They piqued my interest enough to dig deeper into "real" blues, the down and dirty stuff.

My musical tastes have been (politely) referred to as "eclectic" by everyone from my brothers and sister to old roommates to my wife and kids. Scratchy old blues recordings and late '60's through late '70's "prog rock" get equal billing at the top, with equal measures of folk and metal thrown in to keep it interesting. And if that isn't enough, I've begun exploring old jazz recordings. It's all wonderful music... Just no rap or techno, please...

Sounds like me. I dig classic rock, blues, jazz, prog rock, folk, classical, and even electronic (techno, drum and bass, trance, ambient). Not so much on the country and even less on the rap.
