RIP is right. I played his CD's over and over in the 80's and 90's until they wore out.

Fuck me. One of the most underrated guitarists ever. Loved his sound and his artistry.

Beck's relative lack of super stardom success compared with Clapton and Page was always a mystery to me.

He was just as influential a those other Yardbirds for laying the ground work for heavy guitar rock. And Page and Plant on Led Zep I basically plagiarized Beck and Rod Stewart's (hi @RaceBannon @PurpleThrobber ) shit fucko from Truth (released over a 6 months before).

Guess he didn't want is bad enough.

a “rod Stewart or Robert plant” debate is waaaaaay closer than it appears to be

Cool story, bro….

Somehow The Yardbirds got into the movie Blow Up instead of The Who.

If I was forming a hard rock power quartet in 1968 I would have taken Rod over Plant, based on raw talent and songwriting ability.

Consider Cindy's Lament on his debut solo album.
