    At the moment - the Hunters (esp Holy Grail) to Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band (Clap Your Hands) and Sting (Moon over Bourbon Street), though depending on the mood - pretty much anything decent with a good bass line...

    My musical tastes (and my music collection)is large and varied. I can jump from Porcupine Tree to Luther Allison to Van Halen to Dizzy Gillepie to Chris Whitley to Terem Quartet to Salif Keita with ease. About the only musical styles that don't get a run are opera and country music neither of which float my boat.

    Constantly changing, but right now, can't get enough of Joe Bonamassa. Almost anything from his live DVD's Beacon Theatre and Royal Albert Hall. All up probably over 4 hours of faultless live guitarness. Sublime.

    yer Rob I must agree I've been watching fair bit of Bonamassa on youtube while in the workshop, he is amazing and saw him play live last year was a great concert.
    If you like guitar shredding check out Chickenfoot - 2 members from Van Halen, Satriani on guitar and the Chilli Peppers drummer
    Too many good bands I like to list, but mainly anything rock or blues from mid 60's to present I like.

    I didn't like Bonamassa at first, partly because he was promoted as the the next great Blues guitarist. But after listening to some of his later stuff, and coming to the realisation (mostly through Black Country Communion) that he's not the next BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughan or Albert Collins, but rather that he like Gary Moore - a rock guitarist with a strong blues upbringing that I've been able to to start liking his playing.

    I think the fact that he has matured a lot musically has helped as well.
