The Rolling Stones = Bassholes

When My Blue Moon Turns Red Again is like the Exile On Main St of the 90's but punky and with better lyrics and drums.

I love how a parenthesis and eight always ends up being 😎

Anyways, I heard Warpaint described as Fleetwood Mac-esque before. I don't really see it, but they're great regardless, and I think you would like them. 😄

K, I don't know all of these bands well enough to go "HERE'S A SOUNDALIKE" but I can do a few I guess

For 3 or 4 check out Good Old War or Jay Brannan

For 6 check out The Wombats I guess? IDK, Arctic Monkeys sound like a lot of things to me

For 7 and 8, listen to Gotye past just Somebody That I Used to Know. Very Gabriel. Also Blue October's AMiA has a very Gabriel feel to it, though only that album.

They're not all that obscure, but you should check out Big Star. They're a great example of the 70s Power pop sort of stuff that you seem to like, and generally a fantastic band.

Simon & Garefunkel,

I'd like to suggest listening to The Louvin Brothers and Everly Brothers, even if they're not all that obscure. that's where those harmonies were perfected. for a more obscure songwriter pick, try Gene Clark (originally of The Byrds)

Here, check out the following for Led Zeppelin like bands (when first listening to music I was a fucking dad rocker and found these out). Well, I haven't listened to them in a while (exception being rose hill drive who's song "sneak out" is a song I play often in guitar hero) so apologies if it's not exactly like them, but close enough and they're still all good Hard rock type stuff:

Rose Hill Drive
The Answer
The Union
Stone Gods
Black spiders
StoneRider

I'm not sure how obscure these are considered to be, but they're not as well known I guess.

Bands similar to Led Zeppelin worth checking out: Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, Rainbow, and UFO.
