John Lee Hooker! He sat in with a band I was in in the early 90s in Redwood City, CA.
John Lee Hooker in a word....dark, gets no more darker than this.

Well, I need to know how long a period is this desert island thing going to be because, if it's years , then this rock music stuff is going to get very tedious. I'd go for more complex stuff. classical music or modern jazz, and maybe a bit of Eastern music. The sort of recordings that would keep a person entertained but with lots of meat to challenge the ear...brain. Of course, I'd want one album of "light" listening, to doze off to.
