    Wolfmother - very classic rock Led Zeppelin sound

    Eagles of Death Metal - they described themselves best as rock music that strippers would be able to dance to. very unique and fun.

    wait... one of the first CDs I bought, when I was 17, was Eric Clapton Unplugged. i'm 30 now, so... I must be ready for retirement soon then, huh?

    evidently this is a problem in this case :P quality is not a word that springs to mind when thinking about Rod Stewart or Eric Clapton.

    the quality of the allmans & clapton superceeded my personal dislike for rod stewart, so i figure my comment was justified. but really, you don't like clapton? aw well, to each his own, i suppose.

    Rod Stewart ok. Bu ERIC CLAPTON? You don't think Eric Clapton is quality? Are you joking?! (Not to judge or anything) But some of Clapton's work freaking defines quality!
    I'm sorry I just hate the guy :) I think he is an incredibly limited and vastly overrated guitarist. He is so middle-of-the-road now its unbelievable, his rootsy blues shtick is just boring. The last good song Clapton wrote is Layla and that doesn't even compare to Cream, who I never thought were as good as people say anyway. I'm sure some love him but I just can't stand him.

    These guys are probably 70 now and cooler than any hipster kid listening to the crap thats out now

    The Kinks are one of the greatest bands ever. Anyone trying to write songs should give them a thoroughly good seeing to. And I'm not just saying that because Ray Davies is from the same area of North London as me and I've met him a few times :-) Was gonna see him last month before he fell ill. It's been put back to March now..

    Get well soon Raymondio.

    You need to broaden your horizons. We may not have the 60's and 70's, but there are plenty of good bands out now. Music is not dead.

    Widespread Panic
    Tea Leaf Green
    Phish
    RAQ
    Umphrey's McGee
    moe.
    Trey Anastasio

    I wasn't gonna say all that, but I do feel like a lot of people hail clapton as the best guitarist of all time. I've got plenty of respect for him, but most of his music doesn't do it for me. A lot of blues doesn't cuz it all sounds alike. Same thing goes for SRV.

    excuse me. I'm allowed a fucking opinion. Deal with it. at what point did I insult you? I may be 18 but I'm pretty damn sure my music tastes are considerably better than yours if you felt the need to respond like this to my opinions about Eric Clapton. Oh and notice, I still haven't resorted to childish insults. You think I have shit taste?

    How are Bob Dylan, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Godspeed you black emperor!, Fugazi, Big Black, Husker Du, Zeppelin, The Who, The small faces, The Velvet Underground, Nick Drake, Pharaoh Sanders, Jimi Hendrix, Tool, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Faith no More, Neil Young and Leonard Cohen for you?

    Seems to me like you are the immature person here. Next time you disagree with someone, get over it. My post had nothing to do with you so if you disagree, walk away. Get a life.

    That's fine. But I hate when people say that they don't like Clapton because he hasn't done anything good in a while (not that you're necessarily doing that). This is just annoying though because, I believe that some of his work is easily some of the best out there. Period. And also, Jimi Hendrix hasn't done anything great in a long time either (obviously), but people don't hold that against him, or say that he's irrelevant now.

    How is this? I haven't heard anything, but read an article and it sounded like it would be pretty good.
