                                                 Free for all

One hard rock American guitarist perhaps undermined and underrated, “Ted Nugent”, born Theodore Anthony Nugent, is definitely a rock ‘n’ roll hero for all rock fans around the world. Initially highlighted as the lead guitarist of the 1963 psychedelic rock band “The Amboy Dukes”, he was so influential that in the years to come the band came to be known as “Ted Nugent & The Amboy Dukes”. Later in 1975, he officially quit Amboy Dukes and pursued a solo career, which made the world realize his guitar prowess. Always known for his guitar virtuosity, energetic live shows, and classic hard rock albums, he is also known as a rare hard rock guitarist who never got into drugs and alcohol, but definitely drove into controversy repeatedly for his political stand and assertions. He is considered a hard core Republican with strong advocacy for gun and hunter rights. However, his songs do rock and his guitar playing is undoubtedly out of the world.

“Badfinger” might not be a familiar name to many rock fans, but it would be unjust to ignore their name in shaping the seventies rock music. Considered as one of the most tragically fated rock band who could always have skyrocketed, but sadly landed flat on the ground, they would always be remembered as one band whose two members had taken their own lives, following the troubles plaguing them. It would be really astonishing that the band which gave such hit singles as “Day after day”, “Baby blue”, “Without you” (Covered later by Harry Nilsson and then Mariah Carey) could not get the name and fame they so truthfully deserved.

Poco might sound odd to many rock fans, but they were the pioneers who paved the pathway for a completely entire genre – Country Rock in the early seventies. Yes, The Eagles were the brand of Country Rock, but it was Poco who began the journey of Country Rock. Founded after the break up of Buffalo Springfield in 1968, Poco comprised of Riche Furay (Vocals and Rhythm guitar), Jim Messina (Lead Guitar and Vocals), Rusty Young (Pedal steel guitar and vocals), Randy Meisner (Bass and Vocals) and George Grantham (Drums and vocals). They were initially named Pogo (Pogo comic strip character) but changed it to Poco after the Pogo creator Walt Kelly threatened to sue over the name. Despite various line up changes, they have been touring till present and have had numerous hit numbers to their credit.
