Great idea Adrienne. When I was in high school, I had some friends who were in a band. The lead guitarist was a virtuoso. By the time he was 16, the best local guitar teacher told Joe he had nothing left to teach him and made him an assistant teacher. Then one day he decided to take up piano. Within 5 months he gave a concerto at a local college. Anyway, when he saw my album collection, he asked if I was schizophrenic as I had music from many genres, rock, hard rock, heavy metal, southern rock, blues, bluegrass, and jazz. There are a few genres that just make my skin crawl, but I won't name those...
The last couple of years, the one album that really stands out for me is Candlebox. They only put out one or two albums. Their first album, which is self titled, has a great mix of rock, blues and grundge.
Here is a sample:
Cover Me
You (strong language at the end)
Far Behind
Enjoy!
