Mega road trip from St Louis to Walpole and then 10 round trips down to the Canal requires something to keep me happy and awake...

I am open to anything from LOTS of Phish, LOTS of Dead, Duke Ellington, Roy Orbison, Brian Eno, 80's stuff, ALL CLASSIC ROCK, All Jazz, but not too much rap or punk rock... I like EVERYTHING!!!

I'm looking for your favorite album that you don't think too many people listen to... Please help me out, I'm experiencing dowloaders block :)

Also, anyone ever keep an ipod in one ear while fishing? I never have but I race bikes and spend close to 20 hours a week on one and almost always am listening to music. When my GF asked me if I listened to my Ipod while I fished it was weird that I have never considered it...

Help a brother out!

Anything by Chris Smither (Blues)
Sara Tavares - Balance
Ryan Adams - Cold Roses
Vieux Farka Toure

before i dropped my ipod from 35' on staging, i used to listen to it fishing all the time. it never quite worked again after that fall. Piebald, Built to Spill, and anything country are all good when fishing or just about anything else

Tool makes some damn fine roadtrip music, IMHO. I'm enjoying "parabola" right now. I don't listen to anything when I fish, though. Just the thoughts that spin in my head and hopefully, breaking fish!

flying burrito bros.- flying again.

Tower Of Power, Live and in living color

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUFxj59Fa9o&feature=related

Ahhh, that would be Hulk Hogan and the Wrestling Boot Band...just ask Mikey!

Widespread Panic, any album as long as it's live, Govt Mule, same thing, Moe. warts and all series(makes rides seem really short)

Folk music meets a hit of acid - Holy Modal Rounders 1&2
A cornerstone - Son House Complete 1965 sessions
Just a guy who writes good music - Jack Johnson On and on

Barry Manilow, Unplugged

I'm feeling Neil Young- Decade right now. Cortez the Killer is arguably the finest song I have ever heard.

Live at the Filmore East.

Wait, like, nobody else actually owns this do they??? :devil2:

-spence

spence- that may be the best albumn ever! :rotf2:

Ahhh, that would be Hulk Hogan and the Wrestling Boot Band...just ask Mikey!

I came close to throwing one in the Canal last year, when the guy wearing headphones couldn't hear me yelling "HEY, DON'T CAST. I HAVE A GOOD FISH ON" :wall:

I am open to anything from LOTS of Phish, LOTS of Dead,

There's some sort of GD and Phish relationship to fishing. Not sure if fisherman are prone to listen to them or if fans of those bands like to fish, but it's there.

None of these albums are unknowns by any means but they're just hidden enough to sometimes be overlooked. Given what you listed if you don't already have them you're sure to love them.

GPiB8ZbZrl0

ssLu0X--DtE

I've also been on a Muse kick for months, especially if it's live.

Big in the UK, but mostly unknown/unliked over here. Great for getting up in the early morning to head out fishing or for staying energized in between fishing spots late at night.

Thuid3h_2U0

Never really understood or liked this band until I heard this song, serious musicianship.

Bodysnatchers, great live version
U5xK12hmZ-I

Steve Earle - El Corzon
Wilco - sky blue sky

Kings of Leon - Because of the Times

not sure if you've heard of them or are into them and it's not unknown as its their newest but good stuff

Lately for me it's been bluegrass - anything by Byron Berline, Doc Watson's "Docabilly" and Union Station -

Sorta gets me pumped driving out at night - had some friends in a BG band many moons ago and got them a gig on the Block (or the Island, if you're indigenous to that place) - a few never left. I mean, they're still above ground and all, they just never got back on the ferry. It happens.

Yup, that was more than 30 years ago BYWB - Before You Were Born, in some cases :hs:

Boy, that kind of arithmetic can be scary :eek:

Metallica Load and JOhnny "The Man" Cash........

T Rex - The Slider

"Unchained" ~~Johnny Cash.
5 Grammy's, some of his best songs and vocals, TP and the Heartbreakers are the studio musicians, Fleetwood and B#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&gham play on one cut, a NIN cover, and other "guest" performers.

"You Get What You Play For" ~~REO Speedwagon.
LIVE, back before they went all ballady and sappy and sheet. sum amazing guitar work by Gary Richrath, several tunes to re-amp the night. the only cut that's missing is "Roll with the Changes".

