We have lost one of the greatest Blues guitarists who ever existed (RIP Johnny Winter), the last original member of the quintessential punk rock band (Tommy Ramone) and arguably the last great soul men (Bobby Womack). Just last week we lost Glam Rocker Alvin Stardust, and today we lost perhaps one of the most important figures in rock music's history; Jack Bruce. To many, that name may mean nothing, but to me he means a lot, and to plenty of you he did as well.

However i consider this their 2nd best album overall with only Wish You Were Here topping it.  7. Tommy - The Who  The first true Rock Opera. No on ...
