(write a) list of your of your favourite bands/musicians/composers blablabla etc
 
this hasn't been done for a while so maybe it's time.
write a list as long or as short as you like.
people who normally skip these sorts of threads are particularly requested to contribute to the procedings.

thank you.

Maybe it's just me, but a list of favorites that is longer than, say, 10 bands isn't a list of favorites. Picking favorites involves making some hard decisions. I say no longer than 10 within each kind of music. But whatever.

musicfallinglikesnow 02.20.2007 02:14 AM

In no particular order:

The Velvet Underground including Lou Reed soloist and Nico soloist
Nick Drake
Robert Wyatt
Sonic Youth
Tim Buckley
Roy Orbison
Patti Smith
John Coltrane
Neil Young with Crazy Horse
Leonard Cohen
Reynols
Luis Alberto Spinetta
Juana Molina
Lydia Lunch with whoever guest
Yoko Ono with and without the Plastic Ono Band
David Bowie (old ones)
Kate Bush
Milla Jovovich
Don Cherry
Ornette Coleman
Can
Bob Dylan
Johnny Cash
Sun Ra
Sigur Rós
Carlos Gardel

I know, it's more than ten but it's not too many either

Were it the actor that I'd be flabbergasted.

There's a band called Yaphet Kotto I think.

Is there really, and I guess this is directed at kingcoffee, a band called Shrewsbury Sucks? If so, that's a bit unkind. Shrewsbury is actually a really nice town and, although not massively exciting, it was compared to where I grew up (going to Shrewsbury on the train was 'an exciting thing')
