I know I've already introduced you to them, Jeff, but here's some Blitzen Trapper for the masses.


Here's a group formed in 2009 some folks here might like. Them Crooked Vultures.


Enjoy!

Them Crooked Cultures is awesome, one of the few "supergroups" I actually like.

Sorry you have to put the Sinatra away Boss.

Ya it's times like this I feel out of place and wish we had a few more posters in their 40's and 50's around.

After all music from the late 50's,60's and early 70's shaped todays music. Most of the bands from the 80's and 90's said that as well.

I love Sinatra, for what it's worth. And Count Basey and Glenn Miller, and Louie Armstrong, and Ella Fitzgerald, and Cab Calloway, etc. Great stuff.

And let's not forget that Verdi and others in his time were the first real pioneers of "popular" music. Talk about laying groundwork.

Elvis, Buddy Holly, the Beatles, Chuck Berry, that sort of stuff?

They were good but I like themid to late 60's and early 70's the most. I followed it through the 80's and 90's too.

For me, if I like the music, I like it regardless of era. As a result, I don't really associate anything with when it came out. It makes it tough for me to date stuff and determine how I rank different periods in music.

Well said. Music is music and it doesn't matter from era it's from. Either you like it or you don't and the music we listen to now was influenced by performers generations ago and the same will be said years from now.

Musical influences are such an interesting thing to analyze. It's always cool to guess who influences a band, and then checking yourself against who they list as influences.

I haven't been posting lately, but I remember some of you liking metal bands. I pretty good instrumental metal band I recently got into is Animals as Leaders.

Another, fairly modern, metal/hardcore band I love is The Number Twelve Looks Like You. I've posted them in another thread before. They're very technical.

Other, less metal-ly, bands I've been listening to lately--which are perhaps not so modern, but maybe reached their prime within the last 10 years--are Brand New, RX Bandits, and The Sound of Animals Fighting.
