No dance music... (or Beatles)

You know the sort of thing - two guitars, bass, drums and vocals..

for me it has o be the Beachboys. Early stuff like Little Deus Coupe and God Only Knows and All Summer Long for starters

Easy

NIRVANA!!

I listen to their music most days, especially a lot of the live bootleg stuff, absolutely electric always makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck.

They persuaded a lot of people to pick up a guitar and play (me included) and their music is so simple, catchy and... perfect

Me a freak? Never

Gotta be Skynrd or AC/DC but early Ozzy stuff with Randy Rhodes is pretty tremendous.

Like nearly all the bands mentioned so far

Got to mention Van Halen though - Eddie determined the sound of every rock guitarist that followed.

UFO with Schenker were pretty good too

And Neil Schon from Journey is a great guitarist.....

......Bruce Springsteen........ the list goes on

Good examples
The Clash - White Man in the Hammersmith Palais
The Only Ones - Another Girl, Another Planet
The Who - Baba O'Reilly
Van Halen - Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love.

Bad examples: Anything by The Alarm, Uriah Heep, or The Tygers of Pan Tang. And the less said about Venom the better.

bros

edited cos I forgot Van Halen

Spelling never was my strong point, could you do better after a few beers and typing whilst eating a spam sandwich, crisps and pickled onions

Oh, and I've got the fold out Vixen poster too.
