So here's my dilemma. I love the sound of slide guitar and lap steel guitar. The problem is I can't stand pop country or 12 bar blues or blues rock. I'm trying to put together a collection of slide guitar music that isn't annoying. So far I have:
Your Sweet Voice - Matthew Sweet
Winona - Matthew Sweet
She'll Come Back to Me - Cake
The Golden Age - BeckAny other suggestions?

A lot of old Little Feat tunes have slide guitar, and they aren't blues or country.

Iron & Wine

"The problem is I can't stand pop country or 12 bar blues or blues rock. "
so basically, you don't like the blues
- I like Tom Waits and Neil Young but they're only blues influenced. Not that boring 12 bar crap.ninjasavant
- perhaps i'm being thick, but i don't think 12 bar blues means what you think it means7point34
- I tend to overgeneralize. I play drums so I know what it is but there's a fine line for boring blues and something interestingninjasavant
- i was just being a jerk by insinuating that most all popular music is 12-bar blues7point34
- as you were7point34
- ooooh, i get it. . .ninjasavant

All the Zep and Floyd stuff is great but it's still blues based. Also I think RHCP - Scar Tissue has some slide.