"Pure Schuur" ~~Dianne Schuur.
if you like female jazz, she is this blind chick that can wail with her vocals and plays the keys. classic songs with her new takes. very distinct voice and arrangements that fit her chops.

AND waaaaay toooooo many to mention here,,,,,,,,,,,,

Pete:
Who would have guessed. I have everyone of those albums. Old and in the Way is one of my top 10. Grisman is an absolute genius.

paul- pete can thank his folks for his good music taste, i always look forward to the tunes when going to the edge!

Anything by Ryan Adams And The Cardinals. The kid is an absolute genius.

Jackie Greene- American Myth

Juke Kartel and Panic Channel.
Awesome bands that not many people know of, that i've heard :)

wow!

this is great, really... keep them coming!

Just listened to Zappa- Joe's Garage on my last drive to Cape Sunday am; That CD/album puts a smile on my face. Great music and funny as hell.

Other favorites are Wilco, Anything with Jerry Garcia, Ryan Adams (I like his band Whiskeytown even better), Jayhawks, Gram Parsons, Grant Lee Buffalo, Old 97s.

Massive Attack - Protection

Joe Jackson - Look Sharp....Great album to wake you up.

Jake and the half conched band
the boat drunks
Jim Morris

2112

Garcia/Grisham/Rice- The Pizza Tapes

Clash-London Calling

Neil Youg-Tonight's the night

Time Zero-Feed my gorilla.....:smokin:

I'm going to second that 'Hot Tuna Live at Sweetwaters 2'. The Original Sweetwaters is great also.

You can't go wrong with Little Feat , Sailing Shoes.

Bob Dylans Modern Times.

An album that brings back a lot of memories because I happend to be in New York city in the crowd at the Ritz when a lot of it was recorded is "Urgh, A music War!"

When Klaus Nomi hit the stage in his Kabuki Space man get up with the falsetto voice doing "Total Eclipse" the place went Ape Sh!t!!!!!!!!!!

Commander Codyand His Lost Planet Airmen, "Hot Licks, Cold Steel and Truckers Favorites"

Black Mountain - Black Mountain

Just an add to my previous list
Drive By Truckers
Cowboy Junkies

Also it seems I'm not the only one who thinks Ryan Adams work is top notch!

If I'm driving to or from fishing and need to keep awake, I listen to stuff that probably no one here would recognize.
Rocket From the Crypt (favorite is RIP live)
The Misfits
John Spencer Blues Explosion

If I'm just going for a long drive, I'll listen to just ablout anything from Phish, Allman Bros., The Dead, to The Beastie Boys, Weezer and The Foo Fighters. Skin and Bones by the Foo Fighters is a great road trip album IMO.

Surf Punks - My Beach

"The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust" Saul Williams

A current musician that doesn't get nearly the love he should is Martin Sexton. Amazing singer.

Good Albums are Black Sheep, Seeds, The American, Live at Central Park

Have a safe trip.

Anything by Bruce Springsteen or Bob Seger. Always in my car

Sebadoh (album Bakesale)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRnmcqQgMWQ

It depends on the mood I'm in

Reflecting on my youth would be "Live Dead" recorded in Filmore in 69 or anything like that

If it's a Blue mood it's Buddy Guy live at the Checkerboard Lounge in Chicago in the 60's

Relaxing would be Essential Miles Davis

Grand Funk Railroad

Johnny Cash "Live from Folsom Prison"
Screamin Jay Hawkins "Cow fingers and Mosquito pie"
BB King "The best of BB King"
Squirrel Nut Zippers "Perennial Favorites"
Big Audio Dynamite "This is Big Audio Dynamite"

Local bands are:
The Spurs, The Cranktones, The Coachmen, Lovewhip, Babaloo

Some of my local favorites from back in the 80's:
The New Models, Face to Face, Private Lightening, Ministry (before Al Jurgenson's acid induced music), Adam Ant, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode (Before the bands depression phase). I was a true alternative / punk rock kid, but I love ALL types of music (except rap, which I don't consider music).

