Greatest MGs?
I'm a big Steve Cropper fan, myself. Vote for your favorite MG.

Re: Greatest MGs?
From Wikipedia:
[ QUOTE ] The MG42, with small modifications resulted in the MG42/59 and Rheinmetall MG3, which is the primary heavy machine gun of the modern German army (Bundeswehr). A number of other armies around the world have adopted versions of the original, especially the MG3, and it remains in widespread service today. The US Army's M60 uses a modified belt feed mechanism from the MG42 (developed from the 34). The T161 beat the FG-42 derived T52 during tests in the 1950s to become the M60. The T161 used a different gas system and was easier to make than the T52, but they both used a similar belt-feed and basic configuration. [/ QUOTE ]

Re: Greatest MGs?

I really have 0 clue what this thread is about. At all. [/ QUOTE ] Your favorite MG. Booker T and the MG's was an instrumental group in the sixties and seventies that recorded at Stax in Memphis, and also served as the house band. As the house band, they played on hit records by Sam and Dave (Soul Man, Hold On, I'm Comin), Wilson Pickett (In The Midnight Hour), Otis Redding (Try a Little Tenderness), and Albert King, among others. Albert King's famous blues song, "Born Under A Bad Sign" was co-written by Jones. As Booker T and the MG's, they released many hit records of their own, including "Green Onions," "Time is Tight," and "Hip-Hug Her." The group included Steve Cropper (guitar), Donald Duck Dunn (bass), Booker T. Jones (Hammond organ, piano), and Al Jackson, Jr (drums). Lewis Steinberg was the bass player on their first few records, including "Green Onions", before being replaced by Dunn. Jackson died in the mid-seventies. Jones, Dunn and Cropper still work on their own, and have done a couple of extremely rare shows as the MG's in the last ten years. Dunn and Cropper were also part of the original Blues Brothers band from SNL and the movies, and have played for Neil Young on Neil's last few tours. I expect not many on the board are fans, and really just started this as a riff on the "Greatest MCs" poll, just to see what would happen.
