I'm gettin into the British Blues Rock, you know, the Blues that came with rock during the british invasion of the late 60s, stuff like Ten Years After.  I really like TYA (undead, stonehedge) and Alvin lee (Pure Blues) and was looking for very similar artists, besides the obvious.  I know I should be asking somewhere else, but I don't know where.  But I trust you guys and think the people are nice so I figured I'd try my luck here since it appears that everyone is open to all kinds of music and have very eclectic tastes.

If I were you, I'd also check out the early incarnations of the Yardbirds, Alexis Korner, and even The Small Faces ('Ogden Nut Gone Flake' is as good a place to start as anywhere).

Hows about the American blues of the same period - not the 'old guard' such as BB King, Albert Collins, Albert King etc, as these go without saying - such as Johnny Winter, very early ZZ Top, Rick Derringer et al.....?

Following the advices from the above,

You will start with the yardbirds, build up to Jeff beck and cream and everything with Eric Clapton playing in it, add a little or a lot LedZep. maybe some early deep purple, definetly "Lazy"by deep purple Mrk3, a lot of John Mayall and you'd have a great blues rock album. Looking at these bands there's a lot of Yardbirds present, maybe add The small faces and Fleetwood Mac to the list also. don't forget Paul Rodgers (the Free) and American classic's like Lynnrd Skynnrd (freebird, sweet home alabama; my alltime favourite), Doobie Brothers, Johnnie Winter. So much bands, so much music and so little time.....

also well known artist like Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and more started their carreer as a session musician. some of that work still appears on anthologie albums etc. and if your lucky you find these rare albums at second-hand music stores (don't know if you'll find any cd's but elpee's are still alive and somethimes available).

If your looking for more obscure bands, I'm sorry, but one of the reasons that they are obscure is because they are not well known, so for now I have little to offer on that departement.

Don't overlook the simply wonderful Savoy Brown!!

"Looking In" is a masterpiece of garage blues rock - and it's got a great cover!

Also check out "Blue Matter", "Hellbound Train" and "Street Corner Talking".

Worth it for the covers alone (but original music...) 

/edit

Not really blues, but still worth investigating : Edgar Broughton Band's "Wasa Wasa". It's kind of on the fringe, like John Mayall's "Bare Wires" suite. A good place to start with Mayall is (after you've got "Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton") "The Blues Alone" and "Turning Point". TBA is, as the name suggests, Mayall with just a little subtle help from one or two friends, and contains some stunning blues.

Aha! Yes! Mr. Ray Vaughan - the first time I saw/heard him play, I was convinced that Jimi Hendrix was re-incarnating himself through that man. What a guitarist!

The second to last tour he did I was fortunate to see him and Jeff Beck on the same stage.  This was 1990-1?  Great is such an understatement of what that show was. I am glad I got to see him and certainly miss his music.

One of my biggest disappointments was missing out on seeing Stevie play live.

The first time his version of Little Wing was played was right after his death. I had to pull over in my car and let go the emotional flood. That tune still hits me to this day. Stevie got his point across without a word.
