i dont think tony should be lambasted for not liking janis...i personaly think she's f...ing brilliant, i also think led zep, deep purple, hendrix, doors, are also brilliant, but in my opionion, there not soul, which is what tony said, and i agree with him....however, as i said earlier....check out "one night stand" by janis.... a lovely , lilting mid-tempo offering that in my opinion would (and did in the early 90's) stand up in the crossover rooms / scene, if we have to pidgeon hole music, then i would in my my opinion class janis as "soulful rock"...there you go, set myself up there, anyway.....its saturday night, im not going out... and i dont want the moderators to accuse me of going off topic....so i'm just opening a lovely bottle of vino tinto, rolling a rather fat jamaican woodbine...and just about to drop the needle on my ovo copy of gregory isaacs "extra classic".....can reggae be soulful.......you betcha sweet ass it can,
p.s. note to over zelous moderators.......gregory isaacs is a reggae artist......so, on topic
