Best Guitar Band part11

Hi all, Shurbertmaniac started a good thread "best guitar band". He started with a real Classic and great band from the mid 60's (Yardbirds). Many great artist evolved from this band along with some great Tracks. Many responded with some great bands (thanks) from the late 60's to present. Lets keep it coming with more great "guitar bands" which will help many add to their collection. Thanks to those who mentioned Quick Silver Messenger Service, keep forgetting to add this great band to my collection. Remember the James Gang. Lets keep it going, Merry Christmas.

Can I get an amen for Parliment/Funkadelic, Television and the original Electric Flag. Mike Bloomfield seems to be a forgotten guitar hero, but he's arguably the best "white boy" blues player ever. The first EF album, "A Long Time Comin'", has some of the finest guitar playing I've ever heard. Bloomfield was magnificent!

61: Yes on Television, I have been unable to locate the albums (only two, red and black?) on CD. Do they exist? I listened to Electric Flag but cannot remember the sound and Super Session used to be everyone's favorite in the early 70's. It was almost degrading for Bloomfield to OD on Valium, which was considered to be a "lightweight" drug for housewives at the time (no offense Elizabeth or anyone else, those were the times, my wife'e mother died from a Valium overdose as well). Sorry that they went with anything though. I remember Parliment as being mostly brass, but they have gone through many reincarnations. Brings to mind Hot Chocolate "You Sexy Thing." I believe in miracles.

We should'nt forget the Paul Butterfield Blues Band with both Mike Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop. East-West is one of my all-time favorites. Another guitar great who had his own band for a while (Christo Redentor and Games Guitars Play) but also played in various bands (Canned Heat, Rolling Stones, etc.) is Harvey Mandel.
