Mood:  not sure

Any time I do a tab of a particular artist or band for the first time, I generally add a link on the site to that act's official website. If they don't have an official website, I'll pick out the site with the best information on that band and link to that. The question is what to do when a band does have an official website, but it might not be the site that best represents them.

That's been my dilemma recently in regard to The Guess Who. Back at the beginning of September I added a Guess Who tab to the site for the first time. So I went looking for their official site to link up to it. But when I found it, I discovered the site in no way reflected the Guess Who that people are familiar with, with all of its history, or a band discography, photos through the years. Nothing like that.

The current line-up, of course, bears little resemblance to the classic line-up(s) of the band. It's not that they're not decent musicians (there are one or two original members, I think, and in researching, I discovered something I didn't know...the band's current singer/guitarist is Carl Dixon, formerly of Coney Hatch), it's just that without at least one of either Bachman or (particularly) Cummings, people don't relate to it as The Guess Who. And when the band doesn't even put a discography on their website, it's almost like they don't want you to even think about those former line-ups of the band.

So overall, if I'm tabbing classic older Guess Who hits like "Runnin' Back To Saskatoon", the band's official site doesn't seem like the best site to link to, because it doesn't even acknowledge that past. I still haven't decided what site I will link to, though.
