Your missing, the real blues singer's like Marvin Sease and Johnny Taylor. Lil Milton, Bo Diddley the person who invented blues. Robert Johnson, and many more you can't call these the top 11 blues songs of all time. I can tell you didn't ask real blues fans and is not one yourself, you just disrespected the genre.
Thanks for the comment Rob. I tried to blend the past with the current so I may have missed some of who you mentioned. The title was meant to spur conversation like you have started. I am planning on doing a part 2 and would love your input. I received some other great feedback on other sites as well. My goal was not to disrespect the genre but bring more attention and spark discussion. Please don't get my intentions wrong. Hit me up at Amani at mirthnadir with your list and I can incorporate it into part 2. Thanks again for giving me your opinion. it will help me improve for the next time.
Mirth, cd "Gotta Get the Groove Back" is a blues classic. You also have ZZ Hill, Lil Milton, Bobby Blus Bland, Marvin Sease, Tyrone Davis, Bobby Womack, Clarence Carter, Percy Sledge, Robert Johnson, John lee Hooker and many many more!
Man, this is whats up. Albert King's "Born Under A Bad Sign" is flames. Glad you showed love to Steve Ray too!
