8. Junior Wells "Hoodoo Man Blues"

is one of the hippest albums from the 60s and one of the greatest Chicago blues albums of all time. Junior on vocals and harp (harmonica), Buddy Guy on guitar, Jack Myers on bass, and Fred Below on drums.

The acoustics are awesome- a must-have blues album. It is so funky you can smell it!

[Squeech]

9. San Francisco bands!

Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service, the Grateful Dead, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Country Joe and the Fish...

Also (from L.A.) the Byrds, the Doors, Love, Spirit. And of course Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.

H.P. Lovecraft (who originally came from Chicago).

The Beatles. The Rolling Stones. Cream. Hendrix.

The Beach Boys. Count me as one of those who deeply regrets that Brian Wilson never finished Smile.

Simon & Garfunkel. Joni Mitchell. Bob Dylan. Phil Ochs.

And, not that I knew about them then, Soft Machine, Silver Apples, Lothar and the Hand People, Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band, Fifty Foot Hose, United States of America, and this weird little band that used to play the UFO Club all the time, whatever happened to them, they were called Purple Clyde or something :D
