It's a pity Steamhammer is noy the list. They are definitely my favorite British Blues Boom band. From here, I will go with Black Cat Bones, closely followed by Blodwyn Pig and Groundhogs. ------------- Categories strain, crack and sometimes break, under their burden - step out of the space provided. |

I was very much into the British blues movement so a lot of these bands are my favorites from that period. I guess I got into it when Clapton left The Yardbirds and joined John Mayall's Blues Breakers. My vote goes to the original Jeff Beck Group. The debut, Truth is more blues based since the second album Beck-Ola was full blown hard rock. |

From the list, Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac, Cream and Ten Years After. Jeff Beck was great too, although only his first album was blues, technically-speaking. Also liked Humble Pie and Savoy Brown. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Would've thought The Rolling Stones also worth a mention. |

Pretty much everything on this list is blues rock, not blues proper so i'd say the Stones are a legit addition

Jagger hated the idea of being regarded as a rock band in the early '60s. "We're a blues band, I hope they don''t think we're rock and roll". Unfortunately the Rolling Stones ventured into the avant garde and psychedelia (Satanic Majesties and We Love You), even worked with a choir (You Can't Always Get What You Want) and more extended rock works (Gimme Shelter), theatrics (Midnight Rambler. At this rate they could be a prog rock band.   Fortunately by staying with Blues, R and B, soul, country, reggae (roots music) and all that jazz the band that did not want to be regarded as rock became, well, some say the greatest ever. And managed to avoid any further forays into prog land. Phew, that was close. |

Phew that was close - on was on the edge right to the end- couldn't have said it better myself..... Footnote - the band played and played and play on forever until the end of time (maybe time is on their side?)  ------------- "Everyone is born with genius, but most people only keep it a few minutes" and I need the knits, the double knits! |
