Easiest fill in the blank, ever.

 

I'll start with two:

 

1) The guitar sound on the opening riff of Edgar Winter Group's "Free Ride". I'm pretty sure that riff is magical in some yet undiscovered way. Simple little riff, but I love how it sounds like a bunch of notes being shaken up in a bag and coming out exactly right.

 

2) Ronnie James Dio's pipes. I just listened to "The Last in Line" for the first time in a decade or so, and was reminded how he could spew 100% pure awesomeness from his pie hole.

 

No, I'm not high and no, I don't need a group hug.

 

Just be positive for approx. 90 seconds and post up any little thing about music that kicks ass for you.

 

Use of the :love: icon not required, but encouraged.

It's magic derives (and I mean that in every sense of the word) from an opening guitar flourish from Hendrix's Remember. At least, I'm pretty sure it does. It's a pretty straight step from that to the Free Ride riff.

 

So, I guess it's Johnny Winter/Rick Derringer appreciation for picking a cool Hendrix phrase and deftly expanding on it to write a cool song.

I don't understand all the love for toilet paper. Doesn't anybody else here have hemorrhoids? Toilet paper is barbaric!!! I much prefer Tucks medicated wipes.

 

Music related, the album Close To The Edge by Yes, and a big ole fattie.
