Okay, we haven't had one of these in a while. No, Fatty, it is not another "What Is in the CD Player?" but a "Who Are Your All-Time Favorite Musical Artists" - regardless of genre. My top 5 are as follows: 1) Miles Davis 2) Pink Floyd 3) Led Zeppelin 4) John Coltrane 5) The Cure Honorable Mentions: Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Sigur Ros, Aphex Twin, Moby, Joy Division/New Order, Rush, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Peter Gabriel, Nine Inch Nails, The Smiths, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Horace Silver, Herbie Hancock, John McLaughlin/Mahavishnu Orchestra, Larry Coryell, and Freddie Hubbard.
It is nearly impossible for me to give a real list, because there is a large stable of my favorites. The ones that come to mind first are: The Beatles The Clash The Pixies The Kinks Hank Williams Sr. Talking Heads They Might Be Giants New Order Los Lobos The list could go and on so I will stop for now.
Bad Brains The Buzzcocks The Clash Parliament / Funkadelic Sly Stone Prince Devo Big Boys Billy Idol Cars Bob Marley James Brown Butthole Surfers I'm sure I forgot some...
