Yes, what does that have to do with anything?
Strange collection of artists.

| Had to vote other. A New England Indie group called rane is one of the few groups that's been able to pull me out of my prog/classical/blues/jazz rut. |

| From the list Jimi Hendrix, had he lived longer he would have changed the sound of rock music (just listen to Band of Gypsys). Not on the list Sly Stone. His music touched and influenced many who are now legends (Miles Davis just to name one). |

Outside of prog definitely The Beatles and Led Zeppelin.Those two bands literally changed my perception of music and what music was all about. -------------  |

One of the most; the first time I heard Robin Trower Live cd. His play was just what I wanted and Dewar's voice is heaven.

There a lot of them, first on my mind when this question comes up are always the Kinks and Creedence clearwater revival. Fleetwood mac, Stone roses, Pulp are some other good bands that come to mind right now. My sister always used to play albums from Leonard Cohen when we were young. I got 2 of his albums lately. I don't think you can stray much farther from prog than he does, some of his songs are only accompanied by acoustic guitar and it never gets much more complex than that but what a gift for melody the man has. I wonder if there are others here that like his music. |

I forgot to mention the late Stevie Ray Vaughan, especially the two concerts I have seen (Vredenburg and North Sea Jazz Festival) were so compelling, this man put his entire heart, soul and troubled mind into his music and that is what the blues is about

Probably Hendrix and Lou Reed. Hendrix is a constant amazement to me. Are You Experienced? was the 2nd CD album I ever got and I still have it 10+ years later. Lou Reed on the other hand was helpful in my ever expanding taste in music. When I heard Velvet Underground & Nico I was taken by its innovative and original take on pop/rock music. It was like nothing before and it still sounded incredible 35 years after its release. The later VU albums and Lou's solo career were equally awesome and I was lucky enough to see him live 5 years ago. |

My wife's former boss was the county coroner for Walworth County, Wisconsin and had to oversee the tragedy. Whenever we visit my in-laws in Wisconsin we always have to pass right by Alpine Valley where it happened when travelling to Milwaukee from their house. Very eerie. E -------------

| Stevie was the best white blues player of all time, and one of the top 5 blues guitarists period. For me he even beats out Clapton b/c of his incredible emotion that stood out even in the genre of emotion. Clapton, though a little more skilled and a lot more important, rarely put that kind of soul into his music. |

U2 without a doubt. I saw them on the Elevation tour only months after 9/11. During the song "One" all of the victims' names scrolled slowly up the screen behind the stage. Once the names reached the top of the screen they were then projected throughout the arena. Seeing U2 live is like a religious experience. Nobody can come close to them live. E -------------

I saw U2 back in the early 80's as a support band and you could tell then that they were destined for stardom. Unfortunately after that stardom arrived they lost something for me. Under a Blood Red Sky is still one of my favorite live albums though. ------------- What? |

I'm curious then, just bought Strong persuader today but haven't listened to it yet. I know the title track and that's a pretty good one so i have high hopes. Edit: Just realized this afternoon that Strong persuader is from the Robert Cray band, Steve Ray vaughn is the man who made Texas Flood amongst other albums. Strange mixup, i must be getting old . I don't have this Texas flood album, a friend of mine who used to love blues music used to play it a lot long time ago, so i know this is a good album. I'll look out for it but for now it's Robert Cray band. |

| Although over the last few years been listening more to progressive symphonic black/death metal bands, the first band I can remember listening to was Yes. Although I don't listen to them as much as I used to, occasionally I will stick on Close To The Edge...it still gives me goosebumps. |
