Basically, MMJ and Wilco on shuffle 24/7. Smattered with some Kurt Vile, Jose Gonzalez, Tedeschi Trucks and a handful of surf rock bands like Mystic Braves, The Growlers and my favorite Allah-Las.

I'm very much the kind of listener who will spin a record or 2 nonstop for a month until I wear it out. Those for me right now are:

Tame Impala
WOD
Twin Limb

MMJ, DBT, and PJ have a lot in common. Long shows that vary from night to night, very fan oriented, real deep catalogs. What separates MMJ/DBT from PJ is you can see them from the front of the pit for $50 with little more effort than good planning.

A lot of great bands / personal favorites on this list.  And nice to see the Stone Roses get some love.  Their debut is epic!

Probably my favorite Bluesman. Such a smooth voice, plus the obvious talent on guitar even with those big old fingers. Can't go wrong.

I'm at work right now, but accept my apology for not thoroughly reading everyone's list and forgetting to list the Allah-Las. You have a great list, probably because you're bearded I'm sure. I agree with you outta the bunch Allah Las are my favorite too. I remember reading an interview with Neil Young about how he was waiting for modern bands to write war protest songs. Bushman's Hoilday isn't a protest song, but it's such a great song for vets or anyone really. Just one of the many good songs by them.

That it was.  Too bad they couldn't get out of the way of their egos long enough to put out more great music...  :undecided:

Isn't that the truth!  Second Coming was a huge letdown.  A couple okay tracks, but nothing close to the genius of their debut.
