I gotta replace something there with the DEAD KENNEDYS. I really love them.

No order, no Jazz, no RAVEL, just Pop / Rock: 

BIG STAR
THE STOOGES
THE BEATLES
THE ROLLING STONES
ELVIS PRESLEY 
JIMI HENDRIX
HANK WILLIAMS SR.

BOSTON
JOURNEY
FOREIGNER
BLONDIE
STYX
BEATLES
STEELY DAN
GUESS WHO
THE WHO
REO SPEEDWAGON

Bands and singers. Just like Allhallowsday, no jazz or classical. (Even though RC put a jazz singer in his list. If I added one, It'd be Louis Armstrong).

Tom Waits
Johnny Cash
Bob Dylan
The Beatles
Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys
Lightnin' Hopkins
The Pogues
Andrew Bird
Neil Young (& Crazy Horse)
Pink Floyd

This bunch are overwhelmingly dead or retired.  :bluesad:

These two were also THIS close...  might cut BEACH BOYS for either... nah. 

MOTORHEAD  :thumbup:  
ULTRAVOX  :thumbup:  (Wow)  

TOM PETTY is a surprising inclusion, considering the others .  I like TOM PETTY and should check him out more.  


 

BOSTON was a great band.  BLONDIE was another cut I had to make.   THE WHO recorded one of the greatest records anybody recorded: Who's Next... interesting choices.   

:thumbup: Yes he did, and hardly the one I'd pick and yet somehow CHET BAKER is perfect...

I'm mostly still stuck in the 90s.

1. Bjork: disappointed in the last album, but the rest are 4 star or higher. Next level s**t from another world.
2. Tori Amos: seen her show nine times so far. Used to worship her, but since mid 2000s, her albums have been meh.
3. Jane's Addiction: first three albums are still epic.
4. Sisters of Mercy: all you need in a goth band
5. Ween: every genre plus a few of their own
6. Aphex Twin (or anything by Richard D. James,  with all of his alt titles)
7. Alice Cooper (70s era especially)
8. PJ Harvey: she'll tear you apart
9. Gary Numan: 70 and still tearing it up. Early stuff is the best.
10. Prince: epic musician

Brume would probably make that list, but it's such a new band that I'm into that who knows how I'll feel about them a year from now. Same probably goes for Kult of the Wizard.

Honorable mentions: Sonic Youth, Rasputina, Lords of Acid, Boards of Canada, God Lives Underwater, Kult of the Wizard, and The Orb.

Cool.  I have Replicas, and Pleasure Principle and Telekon.   :thumbup:

See, if I did an 'alternate' version...some of the ones I already listed would still be there.

1.) Ramones
2.) Misfits
3.) The Cure
4.)  Ray Charles
5.) Panic! At The Disco
6.) Twenty One Pilots
7.) Rolling Stones
8.) Beach Boys
9.) Weird Al
10.) Aerosmith.

I love me some Bjork! No one has a voice like hers.

I have one track from Rasputina ("Possum of the Grotto")  that I got off a free sampler somewhere. Loved it and always meant to check out some more, but never got around to it.
