I was quite fond of Blues-Rock in the 1980s, but it's definitely not one of my favourite genres today. If I include though some albums which I think of as being on the borderline between Blues-Rock and Psychedelic Rock, then I can have a top 10. That is when also including one of my favourite albums in the '80s, which I'm not so fond of anymore but enough to wanting keep it in my collection instead of just getting rid of it. But here they are, in alphabetical order: Big Brother & The Holding Company (USA) - Cheap Thrills (1968) Blind Faith (UK) - Blind Faith (1969) Breakout (PL) - 70a (1970) J.J.Cale (USA) - Troubadour (1976) Cream (UK) - Disraeli Gears (1967) Cream - Wheels of Fire (1968) Robben Ford (USA) - Talk to Your Daughter (1988) The Jimi Hendrix Experience (USA) - Electric Ladyland (1968) The Rolling Stones (UK) - Sticky Fingers (1971) Ten Years After (UK) - Rock & Roll Music To The World (1972) ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

I enjoy a lot Breakout's 70a which I can think of as a kind of progressive Blues-Rock. Here's a track about the bloody tradition of bull fighting: ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

In terms of what I actually own: Stray Dog (featuring Snuffy Walden) . They were on ELP's Manticore label in the seventies and their debut is greatDerek and The Dominoes - Layla and Other Love Songs (classic!) Led Zep II and literally I'm out at this point. I did think of listing a bunch of Tull albums but that might be trolling lol. |

Ten Years After's Rock & Roll Music To The World has quite special sound, and I've been very fond of this album since its release in 1972. Not least this track: ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |
