What Are Your Favourite Bands/Solo Artists?

How could I have missed Bela Fleck?! See. There are just too many for this old brain to remember.

Yep. They were a riding the downtown "circuit" band. I left them behind when I started following the Dead in the early 80's.

 

And last but NOT least-----Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention

 

I listen to this guy the most


I also love this guy

 

Little Feat, Jonathan Edwards, Orleans, Crosby Stills & Nash, Zep, Who, Yes, Tull.

 

Grew up with, Aerosmith, Kiss, Seger, Nugent, Stones, Kansas, Blue Oyster Cult, AC DC, Alice Cooper, Frampton, Three Dog Night, Montrose.

Aerosmith-- the one band that makes my skin crawl. Not sure why, but I think it's mostly their singer.

 

Ok someone make the Pandora FHC station.

 

Don't know how but I forgot Supertramp!

Gary

 

Anyone else here ever heard of Junior Brown? country genre but the guy close's his show with a mean rendition of Hendrix's purple haze! Youtube him!

 

I go in streaks in listening to him but SRV is the most incredible guitarist. So clean....so precise.

 

If you haven't seen it youtube "stevie ray vaughn breaks a string".

The man switches out a guitar without missing a note. Fun to watch people with such amazing talent.

 

Fleetwood Mac, Mountain, James Gang. New groups... Lady Antebellum, Zac Brown and my fav since 2005... Little Big Town.

 

Being I was a teen in the late 70's & have 2 older brothers/2 older sisters my varied musical taste reflects most anything from the 50's to the mid/late 80's.Some of the early-mid 90's stuff is OK,cant stand rap,hip hop or anything rap-metal however,its nauseating IMO

Anything from Elvis,The Beatles,The Stones,The Who to Hendrix,Zeppelin,Pink Floyd to Deep Purple,Black Sabbath,Bob Seger,Van Halen/Hagar (seen both versions couple times each) Rush,Queen,,a chitload of the old blues artists up to ''modern'' day greats like SRV & Johnny Winter (RIP,seen them both once each also) not to mention AC/DC,Guns N Roses & Motorhead (Lemmy RULES!!!)

And also stuff my parents listened to like the great Dean Martin & Frank Sinatra

And I still have a special place in my LP/CD collection for ''old school'' country like Johnny Cash,Willie Nelson & Waylon Jennings.And a little classical/opera like Pavarotti,it really relaxes me after a busy tiring day.

 

Eric Johnson, Al Stewart, Alan Parsons Project.

Gary

 

Stevie Winwood, Mike and the Mechanics, Genesis, Eric Clapton.

 

Yup. Most of you guys are hitting on stuff that I listened to as well. I forgot everything from AC/DC,to Black Sabath to Phil Collins/Genesis, Supertramp. How did I forget The Slow Hand man himself Clapton? I need to buy some more concert music videos or whatever you call them. Fun to watch in the middle of winter when the wind is howling outside and the fire is roaring inside.

 

I've been trying to think of all the concerts I've been to and their locations. But I can't remember them all. C.R.S. Anywho, here are some of them.
