Good luck if this is going to be a series. I doubt you'll get much attention, even if you pull out some old school rock that has influenced the bands that the members on here love so much.

Long live the great alternative rock acts of the 60s and 70s. Kinks, Blue Cheer, Stooges, 13th Floor Elevators, Yardbirds, Cream, etc. I didnt live then but I think these are the bands I'd be listening to while the rest of the world was idolizing John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, and Brian Wilson.

Here's my threadjack - Summertime Blues by Blue Cheer, possibly the first hard rock album ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU5uDozoSSM
