I couldn't disagree more if you're talking being melodic and creative with I-IV-V blues.
*cough*
Just 3 out of more examples than you can count.

The same could be said for a lot of the Classic Rockers, or Shredders, or Country Rockers, or Death/Black/Doom/etc. Thrashers...........

You kinda clarified your point after I made that post.
At first sounded like you were speaking a lot more in general.

I couldn’t have been clearer. One scale in the key of the song .

"Blues" in general isn't hugely appealing to me. But when well-done, it can be quite interesting.
I was at a Nascar race in Darlington, relaxing in the RV. A few rows over, I heard a band start playing. It was all blues-based, but it was good stuff, I could tell they were well-rehearsed, and the music, while being all originals, held my interest. Not something I'd have bought a ticket for, but I liked what I heard.
But it wasn't until maybe the third song that I realized each song was essentially I-IV-V. Once I noticed that, I started to pay closer attention, only to hear the next few songs were also based around a I-IV-V chord structure! I was pleasantly surprised that a band could stay completely in that progression, yet write some really good songs! It was a sort of, lightbulb-over-the-head moment for me.
Learned something new that day.

I used to see BB king and Buddy Guy when they came to the UK I saw SRV as well. I have nothing against great players in any genre."Blues" in general isn't hugely appealing to me. But when well-done, it can be quite interesting.

Agreed. Still though, 5 songs and I was pretty much done. (But at least it was 5, and not 3, like when I saw Yngwie on G3!

Yngwie was amazing when he first came over here with Alcatraz .Agreed. Still though, 5 songs and I was pretty much done. (But at least it was 5, and not 3, like when I saw Yngwie on G3!
I don’t like Great White, so, by default, I guess that covers the guitarist, too. But not for the reason you may think. Anytime I get a free trial on XM radio, I always land on Ch 39, Hair Nation.
What I realized is that every f’g 4th song is a Great White song. If I hear that stupid 12-bar intro to Once Bitten…I’m convinced it’s intentional for some cost reason, but haven’t figured that out yet.

Speaking of radio (in cars specifically, I suppose), there's no reason you need to listen programmed XM radio etc when pretty much all cars nowadays have at least a USB port or Bluetooth connection. For example, you could easily load up a USB stick (and they make super tiny ones with huge amounts of storage now) with all your favorite tunes (typically .mp3 format - 320kbps recommended), plug it in to your car stereo and press play.

Aw, yeeee-yuh!
I just don’t know what we meant by MC. Could be Mariah Carey or Miley Cyrus.
