Perhaps Clutch. They’re neat and kinda bluesy, but I’m not sure if they deserve the “blues” before “metal.”

Congrats Elvis Guru, well deserved!
I’d give Tyr by Black Sabbath about a 4.5 or a 5. It’s a pretty weak album in all honesty.

The White Stripes. People say that they are blues. I don’t hear it.
MA: Make Believe – Weezer
I give it a 6.5 or 7 out of 10. The lyrics are too generic and sissy.

They’re influences are blues and bluesesque.. so, somehow I guess that makes them bluesy. ;/ ? I guess.. In some songs, you can hear *elements*, but definitely not anything worth categorizing them as blues.

You’re anti-Bono, I worship you already.
It’s just the influence, Slash does have a real bluesy sound, but deep down, THEY’RE ROCK!
MA: Still horrid. Judas Priest goes hair metal, uggggggh…. -.-

Umm, mid ’60s Dylan and the assorted backup band stuff. Like Highway 61…. and Blonde on Blonde.
MQ: Squeeze by The Velvet Underground (minus Sterling, Lou, Mo and Cale; though he had been gone since ‘68).
Could you call it an album by The Velvets since it’s just Doug Yule?

Right, I don’t see GNR as blues, AC/DC has the blues scales in their solos.
My fav band is CCR, the weakest album is Mardi Gras, although it’s still fair, thank God for Sweet Hitch Hiker.
