Please help me find similar artists, im trying to diversify :]
 
I love a lot of classic rock like Zeppelin, Floyd, Clapton, Vaughan but I have trouble finding current artists that are just as good. I'm a really big John Mayer fan; I think he's a really good guitarist and has amazing vocal range, and I like Jack Johnson, Spoon, groups like that. I don't like punk rock at all--I prefer more of a blues sound but it seems like the industry is saturated with the punk sound. I've tried getting into Indie bands like the walkmen, fiery furnaces, of montreal, the subways, etc I just can't get into 'em. Maybe you guys have some suggestions for the style I like, I really appreciate it :)

Uriah Heep, Hawkwind, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Robin Trower, Roy Buchanan, Phish.

I also recomend My Morning Jacket.... And Secret Machines.

The Fall of Troy
Death From Above 1979
The Arcade Fire
God Speed! You Black Emperor

I don't know if they are similar to what you like but they'll expand your taste

Thanks...This Uriah Heep group is pretty amazing. I definitely hear some Stevie Ray Vaughan influence in Robin Trower.

Yeah, but Robin Trower has been in the buisiness much longer, he was an original member of Procol Harum.
