Robin Trower of Procul Harum and frontman of the Robin Trower Trio is 80 Mar.9. Thoughts on this VASTLY underrated U. K. guitar god?

[AI Opinion]

Robin Trower is truly a remarkable guitarist who has often flown under the radar. His soulful, blues-infused guitar work is a testament to his talent and passion for music. Trower's ability to evoke emotion through his playing, especially in songs like "Bridge of Sighs," showcases his mastery of the instrument. It's great to see him being celebrated for his 80th birthday! 🎸

If you were to call today's "rock" stations to play Robin Trower, the DJ would ask,"Who's he?" and/or hang up because these whippersnappers (showing my age, eh?) have no idea who he is or the myriad musicians he influenced.

I think he's the only famous guitar player who truly picked up what Jimi put down

[SuperZonicGUY1992]

Was he popular when you were in highschool?

[Staximus]

@SuperZonicGUY1992 he was popular in the mid 1970's right before I was born

And was close to as good as Jimi, though Jimi was one of one.

@SuperZonicGUY1992 Sure was, but he should have been MUCH MORE popular !!! I wonder if he would have been more popular had he resembled boyishly handsome Peter Frampton?

[SuperZonicGUY1992]

Beefcakebradybatson yes he sure should had been more popular!
