Whoa! To each his own, obviously, but there was always something about that mouth full of gravel sounding voice and lyric messages of Joplin that appealed to me. Then again, I'm a product of the 60s, so there's that.

What act or acts am I glad I never saw? How about Herman's Hermits and Gary Lewis and the Playboys. You never heard of them? Well, you didn't miss a thing, although they produced hit songs in their time.
