I've got a CD collection that runs to about 650+ (that doesn't count MP3's I've got). My taste runs to Blues, in particular OLD recordings, because as a child of the'60's, I listened with abandon to artists like John Mayall, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, The Stones, and any number of other people. These folks did covers of old blues tunes, but I didn't know that at the time, I thought they were new songs. One day I was saying how great I thought "Crossroads" by Cream was, and a buddy of mine played the original of it by Robert Johnson. It just plain stopped me dead, and since then, I've been trying to find original versions of a many tunes as I can; you wouldn't believe what the original of "Statesboro Blues" by Blind Willie McTell sounds like.

i love all that golden age and silver age blues stuff. And i love the high powered blues of the late sixties too, as you say, Cream, but also Mountain, Grand Funk, Canned Heat, Fleetwood Mac (the originals, not the hairdressers), Aerosmith et cetera. There's so much good music out there, but i like a lot of other stuff too!