Bluegrass- Tales form the Acoustic Planet and Tales form the Acoustic planet Volume 2 The bluegrass sessions. Anything with Tony Rice on guitar
Celtic- Anything by Patrick Street or Lunasa
Blues- Gary Moore - After Hours or anything by Johnny Guitar Watson
Jazz- The word is out, Jaco Pastorius Big Band -Awesome album
Classic Rock- without a doubt - Quadrophenia
Passion Play and Thick as Brick - Tull
Guitar music- Danny Gatton's ,88 Elmira- Scott Hendrson's -Torn Down House
Joe Jackson- Live album Summer in the City
Blown to Smithereens- The best of the Smithereens
and of course any thing Frank did .
No punk. I was going to recommend the Dead Kenndy's
If you need a copy of any of them I can burn you one:kewl:.

ian murray

Soooo many favs above, but most stuff you know of. And maybe I like Al's that acid induced music. Most of this has got to be stuff you know of though. Some no (bravo), most yes (but bravo still, because it is great stuff for the most part). I would have to say (for stuff you don't know or maybe should not know, ha ha) Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band (as well as with the Black Stockings and For Crying Out Loud), Blotto, Bebop Delux, Television, the Toasters, Wesley Willis (maybe you shouldn't, but a fav of Jello Biafra since Prof M mentioned Kenedys), and last but far from least (actually all you RI folks should know) the Amazing Royal Crowns. Don't even get me started on Punk and Jazz man! Because I will be throwing Nick Brignolla and Anti Heros and the likes at ya!!!! Music is life! (except when fishing is life).

Traffic - John Barlycorn Must Die
Delany & Bonnie with Eric Clapton
Tom Rush - No Regrets
Early Emmylou Harris

Leftover salmon Euphroia. Cool bluegrassy jam stuff.

is Bababloo still around? haven't seen them in 7 yrs, just got out of the loop a little on local Boston scene

I'm feeling Neil Young- Decade right now. Cortez the Killer is arguably the finest song I have ever heard.

uh......remind me to read the thread title next time. :smash:

Anything by the band Karate is pretty unknown and really good.

Dave Van Ronk- Sunday Street Album


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aNsl5P_7n0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RghYYmpaaKI&NR=1
Not off the album but performance unmatched

anything from Clutch.
Porno for Pyros-Good Gods Urge.just something about the album has a great being on the water vibe.
..and up until this past Monday the Punk station(channel 29) on Sirius.changed over to 24hrs of AC/DC.nothing wrong with AC/DC but 24/7.:fury:

nice, there are definitely some bands on here I have NEVER heard of as well as some that I know but wouldn't have thought of. That's what i was looking for... good stuff.

Anything Ramones....Gabba Gabba Hey

"I Don't Wanna Be A Pinhead No More"

In my CD player right now are:

Disturbed

3 Days Grace

Chris Daughtry

Evanessence

Green Day

wow so many people on this site listen to solid tunes! I too listen to all kinds of stuff and many times it seems to be weather dependent. Like as soon as it gets nice I have the urge to open windows and crank the Allman Brothers. Right now I have been on a big reggae kick and have been playing a lot of Peter Tosh, Bob Marley and Toots. Always have at least one dead disk, and one phish disk (or 3) in the player.

For a little different bluegrass try Old Crow Medicine Show. I also really like older REM.

For those of you who like live stuff try nugs.net - even some great shows in the "free stash" section.

That all said I NEVER listen to music while actually fishing, just to and from.

Rodney Carrington is pretty funny if your looking for a laugh or two.

That all said I NEVER listen to music while actually fishing, just to and from.

From shore that's definitely the case for me. I just feel like I need to be focused completely on what I'm doing once I'm fishing, but I have never tried listening to music while fishing from shore so I'm sure it could be done.

From the boat though I often have something playing in the background.

:grins:TRUE LOVE. Pat Benatar backed by Roomful of Blues and others. Girl's got some pipes and ain't too hard on the eyeballs plus Roomful is,...well, Roomful:cheers::btu:

Oh- that no one knows?
Stormin Norman and Suzy - Ocean of Love (fun, torchy)
Blind Boys of Alabama - Gospel
Paul Butterfield Blues Band
Al Kooper/Mike Bloomfield Super Sessions
Joe Satriani double CD
Old Laura Nyro with Patti Labelle - you won't be sorry....

This is great - it'll keep me busy for awhile....thanks!

But never when fishing...I need to be at oneness with the all.....

