The Famous Flames or The JBs?? I'd go with the JBs. James would fine a player if he missed a note!!

I think only true rhythm sections belong to jazz and classical....to think rock has a rhythm section is a bit like saying trailer trash has etiquette.

Maybe it's because I just bought the DVD version of the IRS "REM's Greatest Hits" package, but I think Mike Mills and Bill Berry should be added to the list :nod:
