alright, alright.
in terms of the “vanilla” claims, I could list quite a lot of blues and jazz, but a lot of them aren’t bands. i don’t classify Hendrix as a band either, fwiw.
Neither is Paul Kelly or Nick Cave, but they’re both pretty bandy.

Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble
No: 11
disappointed to see no other rush fans.
Oh I'm a Rush fan. Just not top ten for me. Mind you, if we were talking guitar players, then I reckon I could fit Alex Lifeson in somewhere.
Always tricky, but here are a few faves off my iPod in no particular order:
Wire (late ‘70s albums & singles) & Colin Newman‘s early ‘80s solo albums.
Bird Nest Roys
The Small Faces (but dislike much of Ogden‘s Nut Gone Flake)
Pink Floyd (Syd Barrett period only)
Brian Eno (pre-ambient ‘song‘ albums)
Velvet Underground / Lou Reed
Beatles (mid-period – ‘66-‘68)
The Rolling Stones (pre-Exile On Mainstreet only)
Junior Murvin (Police & Thieves etc.)
The Heptones (Book of Rules)
Burning Spear
The Meters
Lee Dorsey
James Brown (mid-period - Cold Sweat to Sex Machine)
Curtis Mayfield
Gil Scott-Heron
Johnny Cash
Birthday Party / Nick Cave / Bad Seeds
The Go-Betweens
The Gorillaz
Elvis Costello (late ‘70s albums & singles to Shipbuilding)
Massive Attack
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.
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!
what a cop out to say that.
more morons like justin bieber than silverchair or alice in chains these days but does that make that little wanker better?
absolutely not.
bands like stones, zep, beatles were MASSIVE because they were GOOD.
dont be such a music nazi because you turned to jazz and now think everyone whos TOP FAV bands ever are well known, is not doing so becuase they like the music but because they are following form. thats bullshit.
