Too many to mention, but here's a sampling:

Deep Purple (just got the new remastered Made In Japan with the bonus track CD--awesome!)
Rainbow
Yngwie Malmsteen
Steve Morse
Eric Johnson
Robin Trower
ZZ Top
Pink Floyd
Ozzy
Van Halen

A bit of jazz and swing, too.

Also, I'm a huge fan of Old Time Radio and listen to these old shows everyday on MP3 collections I've bought. Just bought a whole bunch of new ones. Some selections:

Phillip Marlowe
Boston Blackie
Adventures by Morse
Fort Laramie (a great Western starring Raymond Burr)
Dragnet (I actually like the old radio shows better than the later TV version--Jack Webb's deadpan is just great!)
Great Gildersleeve (gotta love Harold Peary)
Father Knows Best (the radio version is surprisingly funny--much more so than the TV show)
Rocky Jordan
Rocky Fortune (starring Frank Sinatra, no less--a great show)
Gunsmoke (Bill Conrad as Matt Dillon--superb!!)
The Six Shooter (just ran one season, but Jimmy Stewart is exceptional)
Light's Out (genuinely creepy!!!)
Adventures of Harry Lime (Orson Wells reprising his role in the Third Man--complete with Zither music)

Homebrew...Thanks to my dad...I'm a HUGE fan! I've seen him twice and Dweezil w/ Ahmed once!

From Billy the Mountain to Catholic Girls, I'm there. That man could wail on guitar, and to this day will go down as the most misunderstood artist, and unappreciated guitarist that ever was!

Gettin' all teary eyed thinkin' about him.

Anybody got the PMRC hearing on tape? Man, I loved it when he told Tipper to go to hell and she smiled as he eleqouently put it! She was in WAY over her head!

I am Jim. I think it's a shame what happened too! They were just here in FL, and were told not to use their pyrotechnics. The result was they didn't. Those guys are one of the hardest working bands out there. I've seen them about 12 times from clubs to arenas.

Dave Matthews Band is really a "throwback" type of band and fits nicely into my music collection.

Anybody here into the old country music such as Hank Williams, The Carter Family (with the Great Mother Maybelle Carter) and George Jones?

Have an old wax lp (many of you will not know what that is) of The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band recorded in Nashville at the Grand Old Oprey! Great mix of old line country and the Dirt Band. Dirt Band was originated with Jackson Browne and Leon Russel, but they never played on record with them.

Dave Matthews kicks as$.
Bela Fleck, String cheese incident, widespread panic, Phish, on the modern side. Frank Zappa and the Mothers, and Captain Beefheart on the weird side, and John Prine, Iris Demint, and of course, Johnny Cash for the country. I could go on for days 🙂

By the way, the Leo Kottke concert was terrific. 2hrs standing up, no break, hilarious stories, and incredible 12-string guitar playing.

i'm sure rod stewart is kind to his folks and feeds the neighborhood cats, and walks little old ladies across the street, but that doesn't mean he can sing the songs on that album. it's way past dodo.

i have a cd with oscar moore, johnny miller, and ????.
care to guess who?

Seem to have been blasting a lot of AC/DC and Nelly lately...need to burn some more Godsmack and Disturbed cd's. I've scratched the heck outta 'em.

But, I've a hankering to hear some Skynard and maybe some Scorpions...

Scorpions rock.. Love "winds of change" But lately have been into more singer songwriter music and live versions of groups. Getting back to the basics of what makes me love music so much. Whether it's Jewel or Matchbox 20, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Live, John Mayer, Edwin McCain, Third Day, Pavarotti, or Louis Armstrong.. It's like I saw at Mardi Gras; Music Transcends Life!
