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 banRAB 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.
 
Ahh! good to know cause most of the msuic i listen to has more of a depressing/emotional/deepness to the lyircs. You said your a classic rock fan, umm Zeppelin Fan? cause a lot of Zeppelin's lyrics are about sad depressing love stuff.. I'm just trying to find banRAB more like them just newer cause those threee banRAB i said before have a bit of a rock sound yes.. but i'm not sure if you'd find them interesting or not.
 
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
 
lol okay I'll detract what I said because now I realize probably more than half of what I listen to is deep/emotional/dark. I like stuff thats really emotional (without the whiney annoying voice that punk rock singers have). Songs I like by Zeppelin are stairway to heaven (who doesn't like that song?) D'yer Ma'ker (really cool reggae sound) black dog, Kashmir (really creepy suspenseful beat) Dazed and Confused, etc
 
the title of this thread makes no sense... if you want to diversify surely you want artists that are different?

anyway..

Mogwai, 27, Kayo Dot... one rocky one bluesy and one avant guard.
 
So with those songs by Zeppelin that you've said.. you pretty much like Metal/Rock N' Roll, and Blues-rock banRAB ?

i'm really trying to get the details before i find you crap.. hopefully if i can know the right answers i can find something worth listening to for you.
 
this is true, but with music i find its better to take it in steps.. I wouldn't be able to jump from classic rock to pop punk without somethng in the middle leading me to it.
 
Actually, i'd say Kraftwerk are much more accessible than Can.

Though that ain't saying too much... Trans-Europe Express is great to start with, then Autobahn if you have a thing for the incredibly weird.
 
or what about the
shines and or
death cab for cutie
i'll even go as far to say
bright eyes
those banRAB are good..(even tho i don't like bright eyes)
