You amaze me RP. How does someone who's only 21 years old have such an expansive knowledge of music created 25 years before he was born?

A band that I really want to hear more from is The Gun (who did the awesome "Race With the Devil in hm... -67?). Is there someone who have listened more to these guys and know if it's any good?

Damn it I can't believe I forgot to add the Velvet Underground to my list !!!!

Yes! Not (often) massively heavy, but very creative and diverse. Very deep band, and I think their albums Gun and Gunsight are available really cheap.
The Gurvitz brothers went on to form the excellent hard rock bands 3 Man Army; and my favorite The Baker Gurvitz Army with Ginger Baker from Cream. There are really nice complete anthologys out of all three Gurvitz bands now. All of it is good proggy hard rock.

Ah, thank you very much! Will see if I can find those albums!

I forgot The Kinks and Creedence in my list!

do Led Zeppelin count they released two albums in the sixties

THE WAILING WAILERS!!!!

Also, the Skatellites, MC5, Stooges, Stones, Beach Boys [Pet Sounds is the perfect album], and definitely the Doors.

Love-Alvin Lee's underrated band, both UFO (Alone Again Or) and Alice Cooper (Seven and Seven Is) did really cool versions of their songs.

Thank you Rattpoison Alvin Lee is from Ten Years After, not Love.

I also forgot about Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich!

The Beach Boys. Brian Wilson is a genius.

Fleetwood Mac without a doubt. i love that band. i grew up with them.

the Beatles, Jefferson Airplane, Led Zeppelin, Blue Cheer, & the Stones had moments of greatness as well. Mick Fleetwood is one of my heroes though.
