So what other bands are you guys into around here?

[ChickenStu]

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?

The Floyd and the Mac are my two main musical obsessions, but I like the Beatles, Oasis, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eurythmics, and I quite like some newer ones though they tend to be more flakey. I had a Mumford and Sons moment last year, but I think there was a bit of over exposure there.

[Jondalar]

The Doors
Concrete Blonde

[KarmaContestant]

Muse
Vampire Weekend
Franz Ferdinand, I have tickets to see them April 21!

These are all bands that I share an equal obsession for; at least as much (and often moreso) than Fleetwood Mac.

That's a great list of genres - I didn't know there were so many types of metal - like doom, sludge and hair/glam. I don't think it would be my kind of music ;) but interesting to know they exist.

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

[becca]

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?

[KarmaContestant]

Havin some obscurity to chase tends to keep the obsession burning.

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

[WildHearted]

Hanson
Joni Mitchell
Carole King
Haim
John Denver
Dolly Parton
Ariana Grande
The Beatles

Really random stuff tbh.

[Macfanforever]

I mostly enjoy moldy oldies of any kind of music from the 1920's to the 1980's.

[MoonSister75]

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

Well done - you've managed to pick one I liked when I was a teen. But I didn't know it was hair metal. I liked similar stuff to that, guns and roses etc - but apparently they're hard rock :confused: I know a tiny bit of Black Sabbath and Lynyrd Skynyrd but as you can probably tell my knowledge in this area of music is very limited.

[MoonSister75]

I've gone through so many different music fazes. I tend to really get into something, and then move on to something else. For many years I was into Soul, Funk, Disco, House and Garage.

Some particular favourites in recent years have been:

Bob Dylan
Joni Mitchell
The Killers
Bon Iver
Nina Simone
Aretha Franklin
Stevie Wonder

The only band that has stuck with me, since my mum and dad bought the Greatest Hits in the 80's, is Fleetwood Mac. Its the only band I have ever gone back to again and again until this day.:)

[chiliD]

(I'm naming the "parent" band or artist...also includes solo material and spin-off groups by the members of the parent band, for example, Rolling Stones would also include Keith's "X-Pensive Winos" & Bill Wyman's "Willy & The Poorboys" blues band)

Allman Bros Band
Beatles
Eric Clapton
Bob Dylan
Grateful Dead
Little Feat
Rolling Stones
Santana
Bruce Springsteen
The Band
ZZ Top

Those are the main ones...the list is actually quite a bit longer, but don't have time to list them all.

[Dove]

I love these kinds of threads!

Heart
Led Zeppelin
Joni Mitchell
Lorde
Lana Del Rey
HAIM (kinda...still getting into them.)
Eagles
Janis Joplin
Johnny Cash
Patsy Cline
Loretta Lynn
Def Leppard

Not all of those are "bands" but I love them as well as Stevie/FM :woohoo:

I was in love with Marti Pellow/Wet Wet Wet when I was about 10 - my first musical obsession :). I didn't realise they were still going.
I remember going to see Jamiroquai (we thought they were pronounced jammy-rocka) in this tiny venue, on my 16th birthday, before they were famous, and I was completely blown away - amazing sound and energy, and I loved his voice. I thought to myself -I'm sure they're going to be big.

Seeing a lot of great taste on here. I shouldn't find that surprising, but it is nice to confirm. ;)

I'm not really a "band" person. I mostly listen to singer-songwritery types. Fleetwood Mac is the only band I'd really call myself a fan of, and I always view that more as a group of singer-songwriters sharing space than anything else.

Patty Griffin
Anais Mitchell
Happy Rhodes
Kate Bush
Jonsi/Sigur Ros
Marianne Faithfull
Peter Gabriel
David Bowie
Sarah Slean
Jann Arden


And, well, lots more really, but those are definitely my main music squeezes these days.

I thought the Sigur Ros film - Heima was an incredibly beautiful film. I saw it at the cinema and absolutely loved it. I haven't tried watching it on a small screen, because it seems to be one of those films that needs a big screen.

I've been listening to some of 50 words for snow and I really like it. One of the tracks had me in tears - I guess that's a sign of good music. Its perfect music for winter :cool:

[becca]

Sarah Slean, Sarah Harmer, and Sarah McLachlan... the modern Canadian holy trinity... :wavey:

[iamnotafraid]

If the Ledge Commune ever works out we can have
a big listening session.

After Elvis, way after - comes a few others...

Not necessarily in order
Pink Floyd
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Robert Cray
Dwight Yoakam
Shelby Lynne
Rosanne Cash
Johnny Cash
Marty Robbins
Eric Clapton
Pat Benatar
The Go Go's
No Doubt
Carly Simon
Dolly Parton
Linda Ronstadt
Mark Knopfler


Several artist or groups are ascending as I get older,
such as...
Led Zeppelin
Rolling Stones
Bob Dylan

One of the newest artist (to me) that might have jumped
all the way to number two on my list, which does include
his solo and group albums is Jack White.

One unfortunate tragedy of being a favorite is being
played too much. That and as they've gotten older
they don't seem capable of great new music.
Who you ask? That would be Fleetwood Mac.

Becca! Highfives for the Sarah Slean love! She is truly wonderful.

I actually found TrueFaith's list refreshingly eclectic. It's a lot more interesting than, say, mine.

Basically though, everyone is going to dislike everyone else's musical taste. There's no point even bringing it up. It's just a rule of thumb.

I just discovered "Beach House". Love them!!!

[KarmaContestant]

Now THERE is a band I've not heard of for a few years! Blimey! Whatever happened to those guys?

