Blind Willie McTell
Robert Johnson
Howlin' Wolf
Sleepy John Estes
Muddy Waters
Willie Dixon
John Lee Hooker
Son House

I don't know who else.

Led Zeppelin live blues medleys.
Elvis' bluesy rock n roll.

This is a good thread idea. Anything else I should check out?

Any experts here?

John Lee Hooker and it isn't even close. Oh, wait a minute. I forgot Robert Johnson. I guess it is kinda close.

Chicago style and "Big Mama" style Blues sucks.
