrow that people miss the obvious answer and it's the
05:05eisley brothers well they are a rock band a lot of people don't realize that i mean they they're both
05:10they're everything the eisley brothers span i want to say is it six decades maybe seven decades
05:17from the 50s yeah seven decades and i want to say four or five genres what other america because
05:24i understand when we start talking about american rock bands a lot of the bands that we start talking
05:27about relatively short time periods small eagles is the only one you can argue with right relatively
05:32small eagles are there with the eisley brothers and i'm like as american you know i think the greatest
05:38rock band is the rolling stones but that's that's a right that's a british group uh but as an american
05:42it's eagles and eisley brothers you know who was one of the early guitarists for you probably know
05:46this for the eisley brothers it was um ah shoot jimmy hendrix yep yep jimmy hendrix i feel like i
05:53might have known that but i definitely did remember that in this moment yeah i definitely did not about
05:57you figgy yeah so i guess i guess it's more of a hot take i i feel like bruce springsteen
06:03should not
06:04be in anybody's top 10 i am with you artist i am with you like i just don't get it
06:08with him man
06:09i ain't gonna sit here and say he's the worst ever but he's not damn near close but he's not
06:14near the top yeah nah yeah i just don't i just don't get the hype with it and this one
06:18this ain't
06:19even rock or anything like this i'm about to play it right now but i feel like one i feel
06:25like this is
06:26probably a top 10 song for me uh desiree you gotta be oh yes top 10 man top 10 of
06:36all time
06:37this song if this song don't make you feel good you a serial killer that's right
06:42but that also perfectly fits the question of the day that won't come to a lot of people's minds
06:48but it is a hill you can die on yeah it is like i like this one from a listener
06:52the 713
06:53uh said genesis was better with peter gabriel than phil collins that's a good take that's a really strong
06:58take and i don't agree with this other one that it made me think of because i've had the argument
07:03multiple times over the years uh a lot of people say sammy hagar the van halen was better with sammy
07:09hagar than david lee roth they had more number one hits yeah that that's my favorite kind of take my
07:15favorite kind of sports take or just general take in general uh i said general twice is the one where
07:19you go huh that's interesting and now we can have a whole conversation like you could just walk into
07:23the bar drop this on the table and go let's go let's go i still like van halen with david
07:29lee roth
07:30but the fact remains they had more hits with sammy hagar which is bizarre somebody say y'all hating
07:37on bruce look up on youtube bruce springsteen's college kid i was like i when you as soon as you
07:43said to see him live as soon as you said it i was like oh we're gonna get that but
07:47then also every
07:48sports writer from 1970 something to uh 2012 is is very upset with you right yeah up in the up
07:56in the
07:56east coast i'm sure they pissed off too really truly really truly uh somebody said how many hits
08:02did prince write for other artists yeah that's a good point to also bring up willie nelson not only
08:07had his own catalog of multiple hits yes a lot of songs how do you feel about this for just
08:13like a
08:14general music take what's that and this is i recognize i'm getting a little dicey because i'm
08:18not in my particular wheelhouse or less what people would consider my wheelhouse i think that the best
08:23country songs are written by women that's you got to think about that well but the greatest country
08:29songs by and large are uh he stopped loving her today and uh george straight samarillo by morning
08:36those are two men i think that just on on you're talking about like in general on the general i
08:42think
08:42that the better writers in country and this has also been really bastardized with modern country where
08:47there this is the thing that really sucked about the pat mcgafee he did the thing where he started
08:51just listing things where it's just like truck tractor whiskey we're not writing anymore man but
09:00you know who wrote a lot of songs for patsy klein one of the greatest uh ever female was willie
09:04nelson
09:04yeah yeah willie nelson wrote a lot of her songs although loretta lynn you know all those old school
09:10yeah you got a point i think it'd be a good argument yeah there's a lot of those there's a
09:14lot of music
09:15takes in here man uh somebody said and sometimes some of these people are just like saying names like
09:20someone put wayland jennings on here and i was like yeah wayland jennings doesn't get enough of
09:23his credit in the outlaw country portion of this but i don't know what the take is you can't just
09:27say well maybe it's i'm willing to die on the wayland jennings i've had i've had a an argument
09:33around wayland jennings a musical art because you know how much all three of us just love music like
09:37crazy the best honky tonk music is wayland jennings like huh you're in a bar with a sawdust floor and
09:47there's beer flowing and you know not not like greatest country song but honky tonk music it's
09:52either wayland jennings or willie nelson like you know the type of music yeah yeah yeah when i
09:58understand that because i was like sometimes i get caught up in the actual you know delineation
10:02of this is the category but yeah i think if i'm if i'm just chilling in a bar yeah i
10:07think i would
10:08yeah put on some wayland jennings i'm with it yeah yeah 100 percent yeah um one song i hate in
10:13the bar
10:13it's a classic rock song and i would look at you crazy if you play this on the on the
10:18touch
10:18tunes the eagles hotel california it's just been overplayed it's just been overplayed like who is
10:25who is going up to the touch tune let me play hotel california and what are you trying to play
10:30like
10:30that's one of those where if you are on your phone and you're in your itunes or whatever whatever
10:35your streaming is and you just want to play that for yourself because man i ain't heard it in a
10:40little bit cool yeah don't subject all of us don't make everybody listen to it man it's one
10:45of those it's just it's been too much we've done it a lot yeah we've done it a lot yeah
10:48we've done
10:48it a lot uh yeah there's a lot of them coming in and i don't know if we're gonna be
10:51able to get to
10:52all of them but you know what i'll try and like sprinkle these in like yeah 713 dolly wrote so
10:56many
10:56songs for people that's a great one uh a lot of musical genres honestly dolly might just be the
11:00best person in music period but i will see your wayland jennings and raise you hank williams jr yes that's
11:05a
11:05honky tonk yeah that that's the discussion you know one of those guys all right um freddie fender
11:11yes absolutely yeah there's a lot of these somebody said kiss is the greatest american band i just can't
11:16get there with you really and truly can't get there with you uh especially because like it was it i
11:21have
11:21a hard time with a band whose like whole thing is kind of a bit and i recognize there's not
11:27really a
11:28way for me to soft shoot that one i'm sorry bit i caught it was and it was a good
11:32bit at that yeah but
