Nor for a change of pace, literally:
Someone took an Alvin & The Chimpmunks album of cover tunes from the late 1980’s and slowed it down immensely and it sounds like a hardcore postpunk masterpiece.

Allman Brothers " Live at Fillmore East" could easily be put in my top ten ! I get a woody (TMI) when I hear In Memory of Elizabeth Reed or the opening bass lines of Whipping Post.

I’m familiar with everything on your list, and enjoy all of it. The BB King album is one of my favorites but for some reason I haven’t thought about it for a long time. I’m listing to it today and remembering how much I enjoy it. Thanks for the reminder.
Glad I could help jog your musical memories

I am loving all the great Blues love here in the thread lately. Keep it up folks.
Quick story, as a senior in high school I went and saw the Blues Brothers movie and all was fine and good until John Lee Hooker showed up on screen playing Boom Boom Boom. That is when this white-bread Utah boy really had his mind blown for the first time. I remember saying to my friend, “What was that? Wow!” (and that was for just that snippet). A year or so later, a friend got tickets to see BB King at Symphony Hall and took me along, which also blew me away. I then met and become friendly with a guy who did a Monday Blues show on the old KRCL and he really opened my mind up to great stuff. I was done for at that point. Loved it all since.

How could you take the 6th over the 9th, when the latter comes closer than anything to proving the existence of God?

Because the 6th is The Pastoral.

Sorry, but “If 6 was 9” by Jimi proves there is something beyond !

Honestly, I cannot argue with you, as all nine of The Symphonies come as close as anything to convincing my soul of the existence of God. Its just, that for me, (and apparently @NewbombTurk) nothing does it better than The Pastoral.
I can literally be having the worst day of my life, and the first four bars of the his sixth symphony will cause me to forget all else.

Interesting song by these guys. John Kay is not the lead singer on this one.
Wilco was at Red Butte on Sunday. They always put on a great show.
