New Group or Artist you like?

Hmmmm let me introduce you to some of the greats that few of you probably know. IMHO the finest blues guitarist of all time was the late great Roy Buchanan, superbly showcased by his Guitar On Fire CD – buy it!!!!. The man could make a guitar cry like a baby and change cords faster than most artists ever hope to pick. The best jazz artists actually played together for PBS’s Legends of Jazz Showcase (buy the DVD!!!!). Marcus Miller who is with out a doubt the greatest bassist of all time, and the legendary Lee Ritenour (Overtime DVD) who is without a doubt the greatest jazz guitarist of all time. Taking a totally different tack my primary speaker test CD for the last (gasp) 30 years has been Manheim Steamroller’s Fresh Aire III

" Hagard" is a group from Germany who's style is refreshing .Using clasical musicians a choir and some good guitar riffs with drums to weave it in and out of rock to clasical.There music stays more on the clasical side with a rock influence to give it apeal and flavour.Very entertaining.
Not since " Variations" came out in the mid 70's have I heard it so well done.

" Angel Tears Vol. 3" is more on the ambient side with some spanish guitar mixed in. Good chill out music.

The Shins are a great band that have come to my attention recently. The Raconteurs are interesting. I'm looking forward to the new Killers disk. Although they're hardly new, I'm reeeaaally looking forward to the new disk from MSMW (Medeski, Scofield, Martin and Wood)

Crazy is a horrible song. Good songs, "the last" by underOATH, "crimson" by Atreyu, and Memphis Will Be Laid To Waste by the band Norma Jean. also, EMINEM is good also if you enjoy rap. but i dont really listen to rap much now.

Woa, respect for rak_32 rising. Those are some wicked bands (excpet for Eminem...)

I still think you're a troll though..

Andrew Bird - Formerly Andrew Bird and his Bowl of Fire. I'm guessing the bowl of fire was far too long to put on a CD sleeve..... Latest album, The Mysterious Production Of Eggs is a personal favorite. 'Fake Palindromes' and 'A Nervous tick motion of the head to the left' are two stand-out tracks. Album has a bit of whistling, and that odd sounding instrument is a violin that he plucks!

The Exit - Got 'Don't Push' free from iTunes, a great rock single that is done justie by the full debut album Home For An Island.

Sufjan Stevens - Prolific "alternative artist". Is currently working on making a full CD for each of the 50 states. But is he keeps his current pace he won't be done till sometime in the 22nd century. Come On Feel The Illinoise is an excellant album, and who could resist a song titled "They Are The Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back From The Dead!! Ahhhh!" (which has a pretty good bass line).
