We have lots of new members ( and new old members) to the new site. I thought it would be nice to meet you, and what better way than to know what music you ❤️.
I’ll start! Favorite Station: Classic Vinyl on Sirius XM.
Lots of artists back in my day. But my favorites are Traffic, Cream, Canned Heat, Cat Stevens, Buffalo Springfield, Santana, George Thorogood and the Destroyers, Stevie Ray Vaughan just to name a few.

Led Zep
The Cure
The Smithereens
The Who
SRV
Tom Petty with and without the Heartbreakers
The Clash
Springsteen
Stones (first concert I saw, 1981 or 82)

Not enough time or space to list favorites. I worked with the Bay Area (and world) concert promoter Bill Graham and ensuing organization for about 20 years. Bwteen working and attending, I'm near 1700 concerts (and, yes, I have them all on a spreadsheet). Anything from 60s through today. Rock, pop, metal, alternative, blues, bluegrass, Americana... I guess I could list the concerts we have seen or have booked (so far) for this year as an indicator: Sarah Jarosz, Marc Cohn, Shawn Colvin Dave Alvin and Jimmy Dale Gilmore (tonight  ) Sonny Landreth Bonnie Raitt RHCP Gracie Abrams (unlikely unless we can score tickets) 4 day festival in Florida (Avett Bothers, jason Isbell, Black Crowes, Elle King, Marcus King,...) Seal 7 days of New Orleans Jazz Fest Mike Campbell and the Dirty Knobs James Taylor Little Feat and dirty Dozen Brass Band Bryan Adams/ Joan Jett Bruce Springsteen Once our local winery venue comes out with their season, there'll be 8-10 more. We've gone to England (twice) and Iceland for concerts. And, of course, Metallica. Cheers. |

I will add that anyone who is a fan of music should, no must read Dave Grohl's book "The Storyteller.
Cheers.

Enjoy lots of different music…classic rock being my fave.
Was fortunate to see the Beatles in Atlantic City. My dad took me, my older sister and her friend. I spent most of the concert on my dad’s lap. Heard mostly the screams of young girls. And, I swear Paul waved to me. Will never forget the experience.

Maybe the most underrated guitarist I can think of (I'll include Elliot Easton and Neal Giraldo on that list). I saw Mudcrutch, maybe 2017, and he had much more freedom to just play compared with his already stellar playing on TP&tHB songs.

They actually bill themselves as "Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo." it's "Pat Benatar and her husband, who happens to be a pretty good guitar player."
(Side note: apparently Spider was the first person to play guitar on MTV as the first song "Video Killed the Radio star" does not have a guitar, and Benatar was the second song.)
We saw Mudcrutch in 2008 and very much enjoyed it. I've seen TP & HB 17 times, some being acoustic at Neil Young's Bridge Benefit concert. I very much enjoy Campbell's playing and very mush looking forward to this show. At an old classic theatre in Monterey.
Cheers.

Oh, fun topic! I listen to Messianic Worship music. Favorite artists: Paul Wilbur, Aaron Shust, Joshua Aaron, Ted Pearce, ... and many more I'm just now discovering through Apple Music.  I also enjoy old hymns ... especially as instrumental background music. Favourite artist in this category: Josh Snodgrass. Edited to add for Hope: As you like Bruce ... I was delighted to stumble into his rendition of Pete Seeger's "Mary Don't You Weep" a few week back. I played it over and over ... and loved every note. It carried me through Mardi Gras, being far from N.O. Watching it on YouTube was also quite fun ... both live and in studio: - Live in Dublin:
- In Studio, the Seeger Sessions:
