Title: Favorite Artist/Band
Post by: runwhiteyrun06 on December 09, 2010, 04:43:26 pm
The guilty pleasures thread made me think of this.


I'm curious what you boardees consider as your favorite band/artist? If you can't just do one, you can do your top 3. I think the results will be interesting.


My favorite artist of all time is John Cale.

My favorite artist of all time is John Cale.

did you ever listen to the john cale/lou reed "songs for drella" album.  that, and twin peaks, can make me auto-ejaculate.

But no one wants to see the real faces of people on the internet!



And in regards to drella, it is a really good album. Too bad Lou Reed has to be a prick anytime he works with anyone else. (I'm a huge Lou Reed fan too).

Impossible for me to answer because my top 3 change with my moods/the weather.

Those that seem to appear the most consistently

Smiths/Morrissey
Bowie
James

Honorable mentions

Waterboys
Pogues/MacGowan
Squeeze
Clash
Mundy


I could actually add to this list all night so I'll stop there......

Good pick with Bowie. He is also one of my favorites. Too bad people ignore everything post Scary Monsters. His 90s and 2000s albums are quite good.

i saw bowie at patriot, which i guess was his last tour years back.  and even though it was at patriot, i had great floor seats.  he was one of those shows you never forget and glad you got to see him once.

That is a really difficult question, but if I had to narrow it down to 3:

Neil Young
Tool
Richard Thompson

Those are probably the 3 artists that feel most like they have tapped into my soul.
Title: Re: Favorite Artist/Band

Impossible to pick just one.. I have a list of stalwarts...of course Dylan is great but I tend to think of bands/artists that tend to come around and with whom I associate having a good time...I guess they mean the most to me personally:

Ween
GBV
Luna
Los Amigos Invisibles
Los Autenticos Decadentes
Andres Calamaro (never seen him though.. he avoids the US or can't get  a VISA..not sure which)
Outer Body Llama

Queens of the Stone Age.

All time favorites.


Never even though of this, but it's funny now that I think about it, my 2nd favorite might be Death From Above 1979. Led Zeppelin is also there. Might be my top 3. Hard for me to pick.

Springsteen
Pink Floyd
Whoever's playing The Beatles

Ugh!  I'm not sure if I want to associate with any of you ever again after reading your lists.  I guess Hieronymus's is the "best" or most interesting but with a list like that and a name like "Hieronymus" he's got to be an insufferable prick.

Brian

Impossible!!!!

Just too damned many, too moody, too many different interests and I'm just too damned old and I do keep up with newer music. All that makes for a very broad history of music. Even if I could remember everything, my short list would still look more like a Top 50, at very least.

Somehow, Brian Eno would have to find his way way up towards the very top. Of course, that's after I allow him clemency for all of his work with U2.

Walkie, Brian has a nasty hangover and is making fun of his most hated musicians that many others love. It's the Brian Walalce way that we all know and 'love' so much.  ;)

With that said, I agree with you Rhett, about that list of idols that I don't care for myself. Every one of them. Some just okay and others not at all.
