Love me some Buddy Guy and Hank III.
If you really like Buddy, the 3 disc set of "The Complete Vanguard Sessions" and "Buddy Guy & Junior Wells Play the Blues" are two excellent options. I've seen him three times live, and will go again when he is close. What a beast on the guitar. One of his newer albums is very good too, "Livin' Proof", as well as "Bring 'em In". His latest offering is pretty good, but not as good as those too.
Some other blues I would suggest are John Lee Hooker's "Best of: 1965-1974", 1992's "Boom, Boom", "Live at Soledad Prison" and "Free Beer and Chicken", which is a funk infused album featuring Joe Cocker on some vocals. Earl Hooker "Two Bugs and a Roach", "The Definitive Jimmy Vaughan", Magic Sam's "West Side Soul", Blue Brothers "A Breifcase Full of Blues", Canned Heat's "Uncanned! The Best of Canned Heat", Freddie King's "Best of the Shelter Years" (which also features Leon Russell on keys and doing the production work), Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King "In Session", Jimi Hendrix "Blues", Johnny Winter "Scorchin' Blues" and "Still Alive and Well" (as well as his latest release)....these should get you started...lol. What can I say, I'm a blues nut.
Love "Ghost to a Ghost", especially "Guttertown" and "Struggles of a Workin Man", but when Hank III is playin, I'm usually drankin, so it's typically a "Damn Right and Rebel Proud" or "Straight to Hell" kinda night....lol.

It was basically guaranteed that there would be some dude there yelling "Conduit for Sale!!" repeatedly even AFTER they'd already played the song.I saw them around the same time... Maybe a lil earlier... It was when Wowee Zowee was out... Anyway... It was at the Agora ballroom in Cleveland. I kinda expected them to be really sloppy live. They were great.
I really miss that sound, and that era of music... Those Pixies, Sonic Youth, and early Dinosaur Jr. records are some great stoner music too.
But, hell... I used to smoke some herb, and listen to Minor Threat. They probably won't get many mentions in this thread.

I'm partial to that Muddy Waters 1947- 1952. Anything by Howlin' Wolf. I like that primative delta sound. That shit sounds just as good hittin' a bottle as it does hitting a bong[emoji2] .
Hank III does his grandpappy proud... He's nothing like Sr., and just like him at the same time... I think Hank Jr is a lil suspect though. He's got his moments, but they're few and far between for me.

Agree on all points. I have some Muddy....a two disc Wolf set....and another Delta gone Chicago blues master.....Elmore James. Early Hooker is as delta as it gets. Just John....his guitar....and his foot keeping time.
For me, Hank Jr's best works are deep cuts you seldom hear.

100% agree. Sr and 3 are far away my favorites, Jr.......not so much.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth has a place in this thread. I'd listen to that front to back in my younger days. Still do now on long drives from time to time. It's atmospheric as an album can be. Never fails to remind me of high school girlfriends for some reason.

Bob Dylan and The Band--The Basement Tapes

To hear Alvin do Spoonful is worth the price of admission. Willie Dixon, what a songwriter, huh?

You must have been really stoned. When you hit five, you were just getting started. Good stuff.

Yes sir, thats the album. 'Let's talk about cars' is a mix between a track interlude and that look your buddy gives you when he says you'll be fine. You have to listen to the entire track to understand where im coming from here.

From years and years of research.

I'm old, but I think Uplift Mojo Party Plan is still a hell of a RHCP album.
