My younger son recently bought the "new" Doors LP, "Paris Blues." He brought it over, and we ended up listening to it twice. Side two has some live blues recorded in hight clubs. Between him and my other son, they have a lot of the Doors, Hendrix, the Beatles, and the Plastic Ono Band, etc.

Many years ago, when they were teenagers, I found them listening to David Peel & the Lower East Side Gang.... which remains, so many decades later, rebel teen music. They seemed a bit nervous when I asked what they were listening to, and said it was stuff I wouldn't have heard of. Surprise, surprise! The old man has known of David et al since they were part of an early Plastic Ono Band. More, I'd known David for many years, and had played with the original band at a Woodstock reunion long ago. So I got out a tape that David gave me, of Yoko and him in the studio, along with a pile of pictures of him with John & Yoko.
