                                                                           J Dawg

In no particular order:-

Old Bands...
   Rush
   Thunder
   Journey
   Free
   Black Sabbath
   JSS
   GUN
   Mott The Hoople/Ian Hunter

New Bands (new to me anyway)
   Joe Bonamassa
   The Union (OK they haven't released their debut album yet but I've heard it and it is superb)
   
Special mention for two tribute bands
   ThundHerStruck
   Illegal Eagles (now Ultimate Eagles)

They may not be the originators of the music they play but they are so good I'd rather watch these guys than the real thing.

Pearl Jam
Muse
Biffy Clyro

My first favourite band was Queen, then Led Zep and Sabbath.
My current favourite band is Opeth, Mrs Slikk thinks I should marry them...

Old,
Zepp
Cream
Moody Blues
King Crimson
Beatles
Dead
Hendrix
Anything with Gilmour
Robben Ford, all of it

New, Joe is tops, by a mile.

I guess you can have a list of favourites but mostly there is always 'someone' be it band or artist you have followed through the eons.

Joe is a relatively new find and more keep coming and will be with me always also but I have followed the music and careers of 4 artists/Band very closely. Thankfully all four are still us with and I hope for many years to come.

Nils Lofgren - he can and has, sat in with the very best and can hold his own no problem. He also has a style and sound that has few, if any, imitators. For me, he is a unique player and until I saw Joe, there was no one to touch him on an acoustic guitar!

Paul Rodgers - I'll brook no argument on this. The finalist rock and Blues vocalist I have ever seen or/and heard.

Robin Trower - There is only one Paul Rodgers and there was only one Jimmy Dewar. When he sang and Robin played, the earth could and did, move. Robin still cuts it today. Would actually love to hear Paul sing with him.

Wishbone Ash -  For me, Andy Powells version of the band has the credibility and still produce tremendous music. They are not a tribute act of themselves. The fire still burns.

When I go I'm taking all their stuff with me in the box. Like the Pharoahs of old I need some quality stuff to take to the next world

Hey, don't forget Midge Ure.

Phil had to call him in when Gary (think it was Gary) dibbed out on the US tour. Somebody correct me if I have got it wrong. Was a long time ago.

Imagine that. Midge Ure subbing for Gary. Gets yer thinkin' dunnit. Wonder if Midge does 'Viennese Walkways' in his sets these days?
