Let's not forget The Clarks.... A local Pgh band...

I have a few of thier CDs, and it's good sheit.........

True dat. They'll always remind me of my "party days" while living in the 'Burgh circa 1995-1999. I keep meaning to see them whenever they come around here, but haven't.

Other favorites, in no particular order:

Black Sabbath (Dio and Gillan years preferred)
Coroner (thus the avatar - go to [url="http://www.designvortex.com/coroner"]http://www.designvortex.com/coroner[/url] for more info, best technical thrash band ever)
Frank Zappa
King Crimson
Blue Murder
Slayer
Megadeth
Steely Dan
Pantera
Blue Oyster Cult
Thin Lizzy/Gary Moore
Annihilator
David Bowie
Dream Theater
Basically any old 80s/90s metal and any good prog. Some country is good (wife's favorite is Martina McBride), jazz/fusion, classical.

Yeah, it's an interesting mix, but I'm a musician, so there will always be a bunch of stuff in there I suppose.

Worth, we must have been seperated at birth

I don't think I look very Filipino, but you never know man.

Didn't you say you were part Italian (or maybe it was something else) anyways?

Smokey, Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Isaac Hayes, Barry White - those guys helped me out many a night.

Wow!!!

Where do I begin with this one? My musical tastes are all over the place. But at the end of the day, I am a confirmed jazz and blues head.

I've seen several of the great players in both categories. Many have now passed, but the music lives on and the jazz and blues are genres are always evolving and there are some great players that are carrying the torch for both musical forms.

In jazz, I have grown to enjoy a lot of post-bop, experimental, fusion and acid jazz. Lots of guitars, of course. But also a lot of pianos, synthesizers, drums, electric and acoustic bass. Jazz is great because for everything I've heard, I'm only scratching the surface of what I could hear.

Some of my favorite players read like a list of who's who from yesterday and today in jazz. Big fan of Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Chick Corea, Bill Evans among others who have set the pace or, as is the case with Herbie and Chick, are still setting the pace. Also enamored of Pat Metheny, John Scofield, Michael Brecker, Joshua Redman, Scott Henderson, Joe Lovano, Keith Jarrett, Charles Earland, among others. I could write forever. Jazz is more than music, it's a lifestyle.

As is blues. Of the many varieties of blues, I prefer West Coast and Piedmont blues, followed closely by Delta and Chicago blues. Love the Blues Harp. Little Walter is, was and will always be the greatest man to ever blow the blues harp. Sonny Boy Williamson, Junior Wells, George "Harmonica" Smith, Charlie Musselwhite, James Cotton and Billy Branch are among the greats in the annals of blues harp. There are many out there now that are setting a new standard like Rod Piazza, James Harman and Rick Estrin are all slugging it out on the circuit and have been for years.

Among the great blues composers you have to have Willie Dixon, Elmore James, Muddy Waters, Little Walter and Sonny Boy on the list. So many greats, so little time.

I could go on and on, but you get the idea. I like a lot of what you guys have made mention of here. I used to be much more snobbish about jazz and blues. But the world of music is huge and there is much to like.

ZZ Top.... awesome group. Billy Gibbons is a guitarist that should of gotten more props than he did. The thing that trips me out the most about this trio is that the guy with the least amount of facial hair (save the mustache of course) has the sir name of "Beard."
