Whats Your Top 4 Artists Or Bands

Was that in top down order

 

There’s definitely a story there…

 

Cheeky Dartplayer… very cheeky. But get your choices 100%!

 

1. Metallica (been a fan since the age of six, also got to meet them once)
2. Snakes in Exile (actually close friends of ours)

I'm gonna think who to put on 3 and 4 for a while, there are simply so many.

 

You want to slip what into where?

 

Worked mine out by looking at the number of albums, both CD's and vinyl, that I have for a particular artist, as well as checking my laptop and iPod to see which artists I play most often.

Bruce Springsteen (got practically everything he's released)
Neil Young (again, got a hell of a lot of his stuff, 14+ albums)
Led Zep (still get played regularly)
Fleetwood Mac..their earlier Peter Green incarnation.

The single album I play most often is 'Fleetwood Mac's Greatest Hits' (from when Peter Green was the main man). I'm not a fan of greatest hits albums and generally avoid them but every track is a winner on this. 'The Green Manalishi', 'Black Magic Woman', 'Shake your Money Maker', 'Oh Well' and more. Huge change of course, when Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks arrived and Fleetwood Mac Version 2 wouldn't make my list but in her youth Stevie Nicks was the sexiest woman to ever walk the planet (probably).

Other notables in my collection include Free, Rory Gallagher, Tom Petty and Joni Mitchell. A lot of punk in there as well (the 70's were my formative years) but they don't get played very often now.

 

At this minute...
Queen
Big Country
Runrig
Fleetwood Mac

Bugger forgot about the Eagles, how could I do that.....

 

Elton John
Elvis Costello
Paul McCartney & Wings
Fleetwood Mac

 

Beatles
Ten Years After
Alison Krause & Union Station
Simon & Garfunkel

 

I have the download stored. If I wasn't technological moron, I'd be happy to try to forward it to you, if you send me an email, but be forewarned - there are some Indigo Girls songs on the list (a guilty pleasure). They do have some catchy lyrics and nice harmonies.

 

As for artists, I can’t stand David Hockney, Damien Hurst and Tracey Emin. As a cross over to the quote thread, it was Vodka that once said “Of course you can paint”.

So not in any order:

A) Monet
B) Turner
C) Lichtenstein (For novelty value)
D) Constable (as it’s nice to see what the country looked like before being ruined by all the housing estates being carved into the lush green fields and forests).

 

Tough.....probably (today anyway )....

The Stone Roses
Nirvana
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Manic Street Preachers

 

Led Zeppelin
Alice in Chains
Soundgarden
The Beatles

4 is just too short

 

I like the way you roll @Mrs Visor

 

For the love of god, man. Commas!

 

Tom Waitts
Thin Lizzy
Jackson Browne
The Clash

 

My list is constantly changing. These are always high up there though:
1. Rolling Stones
2. Bob Dylan
3. Leonard Cohen
4. Rolling Stones.
Did I remember to mention the Stones?

 

Rolling Stones
Mott the Hoople and/or Ian Hunter
Beatles
Cheap Trick

I could easily have had The Who, Delbert McClinton, Rod Stewart (older stuff), Faces, Bowie, Oasis. Difficult to stop at four!

 

Mott the hoople were the first live band I saw..
