Ms. Moose, not sure why you object to that if some people feel that way. Everyone listens to music differently and takes away different impressions from it. There's no single "right" way to hear his music, or anyone else's for that matter. I don't happen to feel that Greeny is "the father of heavy guitar rock" either but based on "The Green Manalishi" alone, I can see why other people could have that view, and the influence that piece had on heavy guitar rock is easy to hear. I'd guess that it's had far more influence on other musicians than "Albatross" or "Man Of The World", for instance.

I think we should celebrate all of the musical influence that Peter Green's work (and Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwan, Bob Welch, etc.) had on others, even though we may not all appreciate the way some others have interpreted his music.