Their catalog is being remastered and reissued. I think the second set of four albums is due soon. Otherwise, Tracey Thorn has laucnhed a solo career, with one album in 2007, Out of the Woods, and a second in 2011, Love and it's Opposite. Both albums are great - the first is very typical of Everything But The Girl. The second is mostly accoustic, very melancholy, and is a concept album about divorce. One lyric sums it up best:

"Each time I hear who's to part, I examine my heart"

It's a lovely collection of songs, really. I hope Tracey has something new in the works!

[iamnotafraid]

Compared to Jack White? :laugh:

Watch out now. Them's fighting words!

Making Pies turned me onto her. That is an excellent song and I can't believe it wasn't all over the radio. Love Long Ride Home and Rain.

The album I like the most is Flaming Red; Goodbye is one of the most beautiful ballads ever. I love Tony. It's funny it's about gay suicide because it sounds upbeat. Great Track. Wiggley Fingers, Mary, Christine, great album

She is the real deal; Up to the Mountain can compete with any soul song.

[GarboSpeaks!]

TrueFaith77 has a lot of great taste! But I also like some of Jack White. I love a lot of 80's. Like ALL things 80's. After that I'd cling onto KarmaContestant for most like my taste in music. The only outsider is Dan Hicks, and I think ONE ledgie had ever heard of them. lol

I am really into Fitz & The Tantrums right now. I really enjoy both of their albums back to front. Super poppy and radio friendly, but there are times when that is ok. I also super dig Tame Impala and Broken Bells. <Yet to get newest release 2/4/14. Anyone else into any of those guys?

Beach House I liked...but what the hell happened? Portland was talking up a storm about them, but now I've heard nodda. Hope they do more in future.

[becca]

Morrissey and The Smiths meant a lot to me at one time, I could never be without his/their music around for flashbacks.

I have all the Dan Hicks vinyl LPs and the great Amazing Charlatans CD collection. Certainly not for everyone, and like Captain Beefheart probably impossible to explain, but who knows that Stevie Nicks didn't pick up some retro Edwardian-Victorian fashion ideas through them in her San Fran days? Ferguson forever! :cool:

I'm really into listening to a Michigan '60s outfit called The Spike Drivers lately... along the lines of early Jefferson Airplane, Great Society, Mojo Men, only nowhere close geographically to the bay area, so how did they get there? One member left for Canada and founded the Perth County Conspiracy. It all should have been much more popular. Actually maybe they are more like The Peanut Butter Conspiracy, I'm a sucker for male/female vocal harmony pop like this. :woohoo:

[GarboSpeaks!]

Apparently at one time FM's manager was Dan Hick's old manager. I forget which person, but thought it was awesome there was a FM/DH tie in. lol I always just thought they were folk-like, but yea, I guess hard to explain.
I love the Smiths and have seen Morrissey before. Great flippin' show. Am not at all familiar with his more recent stuff.

[TrueFaith77]

becca, Garbo,

Check out Morrissey's last three studio albums:

You Are the Quarry
Ringleader of the Tormentors
Years of Refusal

Yes, Johnny Marr is missed but Moz has never been better!

At this moment I'm particularly obsessed with Waylon Jennings,
Trios Los Panchos and Rick Ross.

[SisterNightroad]

Implying the bands and artists that I'm used to listen to and not bands that I generally like, I'd say that beside Fleetwood Mac/ Stevie Nicks I'm into:

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Elton John
Peter Gabriel
Queen
Clash (not much lately though)

[KarmaContestant]

Anyone else totally into Paolo Nutini? This guy, after a debut album that I totally did not like (juvenile songwriting), has really developed a sound that I'm loving on his latest album. He sounds like a man who has lived a little, instead of a boy.

:laugh: I saw a review on Amazon that claimed Paolo isn't taken seriously by the music biz because he's too pretty. :lol:

So great to see Everything but the Girl mentioned here! "Eden" got me through uni and I've loved them ever since! Another Bridge, Each and Every One, Cross My Heart some favourites..

Have any other fans read Tracey's auto bio? A great read, highly recommended!

I also love:

Elvis Costello
Chic
The Beatles

Quite a select taste!

Probably because the Mac takes up most of my music listening!

No, but I absolutely love her two recent solo albums; especially Love And It's Opposite.

Damn! That was awesome!!! Vocals reminiscent of Cat Stevens and music similar to Ray Lamontagne! LOVED IT!!!

I remember this kid. His first album had a cheeseball song called "New Shoes". Didn't care for it...or that album. THIS, on the other hand, is amaze-balls! Might have to check out this new record. Thanks for sharing! :)

[PenguinHead]

WOW. I am really impressed by huge diverse lists people shared. There were about 40 artists that I noticed that forgot to put on my list. I'm a completist, so a good portion of my list are artists of which I've collected their entire discography, and then some. It kills me that most of it is in storage on the other side of the country. Hopefully I'll be united with in the next year or so. I'll be overwhelmed.

[PenguinHead]

What tha???

I know! A fictitious group, but I David Cassidy is a guilty pleasure

I love his voice and his early solo work after the TV series ended. I love the Partridge Family albums for the quality of the work. A lot of reputable musicians, writers and producers worked on those songs, and not just for the Partridge Family. Many of the musicians were from the Wrecking Crew era, and worked with and augmented tons of famous bands and artists.

When they hired David, they weren't even looking for a singer. They intended him to lip-sync; that was until they found out he could sing, He was more pf a hippie rocker than a teen idol, but he went along with it.

The Monkees were the forerunner manufactured TY band, but they actually became a real band, Mike and Peter were musicians, Davy was singer, as was Micky could sing, and learned to play drums. Most of their albums were a mixture of them and sessions players.
