Vanilla Fudge

Not even a definition???! Are you kidding me?!? Of course, their history, quite bizarre, didn’t help them, but they were among the very first to blend hard rock and psychedelia. They weren't ashamed at all to do covers, and they were very, very good (theirs!). They get the fifth point for their moral value in terms of esteem and friendship (technical skills and sound are beyond discussion). In 2007, how do they "celebrate" their fortieth anniversary?! By making a cover album of Led Zeppelin; that band which opened for them on the American tour at the end of '68, beginning of '69; there would be the problem that those Led Zeppelin as "support" only did it for a few nights and then the roles reversed. Others would have gotten very angry, but not them—they admired them, became friends, Appice taught the tricks to the young Bonham, and together they had a blast! This is true friendship that in this field is not hard to find, but practically impossible. Oh, I almost forgot, the rhythm section was decent and Stein was sufficient too ahahah!