Here are a few more semi unknown I thought of last nite while I listened to them

Sea Level
Les Dudek
Steel Pulse
Nickle Creek
Cyrus Chestnut
Andy Narell
I like anything Bloomfield and Kooper did

I'm beginning to think the professor and I are musical twins separated at birth, except for the lack of "unknown" Jersey stuff (but don't worry, I won't go there my New England bretheren). How's about the Unseen and the Seldom Seen. But be very careful of which is which. Maybe about one half of one percent would listen to both, and the others would be quite upset by one or both of these (hint hint, one is bluegrass and one is punk). Come on come on, more unkowns, more more more..... I love this stuff.

There's a guy from Hanson, Ma named Joe Merrick who makes some really great road trip music. Kinda similar to ABB. His sound ranges from rock to folk to country-ish stuff.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-Ylln_3x48
An old album I break out everyonce in a while check em out on youtube

Seldom Scene are great. Unknown Jersey stuff. I don't get it. Over my head I guess, I am short. Smithereens are from Jersey i think if that is what you were eluding too. Oh well explain . I am kind of slow.

Let see unknown. Umm

Danny Gatton is the greatest unknown guitarist ever as I have said many other times.
Bluegrass - Del McCory is nice. New Grass Revival is great. That is where I first heard Bela Fleck play
Anything Pat Metheny does. No one writes and arranges music like him. Nearly perfection IMO.
Blues - John Bonnamassa is fantastic. Watermellon Slim is cool. Smokin Joe Kubeck

Loud - Scott Henderson, Mattias Eklundh , Andy Timmons, Richie Kotzen , Greg Howe or both of them together, even better http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W0sH2AZBDs&feature=related

Mike Stern, style all his own

Dixie Dregs and anything Steve Morse has done or will ever do. I saw the Dixie Dregs many times long ago.

Everything Larry Carlton has ever done.
Jazz #1 all time fav. Kind of Blue - Miles
Scott Whitfields Jazz Orchestra - great modern big band stuff
Acoustic - I know no one has ever heard of these guys
Andy Mckee and Don Ross
Here is a great site I use to buy stuff from. You can find lots of unknowns here http://www.candyrat.com/default.aspx

That should keep you busy for a while. When you digest those I will get some more. Don't forget to reciprocate.
Jethro Tull is on the menu tonite at work. Where I work I can blast the tunes all nite so I am constantly searching for stuff. I luv to play stuff that I once listen too years ago but got away from. Bring back the memories. Have a good one. Paul

Professor, I'm shocked to see you list Pulse. Nice call
Hendrix Band of Gypsies is a somewhat obscure incredible live show.
If 60's were 90's also a great listen.
Keith Richards first solo effort was a serious beatdown. Main Offender I think.

Steel Pulse is fantastic. Probably my favorite Reggae band of all. I saw them twice. Great show even if you could barely see the stage from the mary jane smoke in the air. True Democracy is a great album.

Taj Mahal - Mo Roots

Lou Reed - Rock and Roll Animal

Early Bowie (i.e. Diamond Dogs, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars)

Couple of Great Soundtracks - "The Commitments" or "The Last Waltz"

Stereophonics:grins:

more recent stuff...
Beck - Modern Guilt
Radiohead - In Rainbows
Scarlett Johansson - Anywhere I Lay My Head ( a Tom Waits cover disc ).....better than I thought it would be...

Just thinkin' of "local" music that would not have made its way up this far, Richie Cole and Alto Madness (at some little pasta joint in Chambersburg on a Tuesday night), Johnnie's Dance Band (clubs in Philly), Joe Zook and Blues Delux (rum joints in Trent'n), and the like. Still uncanny with the additions. Seen Methany as often as possible, saw Victor Wooton compensate for a broken string during the first cord of a base solo with Bela by retuning the remaining three strings as he continued to play the solo without missing a beat (my mind still is still blown), Joe Bonnamassa playing with BB King at the age of 13 in a club in Rochester NY, Dregs so close I was litterally getting pushed on the stage with the band (Disco Dregs?!?!?!), Sea Level.....talk about memories. I will definitely check out the web site. Probably dig thru the vinyl for some more "unkowns". Keep em coming guys! Bob H.

the four horsemen "nobody said it was easy"

kickass rocknroll

Blues Project, the first Poco Album, Super Sessions, Pure Prairie League, Flying Burrito Bros--Sweetheart of the Rodeo

anything PRIMUS

Rocket From the Crypt (favorite is RIP live)
T
Now I have to go download "ditchdigger" great band that i have not heard in years

Steel Pulse is fantastic. Probably my favorite Reggae band of all. I saw them twice. Great show even if you could barely see the stage from the mary jane smoke in the air. True Democracy is a great album.


