Ok I take that back.

On your list you`ve got Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Hendrix, Maiden, Styx, Kansas, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Saxon, Stranglers and my god Ten Years After! I like you again! I`m puzzled though, I was under the impression that you didn`t like metal, or are you one of those people that only likes classic era metal of the 1970s and early 1980s?

Haha, see? I may not talk about music that much, I know.
I like to listen and learn from you guys. I don't feel like I can teach you much . But I do know my way around good music, really.

Got to admit, Styx is sort of there for boat on the river. Sorry for that .

About Ten Years After. I love Ten Years After... Stonedhenge is DEFINITLY in my top 50.
Only... I always go "Ten Years After, John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers, Old Fleetwood Mac".
So to me it makes... No sense to me that you like Ten Years After but not Fleetwood Mac. How strange! I do see a big smilarity between those bands. Am I hearing something that isn't there? Or have you just heard the wrong tracks? I dunno.

Don`t underestimate yourself, looking at your list, you can probably teach some people quite a bit, there`s a lot of great classic and forgotten releases on it.

That Styx album btw, is easily their poorest from their mid to late 1970s golden era, as is only really on there because it contained "Babe", the rest of the album is quite bland.

I never said I disliked the original FWM, just that I preferred the second incarnation (proper) of the band. I`m actually a huge fan of blues rock in general, but I happen to think that a lot of the artists of that genre performed far better live than they did on their studio recordings. Ten Years After are a perfect example.

Well thanks . I'll see what I can do.

I, in general, don't like that kind of 'eighties rock'. Which is why I only play boat on the river, as it's so different from all the other Styx tracks I've heard. Or did I really miss out on something?

Well, I obviously prefer these old Ten Years After albums to FWM. It's just... Well I don't like pop music I guess. And the later Fleetwood mac is zo... poppy, so aimed to be loved by many. It's disturbing.

That's kinda the thing though - it's an accessible Jazz album that's still very solid and true to the genre. It's hard to appreciate the crazier stuff until you have been initiated to the genre in general - it's like the way that you wouldn't necessarily recommend your favourite album by an artist to someone who hasn't listened to them before - you want to find the album that'll appeal to them the most to start off with, and let them ease themselves into it.

@Bob: I think not liking Bob Dylan isn't an uncommon point of view on this forum :P
