I've been slackin', but it's great to see you guys have been keeping this rollin' with so many cool posts.
My Jam at the moment is Eric McFadden. Saw the dude play a few years ago when he made a guest appearance at a Gov't Mule show at the Wiltern and he and Warren tore it up on Funkadelic's "Maggot Brain" (video: )
He's got such a diverse, eclectic and theatrical sound that combines classical/flamenco guitar, heavy blues riffs and a gravely storytelling voice reminiscent of Tim Waits. He's a good guy to just put on shuffle because there's a real variety to the sound and it's all great.
Some cuts to give an idea of that diversity of sound:
And for fun, he did a whole album of AC/DC covers:

I went to a bar in Brooklyn last week and I heard this song for the first time that I know of: Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd
dude.... dude.
Interesting that you just recently first heard or first noticed this song. It got a lot of FM play in its day and remains a signature song of the band. There was so much good rock in the day that those of us who grew up in the 60's and 70's have consciously forgotten dozens upon dozens of equally really great songs from those years. _________________ "A metronome keeps time by using a Ringo"

I stopped listening to the radio a while ago, but when I was listening, I never tuned to classic rock stations. It's probably a damned well-played song. I do not recall it hearing it in any advertisements or movies that I've ever seen and it definitely wasn't on the oldies, alternative, or hip hop playlists for the stations that I listened to.
The lyrics are heavy and more mood-inducing than any of the genre's songs that I know, which are pitifully few, but piling rapidly. The most comparable, to me, at least, would be stairway. I'd be grateful for all recommendations. _________________ "All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers."

Mood inducing for someone else is gonna hit and miss, and folk may not move you, but this song is certainly mood inducing for me, considering their story:

Yep. We did a road trip to Park City over the Xmas break and put the satellite radio on Sirius's Classic Vinyl channel and my wife and I were commenting on how many really great cuts tat we used to love and listen to all the time that we hadn't thought of in decades. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

I just danced through 15 minutes worth of dishes, kitchen cleanup and taking out the trash with this on repeat.

I dig it!
Cool video too, I want to go there...
It looks like they play locally quite a bit, might have to catch them next time they come around!
I found this one too from them, don't hold the Warriors shirt against the drummer:
That one's in my rotation as well. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

Here's a good 80's tune, that I only recently became of aware of, through watching a Killers concert from Glasgow.
- Killers cover it.

I am an inconsistent Metallica fan, but when Lars and the boys go hard, they go hard:

Hard metal, and its many derivative sub categories, is one of my least favorite categories of rock. But then there is LA's own Metallica who do it so well they are hard not to like. _________________ "A metronome keeps time by using a Ringo"
