My number one vote would be Humble Pie....Steve Marriott and Peter Frampton.....smoking fo sho. Also Badfinger......excellent songs, great performance. Toad the Wet Sprocket to me are one of the finest bands to emerge during that era.....great guitar tones as well. The London Quireboys....out Black Crow'd the Black Crowes. The original Montrose.....that album changed my life...hahahahaha!!!!! Rock Candy baby!!!!!! There are plenty more but I'll shutup and let the collective lament.
Down like a dollar comin up against a yen, doin pretty good for the shape I'm in

Captain Beefheart's Magic Band(s)---both (1) the Trout Mask era version with Zoot Horn Rollo (Bill Harkleroad) & Jimmy Seimens and the Spotlight Kid era version with Zoot & Elliot Engber !

Then let's bring Hendrix & Lowell George back from the dead !

Soundgarden. Superunknown is one of my favorite albums of all time.

 

I assume you don't mean classic bands like Zep and the Beatles, or else my post could go on for days. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif

"Appetite For Destruction" era Guns and Roses & Thin Lizzy.

Since my wishes came true (Bruce and Adrian went back to Iron Maiden and Janick staid) maybe those will come true as well.

If it sounds god, just play the darn thing

"...and in the end.." the Beatles were always guitar driven, alot of their psychedelic stuff was done with guitars that were heavily effected in the studio. Then they left us with that great three-way guitar trade-off on Abbey Road, what a great way to go...
