Oh, Gazza, I completely agree, that's what I was trying to say- "I like the Stones, Clash, Springsteen, etc., therefore it's likely that I would like all those other dreadful or just uninteresting acts."Quote

Odd connection to associate the Stones with those bands. I dont think they're remotely alike.
I'm a huge fan of The Stones and The Clash, yet I find every single one of the bands listed as associated with those acts utterly unlistenable. Most of those 'classic rock' acts dont really have the same roots as the Stones have. Maybe its a US thing, because none of those bands mean much outside of that country.
Most of the acts listed alongside Springsteen, who I'm also a huge fan of, I can take or leave. I dont think theres that strong of a connection.

De Bussy? Or would that be Claude Debussy?

I will not be pigeonholed into any camp, my taste in music runs the gamut of styles.
From rock, blues, punk, reggae, funk, disco, r&b, soul, folk, country, bluegrass, classical,
medieval,etc., (did I forget anything?) and most of their offshoots...even a small dose of old school rap by golly...
But of course within each style/genre, there are some seriously horrible bands/musicians that fail to move me.
I have my personal standards and know my limits...the mention of Styx for example induces a feeling of nausea in me.
For the most part, I'm all ears and open-minded to almost everything.
