Re: 10 artists you couldn't bear to lose...

Oh all right then, I`ll have a go...!


These are the ten I`ve listened to most over the last five years...


Mostly Autumn


Frank Sinatra


Fairport Convention


Journey


Sarah Brightman


Marillion


Arena


Blackmores Night


Rush


Morrissey


Mmmn... that was quite difficult. Queen and Paul McCartney can`t be far behind. Oh, Ian Mcnabb too. Later in the year we could do our all time lists. Now that would be hard. Good thread fr0g.

I know what I like ..

Steely Dan
My Morning Jacket
Morrissey
The Beatles
Belle & Sebastian
The Fall
Lambchop
Wilco
Neil Young
Elvis Costello

I've had a few too many to drink tonight, so this may all seem wrong in the morning. In fact, based purely on this evening's listening it would be Zep, Big Audio Dynamite and the Smashing Pumpkins all the way.

I've never seen S.Y.L live myself, and now Devin has made good his 5 album commitment, I don't suppose I ever will. Oh well, I'll just have to keep watching the DVD and keep it cranked at home!

It's a shame really. Gene Hoglan has been my drumming idol ever since I heard 'Individual Thought Patterns' by 'Death', and I've never actually ever seen him playing live.

Re: 10 artists you couldn't bear to lose...

Some interesting lists... :)
Some with artists who would be on my opposite list, some with artists who would make my next 10...

Never ceases to amaze me the multitude of tastes of us mere mortals... ;)
