Blues "must have, top 100" list?


Anyone know of any "must have, top 100" type blues lists?
I just worked my way through a similar Jazz list, and found some incredible tunes.

Thanks,

Ed

I hope that helps.
They sound really good,although the vocals on Second Winter are still a little hot on the opening number. Both of these CD's have extra tracks but Second Winter has a whole Disc of Johnny Live at the Royal Albert Hall with his brother and it just gets going.They performed Frankenstien for the first time on this concert and it sounds different.
Also look for the Legacy Edition of Muddy Mississippi Waters Live with Johnny on lead guitar on some cuts. Muddy gets in some solid licks AND it to comes with a bonus disc of Muddy and his band live at a club two days later when he was going through new material for his King Bee album(I picked up a copy of King Bee still sealed on Vinyl Saturday for 6.99!). Also Muddy Waters Fathers and Sons was remastered on Cd and all the bonus tracks are great and The Paul Butterfield blues band are the ones backing him on this.
"The Progressive Blues Experiment" that Johnny recorded before his Columbia debut has been re mastered too. It is great and has the same band as Johnny Winter and 2nd Winter and it also sounds good. Enjoy
