Virtually anything by Clapton. It's funny going to a concert and seeing three (maybe four) generations in the audiance. I went to the doctors office ..and the grandma behind the desk was putting pictures from when she went to see the Rolling Stones in her albumn. She was a teenager in the pics.

I like anything "well done" ..yes, that spans just about everything. Sometimes even the head bangers get something right that works. I have yet to find anything in the contemporary hip hop (as I believe it's called) genre that appeals to me (nor likely will).

I miss some of the artistic instrumental intensity that was around during a more "cerebral" time ..Jeff Beck, ELP, King Crimson, Floyd, Zepplin.

My wife enjoys a nice (and rare) afternoon where she sits and reads while I "refresh" some memories by going through my CD collection.

I guess I like "well done" music for its genre and how it indexes, or depicts, my impressions of the socialscape of the era. I like Scandal, the Go-Gos, the Waitesses, Kim Wilde (stuff like that) for what I "feel" was the mood of the time. This is in spite of the fact that I'm not really a "fan" of the respective groups. That is, I never bought an AC/DC album (and am not likely to) ..but their airplay kinda anchors certain memory markers for a given time.

Blues (great for any party back drop), Progressive Jazz, Southern Boogie, Fusion, "Americana Folk/Rock/C&W" ..I guess anything as long as it strikes the right chord in me.

Can you name any artist that virtually never cranked out "junk"? I'll vote for David Byrne for one...a real genius.

A few years, made in the USA model. Just getting around to copper lining the pickup cutout and pick guard back, and putting in a Little 59 humbucker in the bridge, Hot Rails humbucker in the neck, and didn't choose a middle pickup yet but the Duckbucker humbucker might be the one. As you can tell, I like to have a totally silent guitar with no hum.

I don't play that well, just yet, but am taking lessons and aspiring to play like Stevie Ray Vaughn. My other favorite is Hendrix. May as well aim for the top! Can play a few Clapton songs so I must be on the right path.

Do you play?
 
Deadly.
I play too, have since I labored in a fish market when I was 14 to buy my first Martin.

I'm a Gibson guy now. My favorite is my 1994 Gospel acoustic. Lower mid-range is a killer, and what sold me is that it doesn't sound like a Martin. Sounds like an old J-45 with a bit of Hummingbird mixed in.
 
wow ! you guys are old !

I am 41 and I don't now nor have I ever listened to any of you selcetions...hey i guys I am just 18 at heart !

Oky so I saw someone mention Mellencamp and a Fleetwood Mac .
 
Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep, Jethro tull, King Crimson, Genesis, Ten years After (Cricklewood Green a classic album), Cream, Emerson Lake and Palmer and just too many to remember. Better music than today's stuff IMO.
 
God I loved ELP when I was 15-18 years old. Saw them in Long Beach, Calif. Cleanest sound of any concert....now they still sound OK, but they don't move me. Just old age I guess. (on my part)