I saw Steel Pulse (again) this past summer /Prov.OldLupos/ - They STILL sound FANTASTIC!!! True talent is when you hear album quality vocals standing 20 feet from the person singing them.

If you like them, try Morgan Heritage....or another favorite, ASWAD.

Lately, Third Day has been coming out of my speakers - :angel:

Back Uhuru or anything with Michael Rose.
Bunny Wailer sings the Wailers.

I am going to see these guys tommorow night at nokia in times Square, huge in Canada realativly unknown here. From the tropical isle of Newfoundland, Great Big Sea, I recommend the Play cd.

p0SpwEdU5ak

All over the Poco album mentioned - also love Sagebrush Seranade
Old Waylon Jennings
Dar Williams - My Better Self
Gatemouth Brown
Nancy Griffith - the prairie something....

Now I have to go download "ditchdigger" great band that i have not heard in years

Wow, I can't believe someone here knows them. One of the best live bands of their era. Great showmanship and kick ass music. I saw them 8 times and each time was one of the best shows I'd ever seen. It's too bad they broke up, but they are one of the few bands that knew when it was time to hang it up and move on to new projects.

If you like the live clips, they've got some pretty good stuff on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNjuDGwG-iM

fav albums noone knows (well, cool people should know these)

Maggot Brain - Funkadelic
Truth and Soul - Fishbone

For some reason, Van Halen 2 and Women and Children First, hardly unknown, are my favorite cds for driving on my way to fish. I can sing every word and blast them as loud as possible and get my blood goin'. They remind me when I was 16 again

Blues Project, the first Poco Album, Super Sessions, Pure Prairie League, Flying Burrito Bros--Sweetheart of the Rodeo

Duuuude - I saw all those bands at the Fillmore East at one point or another -

Blues Project...help me out here will ya, Paul - let's see, Al Kooper...uh...uh...

Damn - can't remember the other guys, gotta be the early onset Old-timers Disease :hs:

Maybe it will come to me here....:smokin:

Few more semi unknown as there really are no unknowns with all the names we already mentioned. You guys are very thorough.
Johnny A
Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush

E L P - a little Brain salad surgery
Son Seals
A R S

Florida Guitar Army - Live version of Green grass and high tides
Blackfoot
C D B
Spandau ballet:confused::) just seeing if you are paying attention.

Also if i am going on a long trip I need lots of comedy esp. George Carlin

I have totally enjoyed this thread.So many artists I never heard of.Very cool stuff.To add my 2 cents,anything by Porcupine Tree.
While I am at it,I would like to ask all who contributed to this great thread if they think it would be a good idea to create a music forum on this site.So much to write about.Anyone agree?

Don't see why not. If you search you will see we have done this kind of thread several times over the years, but mostly in the Scuppers and mostly during the winter time. I am all for it. We could trade, burn stuff for each other. We could have an artist for the week and then get everyones input on it. Everyone would get an opportunity to suggest an artist. God knows everyone here has got an opinion on most anything so I am sure it would not be boring:yawn:

Some for you guys... my background is mostly jam band-ish but I really listen to everything. I have 100's of hours of Phish and dead legs and can reccommend shows to DL (free and legal) to anyone who asks.

accoustic, laid back, chill singer songwriter stuff

M. Ward- Eerie, great accoustic stuff. Can't go wrong with any of his albums but "Transfiguration of Vincent" and "Transitor Radio" are my two favorites.

Sun Kil Moon- "Ghosts of the Great Highway" really awesome Cd

Some 70's fusion Jazz

Passport- Looking Thru - great upbeat, not too flightly jazz/rock

90's really fun funky Jazz


Karl Denson- Dance lesson #1

Phish related, but not Phish

Trey Anastasio (solo)- Self titled solo album- Rippin guitars, carribean beats, really, really upbeat rockin fun album.

