surfpup Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 There are so many..... Hendrix, Cream, Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones (late 60s/ early 70s era), The Who (same era), early Black Sabbath. But above all of these, I'd pick Free. Best band of that era I think. Crap! Apparently all my favorite recordings were made between 1967 and 1974! Don't get me wrong, I listen to a lot of modern bands, but these just can't be beat IMO.

RichCI Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I don't have a particular favorite either. There have been so many that influenced me. One that accidentally influenced my rhythm style is some guy who played with a band called "Jack Mack and the Heart Attack" or something similar. I saw them play on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert (or some other show like it) back in the 80's and the guitar player played with a real slashing style while alternating palm muting and not palm muting. I can't even remember what the song sounded like but I remember watching that guy jackhammer his guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruznolfart Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Just no possible way, after hearing such great music from so many different artists for more than a half century, that I could have but one favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 George Gershwin. You probably want a guitarist though. My two favorite are SRV and Alex Lifeson. But there are too many to list here (the ones others list are great too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Leonardo da vinci Musical artists? Depends on my mood, but overall I'll say The Beatles. From about 1983 until recently I would have said Led Zeppelin but they're starting to bore me lately. Maybe I'm just getting burned out on them after all these years.

Steven Tari Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Black Oak Arkansas, One of the first Southern Rock Bands. My favorite song was " Uncle Lijiah". I guess most of Ya'll don't even know who they are. Shot how many bands you ever see that the lead singer played Scrub Board? Find them on Google and give a listen and see what you missed. The group, originally called "The Knowbody Else", was formed in 1965 in Black Oak, Arkansas, by Jim "Dandy" Mangrum (vocals), Rickie Reynolds (guitar), Stanley Knight (guitar), Harvey Jett (guitar), Pat Daugherty (bass), and Wayne Evans (drums). Their first PA system was stolen from a local high school. Members of the group were subsequently charged in absentia with grand larceny and sentenced to 26 years at the Tucker Prison Farm (this sentence was later suspended). This led to their retreat to the hills of rural northeast Arkansas where they lived off the land and refined their musical style.[citation needed] Some of their influences during this time were The Beatles and The Byrds. The Knowbody Else moved to Memphis, Tennessee in 1969 and signed a record deal with Stax Records. Their self-titled debut album, and their only album with Stax, was largely ignored by the populace. During this time the band became interested in psychedelia and Eastern spiritualism which, combined with their Southern Baptist upbringing, contributed to their sound. After several trips to Los Angeles, California in 1970, the band was signed by Atco Records and rechristened "Black Oak Arkansas". Their self-titled debut album Black Oak Arkansas was released in 1971 while the band toured extensively, gaining a reputation as a live act. The twin album releases that followed in 1972, Keep The Faith and If An Angel Came To See You, Would You Make Her Feel At Home, expanded on the group’s eclectic musical style. In 1973, Black Oak Arkansas released their fourth album Raunch 'N' Roll Live and introduced a new drummer, Tommy Aldridge. It was their fifth album High on the Hog, released later that year, that established solid commercial success by peaking at number 52 on the Billboard charts. Vocalist Ruby Starr also toured with the band during this period. Her raspy voice can be heard on the group's remake of LaVern Baker's 1957 hit "Jim Dandy," which reached number 25 on Billboard's Hot 100. The 1974 release "Street Party" may have failed to maintain the momentum, however, another 1974 release entitled "Early Times", an overlooked Stax recording, made up for lost time. In 1976 the original lineup of Black Oak Arkansas (minus Harvey Jett, who was replaced by Jimmy Henderson) released their last album, Balls of Fire. A new version of the band called "Black Oak" was formed in 1977 around Jim "Dandy" Mangrum and Jimmy Henderson. Greg Reding (guitar and keyboards), Jack Holder (guitar), Andy Tanas (bass), and Joel Williams (drums) participated on the two Capricorn albums which were recorded in 1977 (Race with the Devil) and 1978 (I'd Rather Be Sailing.) In 1978, guitarist Shawn Lane joined the band at age 14 and toured with the band for four years. Released in 1984, Ready, as Hell debuted a heavier sound with pinch harmonics and keyboards featured throughout. The album also marked the return of Rickie Lee Reynolds on rhythm guitar. In 1986, The Black Attack Is Back continued the heavy style of the previous album and featured the particularly adventurous track "I Want A Woman With Big Titties". Despite that lack of subtlety, the album is widely regarded as the finest of the band's long career, with the greatest lineup to date. Still, it made no commercial headway. James Mangrum has continued recording and touring with a series of different Black Oak lineups up to present day. Black Oak Arkansas currently enjoys a loyal fan following. However, the later lineups have yet to duplicate the level of album sales that the original lineup generated in the early-mid 1970s. Jim Dandy is credited with inspiring Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth's image and onstage persona as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
