Okay, I'll skim. I saw Ian McCulloch in there, Airborne Toxic, couple others that seem weird enough to be fresh.

I wonder if there are any other blues fans on hubski. It'd be fun to have some kinda of example-laced discussion about the genre's history. A lot of blues sounds very similar, and like the old country stuff (Hank Williams etc) it's very tied to a time and place and attitude. Listening to the blues on the subway going to work dressed in a suit just doesn't sit right. That sounds stupid and elitist -- like, music should be good enough where the kind of thing doesn't matter! -- but it's in my opinion crucial. Let's consider this an open debate. I'll try to post some more blues to hubski.

The Beatles, it should be noted, were devout blues fans.