Rock

The New My Morning Jacket album, and most of there other stuff is pretty rockin southern-esque style rock... although the new album is really awesome, it doens't sound much like there other stuff... very diverse...

In the truck usually I play whatever the eels want to hear. They almost always choose something weird by Frank Zappa, but what do you expect? they're freakin' eels in a bucket.

JOHNNY WINTER CAPTURED LIVE

I second JOHNNY WINTER CAPTURED LIVE.this is real rock and roll.I'm not sure how obscure it is but the Stephen Stills Mannassas double album is very good.

I have totally enjoyed this thread.So many artists I never heard of.Very cool stuff.To add my 2 cents,anything by Porcupine Tree.
While I am at it,I would like to ask all who contributed to this great thread if they think it would be a good idea to create a music forum on this site.So much to write about.Anyone agree?

great idea...Ill pm the boss...

great idea...Ill pm the boss...

You8 guys want it - we'll do it. So, y'all want it?

i've been jammin on The Faint. check out Facination and Danse Macrbe

Yes Mr. Boss man. Music calms the savage beast

I like the idea..music is a big topic on here...it would be nice to have it in one place...

anyone who enjoys dead/garcia/grisman/kaukonnen,, etc....


give a listen to the persuasions, great acapella soul/blues covers of many of the standards...

i love these- great to sing a long to while barreling home after an all nighter with the windows open to stay awake!

You8 guys want it - we'll do it. So, y'all want it?

oh the assault on the ears i could recommend :tooth:


p.s. just because its loud and aggressive doesn't mean it cant be deep and meaningful. which i think gets lost on the next gen. could be on mine too cause i think the current music is awful. but then again i think its because no one has anything worth while to say. probably the most worthwhile thing said in the 2000's has come from greenday and that leaves a bad taste in my mouth, considering through out the 90's they were such a "messing around" type band. but then again this is a post for that forum..

You8 guys want it - we'll do it. So, y'all want it?

Absolutely.

another band i think some will enjoy and relatively unknown would be the John Butler Trio.good stuff some what of a jam band with some great musicians.

Only saw them once but Quicksilver Messenger Service was a great live band. Not many familiar songs to people but their most recognized one was this.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EacQEhrbBQ&feature=relatedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eacQEhrbBQ&feature+related

Reverend Horton Heat, if anyone here has seen them live, you know its one of the most under-rated band around......if youre into rockabilly at all.
Also, Legendary Shack Shakers are a kick ass live band, backwoods bluesy trucker stomps, with a singer that plays a mean harp and performs like Iggy Pop's inbred cousin from Kentucky

today was neil young.."after the goldrush".....damn fine album :grins:

today was neil young.."after the goldrush".....damn fine album :grins:

Oh yeah it is.Slingah,saw him perform Greendale at the Mohegan Sun a few years back.One of the best shows I ever saw,and I've seen plenty.Those I remember anyway...........

Oh- that no one knows?
Stormin Norman and Suzy - Ocean of Love (fun, torchy)
Blind Boys of Alabama - Gospel
Paul Butterfield Blues Band
Al Kooper/Mike Bloomfield Super Sessions
Joe Satriani double CD
Old Laura Nyro with Patti Labelle - you won't be sorry....

This is great - it'll keep me busy for awhile....thanks!

But never when fishing...I need to be at oneness with the all.....

That very first Paul Butterfield album is the greatest!

Blues Project...help me out here will ya, Paul - let's see, Al Kooper...uh...uh...

Damn - can't remember the other guys, gotta be the early onset Old-timers Disease

Maybe it will come to me here....

Steve Katz, Danny Kalb on guitar soon replaced by the late, great Mike Bloomfield on guitar in the Super Sessions Band with Kooper.


And let's not forget that Steven Stills sat in on Super Sessions.

Al Kooper had to be one of my favotites. How about a kid Al discovered by the name of Shuggy Otis. Google him. UNBELIEVABLE jammin' blues

I think this is Al Kooper and Mike Bloomfield's best song. I just happen to be was listening to it last nite.

If you like that you have to be a fan of Roy Buchanan. As it was with way too many of the greats they fought many demons and died way before there times. M. Bloomfield heroin and Roy by suicide .

