no sir, no one insulted YOU. That was what YOU did to JB and the OP and others looking for more of JB's material in this thread.

I'm taking nothing personal, YOU were the one who took it personal that some of us would like listening to JB and felt the need to share that with us...then YOU decided to tell anyone looking for his material to avoid it and listen to the Black keys instead...and then YOU called him the fresh prince of the blues or whatever.

i'm done with it man. so far in your first 190 posts we have found out that you like football and don't like JB. I look forward to your next 190 posts.

Cheers!

But see, I'm a fan of all blues....i like blues rock, delta blues, west coast blues, etc...

edit: i have a new found respect for some of JM's music after not liking his music much at first. hell, i am even starting to like the BK's a little bit after seeing a concert of theirs the other night.

Yep!

From what I heard on clips, his style seems to blend hard rock & blues.

Can some Bonomassa fans lead me to some his best songs (concerning great guitar riffs/licks)?

Note: I prefer really soulful material.

Thanks ahead. -H

I would probably say pick a Gary Moore album from his later Blues Years.

Wow. I never knew there was an anti-JB group here.
I hear a lotta talk about him and have not heard one bad comment yet.
Maybe he is seen as someone who is defiling true blues with all of the rock shreds?
After some time listening, I think he is very good, but not the guitarist that I want to look to for current inspiration.

I really really love the soulful playing of Page on Since ive been loving you.
That's the type of playing I am after right now.

Any time you mention JB's name here you will get someone that has to post how much they dont like him.....IE:from the first page. "I'd Start with the Black Keys and hopefully you can avoid this blues /rock drivel!!!...This guy is to the blues = what the fresh prince of Bel Air is to gangsta rap!!"....Has nothing to do with the OP's question as to where to start in the JB catalog. It's just a "I hate JB Blah Blah Blah......" If I don't like an artist I avoid reading or posting threads about them....
