Doc.

One of my all time favorites! My son was wearing his White Light/White Heat t shirt this morning. They had a VU exhibit at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh a few years ago with original equipment and recreations of some of the places they played with Warhol's own VU recordings playing through the whole place. Pretty damn cool.

Pretty good stuff up there, but I'd add:

Bad Religion
The Pixies
Fugazi
Blitzen Trapper
Built to Spill
The Byrds
Neil Young!!
Flying Burrito Bros
Pavement
Frank Zappa
Iggy and the Stooges
Townes Van Zandt
The Kinks
New York Dolls

Hell, to many to even begin listing.

Dave Matthews
Cream
Yardbirds
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young
Neil Young
Van Morrison

You might chaeck out PJ Harvey...very raw.

 

[b.dawgson]

I'd say my favorite overall would have to be Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds (Like the "Live at Radio City" blu-ray). I don't know what it is, but when I listen to that music I can actually feel it, like in my gut or something.

Outside of that,

Dave Matthews Band
Jack Johnson
John Mayer (after "Body is a Wonderland")
String Cheese Incident
Widespread Panic
Days of the New/Tantric
Alice in Chains (esp. the "Unplugged" album)
Tool

Along with several others. Both new and old, these are just the ones I listen to most.

Classic: Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin, John Mayall, Rory Gallagher, Grateful Dead, Edgar Winter, Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd

Metal: Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Metallica

Folk Metal (subgenre): Arkona, Finntroll

Glam: David Bowie, Mott the Hoople, Tubes, Kinks

New Wave: Talking Heads, Slow Children

Industrial: My Life With the Thrill Kill Cult, Ministry, Frontline Assembly

Somewhat newer: Rage Against the Machine, Tool, Social Distortion, Flogging Molly, Faith No More, Garbage

Women with "pipes": Bonnie Raitt, Etta James, Natalie Merchant

Eclectic/Ambient: Cocteau Twins, Enigma, Deep Forest

I also listen to a lot of Texas music that straddles the line between country and rock---James McMurtry, Ray Wyle Hubbard, Hangdogs, Lucero, Charles Sexton, Silos

[BlindedByScience]

Great lists, guys. Most of you nailed many of my favorites. My tastes in music are broad bordering on schitzo...... When I was in the business, I toured with and ran sound for metal bands, but I really enjoy lots of different styles. A few I don't think I saw;

- Buckcherry
- Danko Jones
- Velvet Acid Christ
- Trapt
- The Outfield
- Tears for Fears
- Dropkick Murphys
- Cake
- Icehouse (bonus points if you know who these guys are)
- Angel City
- Emerson, Lake, and Palmer

.....I could keep going but you get the idea...
