I like Hard Rock/Heavy Metal, but I like the co-ordinated stuff. The music that actually has some talent. I like almost all types of music. Jazz and Blues etc. I'm going to make a Blues compilation CD for work and I need some song ideas. The music i'm listening to isn't as audible with certain equipment operating, so I figured Blues music wouldn't synchonize it's rhythm to the machinery etc. What's some good blues music?

There are TONS of good blues bands out there. Start out simple...here is a good progression of blues bands and some specific albums to check out:

Robert Johnson
Willie Dixon - I Am the Blues
Muddy Waters - Electric Mud
Howlin' Wolf
Buddy Guy - Sweet Tea or Buddy's Baddest
Lightning Hopkins - Trip On Blues
B.B. King
Eric Clapton
Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble
Robert Cray

You'd be surprised how much of music, even...ugh...metal, stems from blues. Hope that helped, I'll post more if I think of them.

My recent favorites are

Clayton Senne
Betty Davis
Luke Mulholland
Muddy Waters

I don't really know much about blues, but is the blues in Blues Brother classed as good blues music?

Short answer Yes!!...I have the soundtrack and it is a good place to start if you want to check out the blues.

i think it depends on what youre into really, ya got texas blues, nola blues, chicago blues... im really into dark blues, kinda progressive and sad sounding. you should check out a band called jeremy kilgore... look them up, or check them out on myspace.. kinda pink floydish, with a newer darker twist

MySpace.com - jeremy kilgore - BAYTOWN, Texas - Acoustic / Folk Rock / Indie - www.myspace.com/jeremykilgoreband

I L-O-V-E this album!

Continuum-John Mayer

I know he usually makes pop music or whatever,but this album is a great blues record and I think John did an amazing job on it.
