What is your favorite band, singer?

G' Mornin',

For me it is the Fab Four from Liverpool, England. The Beatles revolutionized Western Civilization.

The Beatles sucked. They just had perfect timing with the British invasion thing.

Probably Bob Dylan, but it's hard to say. If I could only listen to one band forever, it would probably be Miles Davis.

Tool/MJK

really? to me, he's the Coldplay of jazz.

There's a little bit of everything, from straight bop, to neoclassical, to fusion, to ambient. There isn't a mood uncovered by Davis. I'd always have something to listen to that would go with my mood.

 

[KMFJD]

Pink Floyd

Lately?

Rival Sons....Jay Buchanan.

Pressure And Time

 

[IBMJunkman]

Led Zeppelin

Elton John

 

[LikeLinus]

Deftones - Chino Moreno

Mike Patton is right there too. He can flat out sing.

I've long had this ranking:

The Beatles are the best, though I don't enjoy listening to them that often.
The next two are Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, followed by The Who.

As I posted in another thread, the most underrated band is The Doors.

My 'best single rock song to represent rock': Sunshine of Your Love.

Tough choice, can't really choose. Many of my choices have already been mentioned: Beatles, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, The Who, Led Zeppelin. All great, all deserving to be remembered. Others I'd add: Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, U2, SoAD, Muse.

If I were loaded onto a space ship to spend the rest of my life flying to Alpha Centauri(random weird situation) and told I could only take the music collection of a single Artist/Band I think I could narrow it down to 4: Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and U2. I could draw straws from there and I'd choose those mainly due to the large catalogue of great music each has.

this is maybe my favorite story from the jazz world; john coltrane had been playing with the miles davis band for a while, but he felt the cool jazz format didn't fit his expression style. Miles, as band leader, had been trying to rein in coltrane, who instead was trying to burst out at every occasion - in other words, he was telling him "don't play like that, stay in the mood of the band because it's our signature".

the olympia concert was to be the last one together, and coltrane knew it; while davis's solos are still trying to adhere to cool jazz, coltrane goes all out, completely upstaging davis.

Davis kicked him out after this concert, which is possibly the best thing to ever happen to jazz.

Excuse me Oyeve, but the Beatles led the British invasion and gave rise to the many bands and pop singers that followed. If not for them you'd probably be listening to country artists singing their beloved patriot tonk versions of mama falling out of bed after having too much bourbon whilst longing for the affections of the neighbor's best friend! The Grateful Dead would have been reduced to a microscopic version, if they ever existed at all, and certainly without a written papyrus allowing them to put their material out for the world to follow and hang onto as an ant caught on flypaper. With that said, I like your selections, but give the Beatle their due. "Perfect timing" my sweet baroosta!
