I don't quite understand The Rolling Stones being here?
Anyway, some possible recs: American Music Club ("San Francisco" LP for instance; Dan The Automator & side projects (Deltron maybe?); Flipper; Chrome; Swell; Sneetches; Jake Holmes; anything Kozelek; The Units; DJ Shadow; cLOUDDEAD and all of the Oakland rap scenes; Creedence; Doobie Brothers, Linda Perhacs...
