You get the picture.
Ditto, but I can't believe you left Clapton off your list

That stupid album did the same for ZZ as the stupid album put out in the 80's by REO Speedwagon - gave them a great pension - both were great r'n'r/blues bands before their 80's 'radio' albums.

Have to disagree, I'll put my 20+ year old Canadian made/engineered Energy Pro 22's with their 6" woofers up against pretty much anything.

True but there are a surprising number of kids who DO know what talent is, I am blown away at how into real music some are.
Most any music is alright by me, live is best for sure. Blues, r'n'r, reggae, jazz, folk, bluegrass, anything acoustic. I can take country once a year or so, but I'd rather hear a piston go through my block.
