Enjoy!

And let me add this to show a very nice guitar play:

Seriously. It makes me sad that so many people feel this way. It's like saying "I'm completely ignorant - now listen to me complain about it".

There has always been crap music, but I can find good music in any time period (granted, maybe not as much now as back then), hopefully a few years down the road we will have forgotten all about the garbage.

Sorry about my math. Getting old. The most disappointing thing about todays so called rock artists is their apathy. None of them seem to say, Yeah the Beatles and Stones were great, but we're going to be better! We're going to be more innovative! We're going to write better songs! Which is what the Beatles and STones did. Young people suck, only this time they suck because they are lame.

Electronic music

I could post literally hundreds of bands. Just hit show #100 over the weekend and I am pretty much ready to move on past classic rock. But I will just post this band I stumbled across in a really random manner yesterday.

The Riptide Movement from Ireland, no idea if they ever even made it out but I will check them out if they ever play LA

I easily came up with over a hundred. Not all guitar/bass/drums but time marches on.

This list is very LA-centric - as much as I claim to be into new

music I haven't even heard most of the modern corporate hipster

bands, I mostly just check out bands from the clubs I like to go to and build a calendar off that.

Some great things you posted Dan....but my problem is that I have to skip the first minute.....before something happening to me

Jeez, Dan, I wanted to give a fair listen to the videos you posted but I don't have a month. So here's the first few: Sean & Wheeler & also C.W. Stoneking are a little too gimmicky for me. I've already heard the Squirrel Nut Zippers.

Pierce has a lot of promise. I like them better live, which means they're not being produced particularly well. I'd love to hear them with better production and stronger material.

Gaby Moreno, nothing original, more expressive in Spanish.

Paula I Karol, eh.

Zanie Lane benefits from Jack White's production adding a twist making old things seem new.

And here's a group that entertains me in L.A. every chance I get to see them along with their associate group Janet Klein and her Parlor Boys. (The music starts at 1:30 if you grow tired of the patter).

Like that hasn't been done before? Give me Son Volt or Wilco anyday, sorry... peace

if you want to hear a good rock band that started in the 80's go check out CIRCUS OF POWER. they sound like the doors mixed with guns n roses with a hint of punk

I LOVE the first Circus Of Power album. Saw them in 2009.

Also to address a couple of other things

"nothing original"

"Like that hasn't been done before? "

Well, since the original topic was bands for fans of 60's-70's-80's music, there probably won't be much original by the time I am done posting over a hundred newer bands I like.

i honestly didn't know circus of power still played live. i have the bands 3 albums and then an album by FAT NANCY which was one of the singers many projects. the singer also has albums out by the bands CAPATAIN ZAPPED, UNCLE MAX'S COSMIC BAND and PLASTIC GATOR MACHINE


if you like circus of power i suggest checking out LOVE/HATE. a little more funk in the music and guns n roses in the vocals than circus of power

v

Havo, thou need to go no further than Beady Eye.

www.beadyeyemusic.com

Rock n Roll revival died when Cobain blow his brains out? It hadn't even started then!

Yikes! Please don't suggest anyone listen to Love/Hate... Though Jizzy sounded good when I saw the L.A. Guns Acoustic Gypsy taping last year.

That was the last time I heard anything of Circus Of Power. I think it was a one off. Daniel Rey (Ramones collaborator) played guitar instead of Gary Sunshine. 60 min set and literally 15 pay to play bands in several different rooms. Saw a few and they were horrific beyond your worst imagination.



(Traditional Rock/Metal/Punk/Grunge/Soul)

PRIMA DONNA

Real classic sound, great live band, see them whenever I can. They

ticket when I found out they were playing)

sorry you don't like love/hate. i love them. very original band. i take it you like in the l.a. area by the bands you know of? you remember a band called WILDSIDE?

anyways i just looked it up the circus of power gigs in 2009 was to celebrate the official re-release of the first 2 albums with bonus tracks via rockcandy records

We'll settle for what you've already recorded as a start...post away BluzDude, I'm all ears.

Here is a relatively new one from this master of my soul, Mr. Jimi Hendrix. This one almost has a Stones feel, like one Mick Jagger could have written, ala 100 Years Ago.....almost. peace

You can sample my blues band's cd here.


[www.cdbaby.com]

Thanks BluzDude, I did. I like the harmonica playing and the tune Cry Baby Cry. I'll bet you guys were a fun show to watch, that kind of Blues usually gets the ladies dancing. Funny your genre is listed as soft rock, easy listening?? peace

It's highly unlikely anyone could be a 60th-80th fan. How can anyone keep count of who is what number of being a fan?

When Roger created the CD Baby page, he was allowed to put several genres, Blues should have been first, then added the other 2.
Anyway, just a bit about the CD, 12 of the 14 songs are original. Roger wrote 9, I wrote 3.He did the engineering and I did the production. It was a fun project, including our gigs at B.B. Kings (which has horrible acoustics) and the Key Club.

BTW, if I knew how to take the songs, which are in my iTunes on my mac, and put them here, I would do it, but I've yet to figure how to do that. I can email them, but not post them in a Forum like this.
