Just read on Daily News site that Gail Collins, who wrote lyrics for the band, did alot of their cover art, was girlfriend to & then killed bassist Felix Pappalardi, has died in Mexico at age 72.

After she was released from prison, she moved to Mexico & basically lived as a semi-recluse.

She also was a lyricist for Cream.

Minor correction on last post: Ms. Collins was married to Mr. Pappalardi when she killed him.

Blood of the Sun, Never in my Life, Dreams of Milk and Honey, those are some bad ass songs

RRHOF is a joke. I'd never go there. Johnny Winter is not in the RRHOF - Tupac is. Mountain is not in the RRHOF - Janet Jackson is. The Guess Who are not in the RRHOF - Greenday is. I'd rather go to a Hard Rock Cafe. At least I could get a drink!

Yes. A very unique driving rock sound. Mississippi Queen alone makes them worthy. Leslie West made them a pioneer in the world of hard driving rock.

It's impossible for me to believe that Mountain is not in the HOF!

Leslie was a grandmaster of rock guitar Felix was his equal on bass and had an extraordinary voice. Corky was a dynamic drummer and he and Steve were perfect for the band . Their catalogue was extensive and live shows unparalleled….Live Nantucket Sleighride !? Nothing like it !

Vote the in !

There's some exceptional axe men past & present that truly embody the best of rock, but have yet to be recognized & celebrated by the R.R.H.O.F.. Leslie and Mountain are at the TOP of the list. They were always great (and loud !!) live, and Leslie was a real down to earth guy. "Mississippi Queen" is a monster legendary song and a favorite of mine along w/ "Waiting To Take You Away", "Never In My Life", "Long Red", and covers of "Dear Prudence" & " Satisfaction". So come on R.R.H.O.F. before you lose any more relevancy you still got, and get with the program.
Thanks, ( R.I.P. Jeff Beck....ROCK ON)
