Another one of my favorite groups that combine blues, psychedelia, and progressive rock in their music?
Its the group Krokodil. They play many different types of instruments including harmonica, sitar, acoustic and electric guitars. I decided to put of 3 songs from them on my youtube page. check them out and tell me what you think.

i hear you kermit. so, what is your least favorite current band?
I've been a fan of this band since the late 60's/early 70's Artist...great stuff! Many referred to them as a Krautrock band, when in fact they were Swiss. I saw them live in Holland with the Danish group 'Burnin Red Ivanhoe', and Hungarian band 'Locomotive GT' in around 1972.
My favorite Krokodil album was/is their 3rd titled 'An Invisible World Revealed'. The follow up was great also, 'Getting Up For the Morning'....it's front cover was classic:

The back cover depicted the same type of layout, with the band all cleaned up and tidy!
Their 1st two albums were cool also, and featured a more blues/rock approach. Those original vinyl pressings on the German 'Liberty' and 'United Artists' labels are now worth a fair a bit today, as they are quite rare. I still have all of mine, and they're pristine!
Artist, if you'd like to hear more by this band, go into my Yahoo 360 blog and scroll down to my Imeem jukebox. I have several Krokodil tunes beginning at track # 1,700.
Here's a few of them if anyone is interested...'Schooldays' has always been a favorite of mine. 'Lady of Attraction' is nice too, with it's cool vocal effect achieved by a Leslie speaker:

MQ: My least favorite current band? Wow...there's so many! One that comes to mind immediately though is 'Torche'...overrated riffage/noise...a poor mans Kyuss perhaps?
If that means anything! Lol
