Go Down

I need to know some. I'm having a craving for 60's-70's rock and blues with some great guitar licks, and I seem to have lost my collection from the last time I actually liked classic rock about 4 years ago.

don't tell me things I can think of myself like led zeppelin clapton floyd dylan etc. unless they're things I might not have thought of myself.

GO

The Hand That Fisted Everyone


Boogus Epirus Aurelius

Quicksilver Messenger Sevice.
Country Joe and the Fish
The Pretty Things (Make sure you get one of theirs)
Maybe some Procol Harum.
The Seeds!
The Small faces are good.
13th Floor Elevators
The Band?

And the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.

I think those'd fit into the stratum of what you're aching for. 

And how do you stop liking classic rock? For shame.

Lover of the Bayou, by Mudcrutch. This is Tom Petty with his band from high school that reformed last year and made an album. It's only a year old, but it fits in the style. Same goes with Warpaint by the Black Crowes (an excellent album, not at all like their poppy stuff from the 90s). There's a lot you can find as far as "good guitar licks" goes. I'm not sure if you're looking for some true bluesy kinda stuff or if you'd be okay with mainstream classics as well.

You said you've got stuff like Clapton down, but do you have the Layla album? I have no idea if you do or don't, but it's probably a good fit for whatever you're looking for.

Well, you know, you should try looking into (more) modern stuff that incorporates the "70s guitar hero" style as well...stuff like The Answer's "Never Too Late," which I never grow tired of, or some of The Stone Roses' more rockin' stuff like "Driving South."

Anyway, let's see...uh, have you heard of Hot Tuna? They're a 70s band that was a blues-rock alternative for some members of Jefferson Airplane/Starship. They did mostly covers, but they were all kickass.



The artist formally known

Camel's album Moonmadness and their other, The Snow Goose are pretty damn good.

PuuMastaFunk

Peter Frampton (Couldn't decide whether you could think of him yourself)
Procal Harem
Jefferson Airplane/Starship

Can't believe I forgot this.



Mean licks, live energy, and overall an awesome hard-rockin' album
