Otherwise, both groups naturally couldn't be farther apart. And (in order to defend the working-class hard rockers who lumped Steppenwolf in with the likes of Speedwagon et. al. even though they <em>don't deserve it</em>) maybe they had a <em>slight</em> point as Speedwagon was originally getting some heavy Funk/MC5 (!) comparisons from the likes of Metal Mike Saunders and Lester Bangs, and Steppenwolf's hard rock scrunch in some ways <em>did</em> influence the rather boring eighties stuffed crotch bands pretty much the same way the Stooges were the spiritual forefathers of a lotta lames eighties/nineties aggregates. They (the Stooges) also influenced a load of exemplary bands, something I dunno Steppenwolf could claim to have done themselves.Christopher Stiglianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107248034597839482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910067.post-80588859860765854952006-10-12T01:02:00.000-04:002006-10-12T01:02:00.000-04:00"Draft Resister" is on "Monster".
Agree that Step..."Draft Resister" is on "Monster". <br />Agree that Steppenwolf was played out by the time of "For Ladies Only" - that album only has two good songs on it, "Ride With Me" and the title track. I never thought of it as sounding like Roxy Music's "Country Life" at all, I always merely considered the album as a whole to be uninspired.<br /><br />Anyone comparing John Kay and co. to Foreigner or REO Speedwagon has no idea of what they're talking about - now if one were to compare Steppenwolf to their fellow Great Lakes area soul influenced hard rockers like Grand Funk Railroad. Seger (in that era) or The James Gang they'd be on firmer ground. - Michael SniderAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910067.post-4624385524529071682006-10-10T22:25:00.000-04:002006-10-10T22:25:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
