Jar of Flies is such a colorful, dense, and beautiful EP. Shows all the best of AIC. I couldn't get into the three legged dog self-titled. Loved everything before though and they've put out some good stuff with Duvall.
Post-punk? Pretty much my grad school and the whole period after was all about that. I just saw Killing Joke this past September fulfilling a dream and I've been into Sioxsie, Gang of Four, Chrome, Bush Tetras, Bauhaus, The Cramps, Magazine, etc.
Speaking of post punk and reggae. Any of you know Hollie Cook? She is the daughter of the Sex Pistols drummer and has a wonderful wonderful voice. She calls it "Tropical Pop" but it's very reggae influenced. I first found out about her on WFUV (for those from NY know the station) the day after the Rangers were knocked out in 2012. Does a nice dub cover of When The Beat Goes On. Her latest album is about a year old and was produced by Youth from Killing Joke.

Staley had a tremendous voice and knew how to use it. They wrote interesting lyrics that came across as real and not goofy. I love Cantrell as a guitar player and a lot more than those he credits as his influences. The rhythm section--the way it crashed around and fell off cliffs--it was just an awesome band. Even coming from a more punk outlook I liked them more than I liked Nirvana and I liked Nirvana quite a lot.

I started listening to FUV around 1996. XPN in Philly is similar and even better. 91.1 FMU is even more wild. I used to be out in the field on Saturday mornings and there was a show called Greasy Kid Stuff where I discovered the immortal James Kochalka Superstar and Monkey vs. Robot.

I get into fast play acoustic guitar stuff from time to time, does not matter the genre but if anyone wants to check out something that is a little bit, not sure the word, intriguing with a Spanish guitar rock thing, check out Rodrigo y Gabriela.
This one always raises the hairs on the back of my neck, Crank it up if you can.

Not gonna lie, I listened to some Billy Squirer this morning.
Also on the list for today was some Alice in Chains, George Harrison and Candlebox.

same as most weeks, Free, Humble Pie, Little Feat, Rory Gallagher, Little Jimmy King, Tedeschi Trucks, Hot Tuna, Cold Blood, Delaney & Bonnie, Steel Pulse, Luther Dickinson, Daktaris, Ellis Hooks, Otis Rush, Duane Allman, Skynyrd, '69-'77 Dead
I agree jar of flies is great but nobody's mentioning Sap? I know it's a short EP but everything on there is gold. How many times I played those songs on my acoustic guitar when I was around 20 years old down in Baltimore harbor playing for money so we can go to the Denny's at 1 in the morning 
.....
And no mention of Mad Season, probably the greatest record from that whole era

Eagles of Death Metal. They had a great song on NHL 10. Garage Rock Revival sound and damn good at it.
Gaslight Anthem, 59 Sound is a great song and album.

Well because AIC is everything I look for in music
Mad Season's album Above is fantastic as well. I Don't Know Anything, River of Deceit, Lifeless Dead, Artificial Red. Great stuff. The Mark Lanegan led tracks were awesome as well in Locomotive, and Long Day Gone.
@Off Sides Rodrigo y Gabriela are wonderful. Great live. Wonderful how they incorporate their metal roots into acoustic guitar tracks.

Rodrigo Y Gabriela are awesome. I love the album they did with a full band/orchestra. They even played with Marty Friedman.
Whoever said Marquee Moon, I know it's cliche by this point but one of the greatest guitar albums ever made. It's not fancy at all but Verlaine/Lloyd the interplay and tone, how did they record that with obviously a limited budget?
@One Winged Angel I loved the 59 Sound. They played it during warmups for a Rangers/Caps playoff game back in the day (2009). Shame that the band changed so much after.

I tried Little Feet when I was in my mid 20s and it wasn't riffy or groovy enough for me. Love it now. Been a fan of Lowell George's daughter who sings in The Bird And The Bee for quite some time.
Rory Gallagher, other than when I mention Shina Ringo to people from Japan, when I mention I'm a fan of Rory Gallagher to people from Ireland they're really surprised and happy. Guy was a great player. Never really made it big in the US. Canada? Someone might know.
Loved the Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi albums, but as a bad it was too polished for me.

Someone first played the title track for me in college; at some point during the song, she said “THIS is Rock ‘n’ Roll”, and I could not argue.

He's playing a very small metal bar (St. Vitus) a Friday in Brooklyn in March. I don't know his solo work that well but I might go just for the intimacy.
