The Goat Rodeo Sessions is one example of a band that just "clicked" with me. Absolutely superb music. And I know there isn't that much love for electronic/techno music around here but I've been consistently partial to a bit of Aphex Twin for the last 20 years or so, and recently the artist Floating Points has floated my boat, particularly the songs "Realise" and "Sais." He paints with audio and I love that. Long term I have always clicked with Joe Jackson, Steely Dan, Frank Zappa and the Mahavishnu Orchestra.

Double post!

Mother Love Bone..
MC5..

Dern...I love the Bonzos so much I guess I'm going to have to search out and listen to the rest of Mosh's list...which I'm totally unfamiliar with. I love a musical adventure. Or will I??

Here are a few.
 
Richard Thompson - In my view the undisputed king.
The Strawbs - They have remained a consistent favorite while some others have drifted in and out of favor.
Fairport Convention in the Sandy Denny era.
King Crimson - The first three albums mainly.
Yes
Big Big Train
Mostly Autumn
Karnataka
Pink Floyd
ELP
Chris Rea
Genesis up to the departure of Steve Hackett, from that point on they belong on the "do not get" list.
Deep Purple.
Neil Young
Al Stewart
Five Hand Reel
Steven Wilson (Blown away by the recent album "The Raven who Refused to Sing")
Yazoo (the only 80's synth pop band that really appealed to me.)
And a special mention for "The Golden Star Band" My favorite Filipino cover band from a very sleazy Dubai back street bar.
 

I still love early Grand Funk. After they fired Terry Knight and got real producers they lost something, but made more "hits".
I hardly ever hear about The Outlaws anymore (not the country collaboration) and Blackfoot.

One of The Outlaws main members guitarist, Hughie Thomasson died. Both he and Rickey Medlocke of Blackfoot played with Lyrnryd Skynyrd for several years, maybe the last decade. Rickey still plays with Skynyrd, but he played with Blackfoot on Strikes and Tomcattin'. Good music!
