Favorite other bands
 

Ok, I know this thread has probably appeared here like a million times, so here's # 1,000,001. I have 2 other bands that I've been passionate about for 15 and 8 years respectively, the Sundays, and the Stereophonics. I'm surious as to what others think?

I'm a secret 80's rock chick. Thunder, Warrant, Poison, Heart, AC/DC, Whitesnake, GnR......that kinda thing.

I also hang out in a lot of biker bars.....Eagles, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bad Company, Lynard Syknard

Most of my friends find my Mac/Stevie obsession strange in comparison to the rest of my musical tastes.

Oy, I can't believe I forgot them. My favorite thing to do at night is open the windows of my apartment and sit on the windowsill listening to them for a while. Very relaxing.

I'm never tired of them, and live they were just incredible. I'm trying to find their concerts still available and every possible appearance. Till now, my favourites are the Woodstock medley :p and their performances at Ed Sullivan Show.

Well my #1 love - my first love in music: The Beatles. That's my top band - FM is #2 - though VERY closely tied for #1.

Other bands/artists I love:

Sheryl Crow
Live
Barenaked Ladies
Carole King
Simon and Garfunkle
Sarah McLachlan
Dolly Parton
Loretta Lynn

The Sundays
 

The Sundays is a great band- I have all three of their albums and they are all very good. Harriet Wheeler has an angelic voice. 1989 was the year "Hear's Where..." (from their first album) was released. That year was my big music year. The Sundays, Indigo Girls, Edie Brickell & the New Boho's, REM with their album Green, Suzanne Vega at her prime- Stevie's The Other Side of the Mirror and on and on and on. 1988 through 1992 were some really great years for good music.

Hmm...I dunno if I'm into bands so much.

Bands:

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
The Everly Brothers (not exactly a band...a "group," mebbe?)

Singers:

Joni Mitchell
Bonnie Raitt
Patsy Cline
Loretta Lynn
Johnny Cash
Cassandra Wilson
Billie Holiday
Ella Fitzgerald
Ray Charles
Aretha Franklin
Etta James
Tina Turner
Dusty Springfield
Roy Orbison
Dwight Yoakam
k.d. lang
Sheryl Crow
Linda Ronstadt

Instrumentalists:

Miles Davis

Totally. :nod:

Plus:

Pink Floyd
The Killers
Dire Straits
Berlin
Scissor Sisters

The answer to this question is pretty obvious:

Walter Egan/The Malibooz
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers/The Traveling Wilburys

All the other artists that make up my music collection fall into the "like" (or "Really like") category rather than "favorite."

Speaking of half dead, what about ron wood?

That's great to hear!!!! I got hooked on them right when they started in the late 80's. had a chance to meet them after a show here in Minneapolis in 1997. very nice people :D all

Sammy Hagar rules, and dont u forget it!!!! ;) :p

Oy. I loathe male singers who sound like their balls are being tweaked.

I thought you liked the Bee Gees? :shrug:
