Pretend there are only 3 bands you can listen to. You're welcome to their entire catalogue, but you can't have their members' side projects or anything like that. Which 3 would you choose and why?
1. Skinny Puppy. I need this band to defrag my brain, and I can't get inspired the same way from anything else. There are alternatives such as severed heads and foetus, but they aren't consistant the same way. I take skinny puppy over any other electronic music.
2. Sonic Youth. This band consistantly releases amazing albums that keep me occupied for months. I don't think I'll ever get tired of them, and I don't think I'll ever stop noticing new reasons to love them.
3. Smashing Pumpkins. These guys have all the mood music I need for almost every conceivable mood (the others are taken care of by the aforementioned bands), I need some smashing pumpkins sometimes.
EDIT: Solo artists are ok. I just meant you can't have sonic youth AND psychic hearts AND free kitten etc. You can't have Syd Barrett AND pink floyd, but you can have Syd Barrett.
