Give the people what they want.  From what I've heard of the new Springsteen CD, it sounds like he's back to his old sound, too.

That's a pretty good list, but was Joe Walsh an "auxillary guitarist" as #24 states?

No.

As I remember in 1978/79 when Joe Walsh joined the Eagles he had been a successful musician with The James Gang and as a solo artist.  Joe Walsh's addition to the Eagles line up made them the super group they becaem imho.  I think he was the last piece of the puzzle.
