For me it is the lighter side, I do a lot of machine work out in my shop listening to this music. There are a great many unknown artists that make this type of music but here are some of my favorites. This music just talks to me and makes me feel calm. It also helps me think and I believe be more creative.....

Band = HERMANO
Genre = stoner/desert/groove rock
Sounds like = Singer John Garcia continues his unique vocal assault with his latest band Hermano. John was the original singer for the California stoner rock group Kyuss. The rest of Kyuss went on to become known as Queens Of The Stone Age while John drifted through a few different bands and projects before putting together Hermano. The band consists of other stoner rock alumni who together carry on the stoner rock tradition of great power riffs, and heavy grooves.......

Didn't you post these a few months back?
I was trying to remember, earlier, what I had seen and was drawing a blank until now.
Excellent! Thanks.

Stop The Bus reminds me a bit of Crazy Horse.

Yes, thank you. I posted 'Stop the Bus' in another thread awhile back, but not the other two.
It is so rare that I hear anything new that really impresses me and I havn't seen a band use a B-3 like that in more years than I can count.

Ahem... *cough*

Bump?

Band: Ashes of the Armada
Genre: hardcore/metal

They play pretty good and use a lot of different time signatures in their songs
They are on facebook and their musicis on myspace just look up Ashes of the Armada

Can't forget this one...especially if you want to test out the bass capabilities of your stereo system. Gotta be the lowest tuned bass I can remember...

Dutch Pop-Tee Set-Ma Belle Amie

OMG!!

I remember when this got played on the radio all the time.
Can't remember the last time I heard it, though. Thanks for the memories.

In response...

Pretty sure this guy predates Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath by several years.

For the old school folks...
His drummer was Carl Palmer from ELP and keyboard player was Vincent Crane from Atomic Rooster.

Just spotted the bumps... Wondering why I never got the email updates about this thread?

Something ado about Cliff's updated subscription system, I'm assuming - I guess I need to recheck the "email notification" box on this thread, huh?

I doubt the young cats here will know who this is, and many folks my age don't know his name either. His more popular tunes were Boom Boom (Out Go the Lights) and Hooked On Music, plus maybe others that I have forgotten. I had an 8-track of him in the 70's. I give you: Pat Travers

Cool!
I was looking for Killer's Instinct by Pat Travers, but it doesn't appear to be out there.
I did find something of the same vintage.

German Rockabilly:

Now that's some LOW bass...

Yes, folks, they have a "Best Of" album!
They were actually musical pioneers, just not often talked about.

In the sixties, it took a group of British musicians to expose young Americans to a powerful form of American music.

quote Originally posted by Cheever3000: We used to love this one. Still do.

Excellent! I love Loudon Wainwright's music.
This is probably the only one of his tunes that got any airplay, but he's done lots of stuff.
He's pretty much of a lunatic. I like that in a musician.

Cheever... Here's another one.

Cool.

Check this out. I saw this guy Heywood Banks in a comedy club when I lived in Ohio. Seems he never comes down below the Mason-Dixon Line.
