EARLY Steve Miller Band, homeboy.

Most people are completely unaware of what he was doing at the begining of his career, and how vital and real that music was. Very different from the stuff that made him popular.

Hell yeah, man! I love the first disc of that king biscuit live collection, done just before he was going to break out with the Joker. That's just great shit.

Archers of Loaf - There is a video at the VH1 page (click the link for the page) for "Web in Front". The video is pretty bad, but its a great song and if anyone has the soundtrack to Kevin Smith's Mallrats you will recognize the song.

this was one of my favorite bands to come out of the 90's. So glad I got to see them live before their demise. Seconds Before the Accident is such a good live disc, White Trash Heroes and Dead Red Eyes give me chills.

Thelonious Monster was an great band, especially live. ...Baby, you're bumming me out in a supreme fashion is one of my favorite albums. I'd love to find that one on CD. Wonder what Bob is up to these days.

Great to see them mentioned here!

Comus - Folk/Prog from the early 70's. They released two albums in their carreer, First Utterance being the only one of importance. They are very weird, but also insanely good

Blue Cheer - Early hard rock

Robin Trower - Amazing guitarist
