Haven't heard any of those as I know of. I'll be checking them out tonight though.

There's so many incredible artists/songs out there, I can't see getting them all. Originally, I sat down and figured I'd make a list of great/legendary artists. About the time I got a list. A new wave of songs and artists flooded my mind.

BB King definitely has a few that could be considered ''The Best.'' as well a SRV. The list is literally endless.
