P.S.

* The Woodbox Gang is a regional Midwest band that has been spreading it's wings lately. Great original music/lyrics and a great live show.

yes, Talus I am very much into Blues, not sure about anyone else. Buddy Guy, Muddy, Howlin Wolf, RJ, Leadbelly, Mississippi John Hurt, of course all the Kings, Willie Dixon. Basically anyone who led zeppelin stole from. I love the blues. I think I mentioned in my original post how incredibly eclectic my tastes are, I often get music overload cause there is not enough time to listen to all of the different things I want to here at any one setting.

It is like Frank Zappa said, "Without Music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid".

[smoke]

i had no idea I had the best taste in music on the board. I will add that to my resume.

[Talus]

Here's a few-seems that no one here is into the blues?

The Band
Dylan
Big Bill Broonzy
Howlin' Wolf
Jimmy Reed
Muddy Waters
James Cotton
Willie Dixon
Little Walter
Woody Guthrie
Neil Young
Little Feat
John Hiatt

[bigdaddy]

Springsteen - Wild & The Innocent (and every other album)
Little Feat - Feet's Don't Fail Me Now
Grateful Dead - as much live stuff as I can get my hands on
The Who - Who's Next
Wilco - YHF

and so much more, but I limited myself to 5.

I've got to admit that I've been curious what you people are into as well.

Just saw her last night in Cincy at the Great High Mountain tour and got to meet the great Dr Ralph Stanley for the second time. It was a good show, it started at 8 sharp and ran until 11:15 with about a 20 break. However no one did a whole set, AK& Union Station only played 4or 5 together and Ralph only did 5 songs( the last 2 had everyone on the stage for Angel Band and Amazing Grace).

But it was free, so how can you go wrong

I forgot to add Alison Kraus as well, not only is she just a beautiful woman, but a fantastic singer and musician as well. She has some incredible music. One of my faves for sure!!

[Mort]

Forgot a few in my first post

Loudon Wainwright - one of my all time favs
Barenaked Ladies - funny and talented
Allison Krauss (& Union Station) - her voice is fantastic

Funny how different taste we all have. Also great to see that there are others who like some of my favourite artists/albums. Great topic!

[Hank Snow]

I am way eclectic. Jay is awesome, along with him I would consider these to be my absolute favorites:

Wilco, The Clash, Zeppelin, Bowie, Prince, Lucinda Williams, Jayhawks, Johnny Cash, Chili Peppers, ABBA, U2, Alice in Chains, Radiohead, Talking Heads, the good Rolling Stones (1967-1974), The Beatles, Lyle Lovett, Robert Earl Keen, Pink Floyd, Neil Young, The Ramones, Thin Lizzy, Devo, lots of '60s and 70s funk and soul, Willie, Merle, Waylon, Hank Snow, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Frank Zappa, older REM, early Van Halen, Replacements, Dandy Warhols, old ELO. I am probably forgetting someone, but these are the best. There are hundreds more that I really dig.

That is why I like to play music on shuffle, always something different right around the corner.
