^ Welcome aboard MD, mbk! You have quite a musical variety here, No prog rock, prog metal,,,or the Beatles?...lol..very impressed that you mentioned the unheralded great Canadian guitarist Don Ross! I met his beautiful wife, Brook Miller once, she cut my hair...an able musician and artist in her own right!

How could I forget The Beatles?! They are legends. I guess I should include Elvis (king of rock) and Michael Jackson (king of pop) as well.

I have been using Pandora to find new music, but I thought I would post on here to find some more obscure artists. Any recommendations?

That is awesome that you met Don Ross' wife! I wasn't sure what Genre to put Don in. He is very unique.
