Re: Favourite Artists?
The Brought Low. Words cannot describe how mind-blowingly, pants-crappingly awesome this band is, and they're releasing a new record in March. Of course, bear in mind that the artists that usually top my listening charts are AC/DC and Foghat, as well as Lynyrd Skynyrd when I need to listen to some serious music.
Re: Favourite Artists?
I'll list my top 5 all time album, in no particular order.
1. The Stone Roses, The Stone Roses.
Probably the finest indie album ever with, IMHO, no weak tracks.
2. The Private Press, DJ Shadow.
An ecelectic album full of of many different genres, all expertly mixed and produced by Josh Davies.
3. Come get it, I got it - David Holmes
Another DJ produced album with some of the finest Funk tracks ever recorded. I had most of these tracks played at my wedding.
4. Jurassic 5, Jurassic 5
The album I play for people who say they don't like rap. Great tunes and witty, observant raps.
5. Let's Knife, Shonen Knife
Insane Japanese punk rock that's great for the car. Sample lyrics:-
We're only making plans for da da dirty dirty bison
We don't like him so much, 'cause he's very ug-ug-ugly
We're only making plans for da da dark brown bison
He has a right to live though he's ill ill ill-shaped
He's on the way to extinction
We only want what's best for him
Genius.

Three 6 Mafia. Their clubbing & mainstream hardcore rap is ok, but I prefer their mostly underground horrorcore songs.

Re: Favourite Artists?
You sir have great taste in music!
Do you listen to the Grateful Dead? You'd probably dig Workingman's Dead and the like.

I know of The Dead of course, but never took the time to listen to them. I'll just try and find some songs on YouTube.You sir have great taste in music!

EDIT: I'm listening to Truckin' right now. It kinda reminds me of Creedence.
