If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
zzz-zzz-zzz
I'll go with the feel good blues of Clapton and SRV.

Now there's somebody who knows little about style.
One should check out Skip James "Devil Got My Woman."
The blues is flexible, so is Country and rock and jazz etc.
My father's country was great, so is mine.
Well, Screamin' Jay Hawkins did do a song called Constipation Blues. [:D]
Yeah, that's one of the three riffs I was talking about.

Of course what one likes in music is entirely subjective. Personally I can't abide Country music. (Most of it, anyway.) Blues songs have certain common elements, just like Country does. Still there's quite a lot of variations in style.

Don't get me wrong; country blows as much as blues.

I always got more joy from music in my youth! [}:)]
Cannonball Adderly...sweet sound. Beach
Hm I'd call that jazz rather than blues. But then, I haven't heard much of him.
When you signed 'Beach' I thought we'd have to start talking about Dick Dale! [:o)]

Yeah. me too.
Oremus.
You guys are too old! [:(]

OK, I'll bite.
Why?
You are saying that you enjoyed music more when you were young. That's depressing! Didn't happen to me, but then, I never grew up anyway.

Ah, but I didn't! I was replying to DancesWithSheep's post, 'To God, Who giveth joy to my youth'. Just saying that in my youth I got more joy out of music than from a god. [;)]
Well, I've been listening to blues. Now I think it's time to switch over to some Portishead...
Mississippi John Hurt
Well that Latin stuff's all Greek to me, time to put on Dillinger Escape Plan.
Iya ilsay uya arya otay oldya.
Mississippi John Hurt
Nice. What show was that? Must've been recorded just a couple of years before he died.

Oh, that hurts! (Considering my birthday was Thursday.)
And mine is Monday. I'll be one year shy of 50. Oh well.
I prefer Eric Clapton's style of Blues!
Ditto. Clapton & SRV. I call it "White Boy Blues" where the guitarist plays all the way thru instead the traditional sing a verse, play a riff. But that IS the easiest way to learn lead guitar.
For black style blues, I dig Albert Collins.
I'm not saying that Screamin' Jay Hawkins is my favourite blues artist, but I really like that song.
Billie Holiday
+1....She could do more for a song with a slight inflection in her range and tone or a change of tempo than any back-up band.
The woman knew pain....
