who would you compare poets to or best describe?Two bands I could not live without...
Poets of the Fall
Guns n Roses
Ummm, I personally don't think I could compare them to anyone... A simplistic description would be a Finnish rock band, nothing heavy...IMO they are the perfect mix of lyrics, melodies, voice... Eh I totally bone up about these guys...they just seem to make everything fit perfectly together.... We're on the interwebs, youtube them and have a listen :)
cool. for a while i had Ghost in my head when you mentioned where they were from.
will give them a whirl.
1. Beatles
2. Fugazi
3. Helmet
4. Beastie Boys
5. Faith No More (and most Patton projects)
6. Ween
7. Shellac
8. Entombed
9. Godflesh
10. Beck
I could probably do a whole separate one for metal, but that's off the top of my head, and other than the Beatles in no particular order.
In no particular order:
1. Pearl Jam
2. Nirvana
3. Faith no more
4. Aerosmith
5. Def Leppard
6. U2
7. Rolling stones
8. Guns n Roses

Admittedly I'm a jazz isolate now and I rarely listen to mainstream anymore but this is the best of a disappointingly WASPish selection from BB so far. I had no idea the BB taste was sooo....vanilla!
Could do with some Eddie Floyd, Wilson Pickett or Little Feat but you're more than forgiven after choosing The Meters and Lee Dorsey.
Ride your pony, Grik.

I'm way past the point where I need to namedrop obscure artists for music cred.
Yeah, I like Laurie Anderson a lot.
Plenty of other artists on that list, too.
Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, sure. Great.
Just not top ten favourites.

Yeh, it struck me the same. Almost everyone has chosen white-boy guitar bands exclusively. Bit disappointing that.
I was brought up listening to my dad's jazz LPs - Oscar Peterson, Miles Davis etc, so got a good grounding there. Tend to listen to the funkier Blue Note stuff these days. But all's good!
■■■■, I forgot East 17.
disappointed to see no other rush fans.
