 | The Essential Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $7.24 This Austin, Texas native is flat out the best guitar and blues player of all time. He will be the best of all time too. Some people just have it. SRV has the skill and style for the ages.
|
 | Buddy's Baddest: The Best of Buddy Guy by Buddy Guy
Buy new: $8.98 / Used from: $4.44 Great blues.
|
 | Hope and Desire by Susan Tedeschi
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $5.93 Blues player used to play with SRV. Spectacular.
|
 | Heavier Things by John Mayer
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $1.30 Some people would not like me calling John Mayer a blues guitarist, but I'm sorry, that is what he is. His radio songs are record label produced, but his talent, especially live, is truly extraordinary.
|
 | Aenima by Tool
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $7.50 Tool is one of the greatest bands of all time IMO. If you get a chance to see this band live, please take it. If you are a fan of Tool or not you will not be disappointed. Tool is already a band that will be remembered for many years.
|
 | Mer de Noms by A Perfect Circle
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $2.40 A Perfect Circle has the singer from Tool and yet sounds much different. The songs are shorter, less complex, and less angry. Vocalist Maynard James Keenan has the voice of a powerful front-man but without the ego. This band is hard to describe. Very good though IMO.
|
 | Everyday by Dave Matthews Band
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $0.74 Dave Matthews Band is another fantastic pop/rock band. These songs are on the radio all of the time. Love it.
|
 | Make Yourself by Incubus
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.23 More of a pop rock band, Incubus has creative ways of making music. The guitar work is spectacular. This is one of those bands that most people listen to them because of the vocalist.
|
 | Images and Words by Dream Theater
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $2.99 Progressive hard rock at its absolute best. This band's chemistry is spectacular and it shows on their albums. Dream Theater is another favorite of mine.
|
 | In Absentia by Porcupine Tree
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $5.99 A band many have never heard of, but Porcupine Tree are grand. They are progressive rock but not as heavy as say Dream Theater. Great songs and nobody in the band stands out more than the others.
|
 | Invisible Touch by Genesis
Buy used from: $0.01 Older progressive rock with the legendary Phil Collins at the helm. Played on Classic Rock radio all the time. These guys are pros.
|
 | De-Loused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $3.68 The first time you hear this band you think "how bizarre." They grew on me very quickly. I'd say this band is unclassifiable. Experimental rock if you had to force it.
|
 | The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $0.95 Nine Inch Nails are unique because they combine rock with electronic. Very successful. This band is rad.
|
 | Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $1.00 Red Hot Chili Peppers are funky. For the 90s anyway. Very popular band, and very successful.
|
 | The Colour and the Shape by Foo Fighters
Buy used from: $0.22 Drummer from Nirvana becomes front-man of the Foo Fighters. This band is general rock n roll. Awesome stuff.
|
 | Rubberneck by Toadies
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.98 I may be a little bias because I am from Texas like the Toadies, but this band know how to write a rock song. The Toadies have the formula for rock 'n' roll despite their lack of material. (Two studio albums). There is nothing really special lyrically or musically but the songs make you dance and have fun. That is what rock is all about right?
|
 | Ten by Pearl Jam
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $0.75 A grunge era band. These guys have entertained me for hours and hours.
|
 | Dirt by Alice in Chains
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.08 Vocalist is annoying to some, but he is right up my ally.
|
 | Superunknown by Soundgarden
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.25 Breaking the barrier. Soundgarden broke all of the rules of rock and roll long ago and have been rewarded with awesomeness.
|
 | Rage Against the Machine by Rage Against the Machine
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.49 This band rocks. Rage has made me start jumping up and down in the middle of public places.
|
 | Audioslave by Audioslave
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $1.19 The best "super group" out there. Rage Against the Machine and Soundgarden.
|
 | White Pony by Deftones
Buy new: $18.98 / Used from: $4.45 I hear the vocalist for this band is actually tone deaf. Sounds good though.
|
 | Tenacious D by Tenacious D
Buy new: $8.98 / Used from: $2.93 Lyrics are insane but they have you basic rock elements that any great rock band has.
|
 | Parachutes by Coldplay
Buy new: $11.94 / Used from: $2.00 Some bands are popular for a reason. I like this band. Perhaps I am "gay, because I like Coldplay." So be it. ;)
|
![Synchronicity [Digipak]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51XhIp-RhhL._SL75_.jpg) | Synchronicity [Digipak] by The Police
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $4.45 The Police could be one of the greatest three piece bands of all time. Perhaps ZZ Top would be the other contender. 100% musicians in this band.
|
 | Eagles : The Very Best Of (2CD) by Eagles
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $10.18 Classic rock at its best. My captions are getting lazy.
|
 | Strictly Commercial: The Best of Frank Zappa by Frank Zappa
Buy used from: $2.88 Strange music. I find myself listening to them over and over however.
|
 | Chronicle, Vol. 1: The 20 Greatest Hits by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.66 Talk about rock. This one the best classic rock bands ever IMO. Super band.
|
 | Rust in Peace by Megadeth
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $6.53 This band is heavy metal. Bottom line. They have been a band since the early 80s and still have not changed that guitar tone. Lyrics are political and cheesy but metal is not about that and all about guitar solos and head-banging riffs. Megadeth has certainly mastered this.
|
 | Metallica by Metallica
Buy new: $14.49 / Used from: $4.89 Metallica is on heavy metal's classic bands list.
|
 | Toxicity by System of a Down
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $0.97 Metal that rarely gets old. This band has good material.
|
Listmania!
