In those days it was almost impossible to hear bad music. We were wherever we went surrounded by fantastic, exciting, enchanting music. In shops, pubs, clubs and private parties and when visiting friends. Everywhere fantastic music and completely different atmospheres. From folk to jazz, from soul to rock and so on, but always brilliant. It was pure abundance.

@@littlebigjohn69 Huh? Have you ever actually listened to Muddy? Not to mention most of the Brit guys couldn't sing the blues for shit or play harmonica well. Van and Steve Marriott were good singers, as was Eric B., but c'mon, Keith Relf? Jagger? Those guys couldn't hold a vocal candle to the Wolf or Slim Harpo or Junior Wells. And here's the thing, they knew it. The only truly decent harp players were Marriott and later Plant. Most of Clapton's guitar riffs in the early days were lifted from Albert King and other black guys. The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, now THAT was a band with three white guys who knew how to play blues -- probably because they learned it from the guys themselves, not by listening to records. Your comment betrays a really deaf ear and a total ignorance of how all this music developed -- go to any black gospel church on a Sunday and you'll hear the better "rock 'n' roll" ever that you will never, ever hear on a K-Tel compilation. No British rocker worth his salt would agree with your comment. You're confusing 60s rock 'n' roll with actual blues, which is a multi-faceted genre that had been around for decades before John Mayall realized it existed. Heck, just google Magic Sam for an education -- his guitar sound blows half the rockers you've heard out of the water.

Playing the blues and im not a musician but have good hearing is very simple only needs is a good voice and a good harmonica . by the way i respect your opinion and comes down to taste.
