wtf? i'm disappointed that no one has even mentioned bo diddly. if not outta interest then at least outta respect for the man T_T.
but one of my top favorites has to be oak cliff T-bone. some might know him by T-bone walker. i just like to call him by oak cliff T-bone because it pays homeage to where he originally started and its where i'm from ^_^.
oh yea, and its not really to hard to know the blues. it generally follows a very strict musical pattern as well as a strict lyrical pattern. if you shot a man in Memphis, its the blues. if you shot a man in Memphis and he lived, then its not the blues.
That was teh lulz referring to the last comment[I read that thing]
I had Bo Diddley as my avatar for a while, and I have the entire Bo Diddley discography. It don't get much more bad ass than Daddy Bo.
And RL Burnside bleeds (bled) the blues. Shot a man in North Mississippi over a dice game.

Weird how I hadn't seen this topic until now O_o
I really enjoy listening to the blues though it could be said I'm still pretty callow xD I've listened mostly to my parents' albums of John Lee Hooker and B.B King, but I have also heard some stuff by Robert Johnson, Howlin Wolf and Muddy Waters.
Going over the suggestions in the topic right now, thank you for that 🙂
