A couple of fellows who let their fingers do most of their talking:

Jeff Beck
Peter Frampton

'Musical quality is superior in Jazz groups however for the most part. I would rather listen to Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, Ben Webster, the Hot Five, or Guy Lombardo than the above usually!'

Sounds like you should start a Jazz Link. I'm game. I've posted some reviews from recent Carnegie Hall concerts here in SI. Now to find them... Which reminds me, the CH Jazz Band isn't too shabby, now that you mention it...

Live
or
Heart

Heart was one of my favorite live bands. The first time I ever heard Heart they were opening for April Wine and I thought they were great, tremendous high energy and beautiful ballads.

One of the most memorable performances I have attended was Ella Fitzgerald at the Roy Thompson Hall, wonderful singer, awesome musicians playing with her and just all around "great music".

There is a lot of great rock on your list and some of those bands will surely contend for "best band" in the minds of many readers. I think you were very lucky (or old <g>) to have heard all those bands. The Doors were done before I ever put the vinyl on the spindle.

Audiophile records, counterweighted styluses, expensive needles, ahhh the good old days.
I wonder, does anyone have any "audiophile recordings" they still listen too.
