I don't really like rock at all
But Blues and soul, well now you are talking.
Your list is good and clearly inerror you didn't put james brown top but some obvious omissions include the following
Soul:
Otis redding
Solomon Burke (as the years have gone by the more i appreciated his true genius)
Sam and dave
Wilson pickett
Al Green
anne peebles (a wonderful underrated singer)
Eddie Flloyd
Marvin gaye
william 'Smoke' robinson
sly stone

and George Clinton/William 'Bootsy' Collins and the whole parliament/Funkadelic thing.

and what about the temptations, the four tops

and more recent R&B groups such as War (now the lowrider band), earth Wind and Fire and Tower of power.

Blues (and a bit of rock and roll)
Where is Howlin Wolf
little walter
muddy waters
chuck berry
little richard
albert king
freddie king
sonny boy williamson
leadbelly
big bill broonzy
robert johnson

and the ones i listed are just the best known there are are hundreds of great lesser know stars.

for me also hendrix is not blues or soul, he is more rock than anything else

I am regressing to my prog rock days so have been hitting Marillion (pre- and post-Fish), Fish, Camel Genesis and Pallas big time recently.

Other current faves are Elbow, Muse, Floyd, Hard Fi, Art Pepper, Example, Gil Scott-Heron, The Bravery, ACDC, etc so my tastes are a bit all over the place.

[rusty shackleford]

My favourite band is Alice in Chains followed closely by TV on the Radio and Pearl Jam.

Stuff ive been into forever is grungy/heavy stuff like Nirvana, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Metallica, Soundgarden, NIN, and all that.

Stuff i am currently enjoying that is relatively new is Foals, Friendly Fires, Interpol, Vampire Weekend, Crystal Fighters and so on

I like a bit of everything really!

Everyone swaying towards rock instead of the crap out there today, very pleasing.

I really like folk/prog based rock/metal. Really hard to explain. There's a band that sums it up greatly called Ayreon that have heavy guitars, synths etc along with flute solos, violin solos, and a new one for me - uilleann pipes.

It's more of a project with guest musicians and vocalists, bigger names who have provided vocals/solos in Ayreon include Bruce Dickinson, Rick Wakeman, Fish (seen above in this thread), Steve Hackett.

Ayreon - The Theory of Everything Phase III: Entanglement

Would much rather listen to a good cd than any film/tv show.

[Forever Fulham]

My daughter found my old albums.  Now she's playing David Sylvian's "September" and "Orpheus" tracks over and over again.  And Chet Baker's live version of "My Funny Valentine" (sublime). And Joni Mitchell's "Amelia".  She has a fine eclectic taste that my 'only rap' son is lacking.  I'll never get my Neil Young, Stevie Wonder, Weather Report, Miles Davis, Teddy Pendergass, and Marvin Gaye albums back.

 K33NY- I was joking by the way.

Really: I love the blues (almost anyone) and then many many more types - it's very difficult to pick. I think the question would be answered differently each day depending on mood swings!

All I can say is Cream, Gary Moore, Pink Floyd, Camel, Greenslade, BB King, Rolling Stones, Snap, Mozart, Pet Shop Boys, Communards, Led Zeppelin.......
I could go on for a month!

It's easier to say that all music has it's good and it's bad!

By the way when I say Pet sHop boys and Communards  I am only liking 1 or 2 releases rather than whole albums!

[MOR :]

I like a wide variety of music & bands...

Brighouse and Rastrick Band
St. Winnifreds School Choir
Joe Dolce Music Theatre
Goombay Dance Band
Windsor Davies and Don Estelle
The Archies
Althia & Donna
Floaters
Simon Park Orchestra
Typically Tropical
Norman Greenbaum
Renée and Renato
Toni Basil

I practically listen to everything...isn't music wonderful. I'd prefer listening to my music than watching the TV.
Music is music...Yes some music doesn't appeal to certain eardrums but that doesn't mean it isn't special in it's own way...

[LRCN]

i listen to everything, especially hip hop - but its such a diverse genre that doesn't really say anything specific at all. but funk, soul, jazz, indie, metal, electronica, trap... flying lotus & long arm are the two producers getting most play from me right now. i'm also managing editor over at thewordisbond.com, a hip-hop blog.

i bought a sampler, roland sp 404 sx, so im hoping to get in to production now.

Ayreon are amazing, The Human Equation is one of my absolute favourite albums ever.  Just ridiculously good.

At the moment, I've been listening to a load of Clutch (having ignored them for way, way too long), the latest Cloudkicker album is fantastic (as is the back catalogue) and entirely free and legit on BandCamp, the last Tesseract album is magnificent ("djent" for anyone who has heard the term...).

Last year was actually pretty amazing for hard rock/metal/alt - Shining, Leprous, Alice in Chains, Dillinger Escape Plan, Soilwork, Enslaved, Cult of Luna all released stupid good albums.

Also listened to a lot of Trans Siberian Orchestra over Xmas/New Year, because there ain't nothing like Christmassy prog!
