So what other bands are you guys into around here?
Personally, I'm an absolute SUCKER for Toto. I think they are awesome. I also love Steely Dan and Genesis. Those guys along with the Mac are pretty much all I listen to these days. Sometimes I'll put on a bit of Foo Fighters though. And I LOVE a bit of Bowie.
When I was a younger I was into Red Hot Chili Peppers, Korn, Incubus, Slipknot, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Rage Against The Machine, Faith No More, Jane's Addiction, Pink Floyd (can't listen to them anymore. Brings back, ahem, dubious memories), Senser. My taste changed a bit as I hit my 30s and I went for stuff that was bit softer. The music I listened to as a younger man is just too loud for me now, lol. What about you guys? What else do you dig apart from the obvious? |

Vampire Weekend Franz Ferdinand, I have tickets to see them April 21! The Black Keys Depeche Mode Kasabian Coldplay Whitest Boy Alive Portishead Mazzy Star The Cinematics (*cry* they broke up after only two albums) Everything But The Girl Honeycut Gorillaz The Presets Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra Siouxsie & The Banshees Concrete Blonde These are all bands that I share an equal obsession for; at least as much (and often moreso) than Fleetwood Mac.

I've never actually heard Blur (that I know of). Weird, I know.

Ah. It's just that Damon Albarn founded both Blur and Gorillaz!

Thanks! . You might like the hair metal ballads ( Every Rose has its Thorn for example). Doom metal is like Black Sabbath, but heavier. Sludge is doom mixed with southern style rock (Like Lynyrd Skynyrd). It's really distorted and heavy

I'm not sure there are many bands I have as much by as I do of Fleetwood Mac and pretty close to all Mac related solo recordings or anything they were significantly involved in...
Gene Clark and The Byrds might rank second place. Totally unrelated, but Stereolab I seem to have everything by up to the early 2000s, something around 50 releases including vinyl. The Beatles I probably have everything by but not so much of the later solo years. I have loads of Yes and related things too, but really mainly play the first four albums and any Chris Squire or Steve Howe dominated productions. Fairport Convention and sandy Denny are coming on strong the last few years. If I have books and DVDs about the artists it's getting serious. The Hollies, up to the mid-'70s. Really underrated in America. The Rolling Stones... but only the Brian Jones years so far really. As with Yes I have later stuff but it sits ignored mostly. I also have every Miriam Makeba on vinyl up to the '70s, but that was a shorter lived completist obsession. Los Machucambos seemed to start me on the vinyl completist trail, they are/were a France based south American folk combo who were most popular in the '60s and '70s. A Vancouver group called The Collectors and then Chilliwack was another vinyl obsession where I got as far as all non-LP cuts on singles. Same for Ottawa's Staccatos, and Toronto's The Paupers and Edward Bears. Luke & The Apostles/Kensington Market still have a few major vinyl gaps (especially this one release on a 'Stone' label). Mamas & Paps/Cass Elliot I was heavily into once, but got everything together fairly quickly. Havin some obscurity to chase tends to keep the obsession burning. Also very into The Three Suns as arranged by Charles Albertine for a brief but intense time. Then a lot of folk Decca recordings by Scottish artists Archie Fisher, Barbara Dickson, Rab Noakes and Bread Love & Dreams. Oh yes, and there was a fling with Japanese pop starting with Shonen Knife and ending in Pizzicato Five sometime back in the '90s. Lolita #9, Mummy The Peepshow, Dizzy Joghurt, Puffy Ami-Yumi. I drag them all out every other year. Are you sorry you asked this question yet? Last edited by becca; 01-12-2014 at 02:47 PM.. |

So true. The collector in me loves bands with vast catalogs and obscure releases.
