I like John Lee Hooker, he is a very influential man. I hate it when B.B. King gets all the publicity as the great blues man, when in truth John Lee Hooker always should have overshadowed him, IBO.


I don't understand why you think they are bad at blues? I mean they have always been a great timed band, the guitars are always good while not the greatest at blues, and while vocals can get old if you listen at length: they are still a very solid blues band.
I concede that they are white people. Maybe that is why you don't think they are good at blues.