Always a pleasure to kick back to Blind Faith,Derek and the Dominos,Vanilla Fudge and also a video which could have been a great group Buddy Guy,Stephen Stills and Eric Clapton.

Rockhound, just went on Rapsody,checked out Dispatch.Great band,great music,can't wait to dig in deeper.Just one more reason this discussion deserves to be a forum.

Uhmm ....

Eric Clapton - Crossroads II - Live in the 70s - this four-disc compellation has some of the greatest live guitar work this guy has ever done ... I have definitely lost some hearing over that album, too loud but too emotional as well ... gets me so pumped up, the red bull can barely keep up with the music ... discs 1 and 2 are my favorites ... great, great guitar work ...

*Anything reggae
*Anything Allman Brothers
*Of course the Doors Peace Frog ...
*Santana - always enjoy Carlos Santana's guitar work ...
*yes Neil Young - cortez the Killer is also a great tune and listened to it today ...

the list goes on for ever, but those are what are in my car right now ... although sometimes I will have jimmy buffet in there too - from my south florida days ...walk down the docks in any marina and that is all you here playing from the boats ...

... never have the music when I am fishing ... don't want to cut myself off from hearing what's happening on or in the water ... need all my senses going especially when dopped up on Red Bull

Procol Harum is one of the first vinyl I ever bought. I am a hugh Robin Trower fan. IMO one of the best, somewhat unknown, rock guitarists ever. I put him ahead of many of the more well know players of the time. Gary Brooker was also great on piano and had an excellent voice.They had some fairly popular comm. hits but I really liked the song Simple Sister, 1971, with Trower on guitar, his last album with them. A classic tune and guitar sound. Another great album they did was Exotic Birds and Fruit. I highly doubt it but if anyone has this in cd I would love a copy and be very indebted to you:uhuh: This song rocks,

In the first video Trower is not on it. This guy is Dave Ball who replaced him. Not too shabby but not Robin Trower though. Luv the SG.

The real McCoy,with Trower, is below it but no video just studio cut.

Professor :kewl: I was a huge Procol Harum fan.....

There Live album with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra is awesome....great versions of "Conquistador" as well as "A Salty Dog"....this I have on CD

I still have (I Think) Gary Brookers solo album, on vinyl, "No More Fear of Flying" great version of "Say it Ain't So, Joe" on it.

Salty Dog is great. Gary Ball is on that live album I do believe. He is very good. What I am looking for specificly is 2 songs. The Idol and Strong as Samson. Limewire has come up empty.

the bruisers - up in flames

the misfits - walk among us

hank williams III - straight to hell

Walk Among Us is a great album. The Misfits are another great old punk band. The stuff with Danzig is best, but Jerry Only recorded some decent songs when he took over the band.

The Youngbloods, Aztec Two Step, It's A Beautiful Day
Nice for easy listening

King Crimson to bring back my foggy memories

Brian Augers Oblivion Express is pretty unknown

we just put on Sirrus Blues 74 when we're out. We found that a slow day of fishing and tackle problems with Octane 20 don't mix.

An earlier Fleetwood Mac "Mystery to Me". Every song's great!

Anyone remember Batdorf and Rodney?

Duane Allman - An Anthology

It's a 2 record set that came out many moons ago. Unbelievable! You'll love it.

for those melancholic souls out there...low...'volume'....

STILLS, the very best acoustic guitarist of the modern era ~imho~
outside of the Mississippi blues dudes who inspired a young Stephen.
here is one of his GEMS from back in the day, 1976.Tree Top Flyer

STILLS LIVE ~ double LIVE album with an acoustic and electric side
some of the finest acoustic work recorded in an era of heavy metal.
his Crossroads/You Can't Catch Me medley stills gives me goose bumps!!

Primus, Clutch, Slayer, David Bowie ( in his mod and glam days not the 80's stuff, even he doesn't play that crap anymore) Old Rockabilly like Gene Vincent, 70's punk like the Ramones, Stooges, Heartbreakers, Pistols etc, Street punk like Casualties, the clap, bouncing souls, Old Hardcore when it was real hardcore, Old thrash and metal. I could go on but I think you get it.

One thing I can't do is listen to music while fishing, unless I am at the beach with my wife and drinking some frosty ones with lead and skate food marinating in the suds.
