Jordo!

I like Cat Stevens (technically, a guilty pleasure, as I tend to listen mostly to frenetic bebop and punk rock or heavy blues and old school dub reggae and ska).

I was a kid when a lot of folk artists were making the rounds.

That said, I was drawn more to jazz and swing when I was a little kid, but Cat Stevens et al were in the heavy rotation for adults, so something like that was always on somewhere nearby...

Why?

It's almost impossible to not like at least one or two Queen (R.I.P.: F. M.) songs, although they aren't on my all-time favorite bands lists. Bowie is like that for me -- its all so good, but at the end of the day, I can listen to Iggy Pop (with or without the Stooges) over and over again, but I prefer both Queen and Bowie in smaller doses.

Also, I will never, ever, ever forgive Bowie for his remastering of the Stooge's Raw Power. He completely ruined it. Get the original if you don't already have it -- amazing album.

Different vibe, but since we're talking about favorite bands: Weirdly, I cannot find a single Led Zeppelin song I don't like, although I hardly ever listen to them anymore... (tho', Plant is apparently touring again -- new album... kinda weak...), same for the Rolling Stones up to about Steel Wheels (speaking of the stones, if you don't have Sticky Fingers, you should).


Ohhhh. Okay, I see. Glad you got to see him.

I had a moment like that for the last (not the most recent, sadly) Black Flag "reunion" show. Slamming to Nervous Breakdown, with Keith Morris on vocals and Dez on drums was like a dream come true. There's two more recent versions of Black Flag reunion bands, but neither have come anywhere near me as far as I know.

Got to see the Cramps a few times -- Lux is no longer with us. Very sad. Missed out on Jay Reatard's last show like a month before he O.D.'d on coke. If you like punk, garage, low-fi, etc., pretty much all of his pre-solo work/side projects (The Reatards, Bad Times, original Destruction Unit line up, Terror Visions, etc, etc) is unbelievably good. Raw, angry, crazy music. His solo stuff was getting too "pop"... he kinda checked out right on schedule. Still sad tho'.

I could go on... all the amazing bands fronted by now dead guys and gals. It sucks. Glad you got to see the Catster.

You young guys! I saw Rush, Styx, Journey, Heart, REO, Boston, YES, Nantucket, Billy Joel, Kansas, Black Sabbath, Ozzy with Randy Rhodes, Molly Hatchet, and others in the 70's and early 80's…..that I can remember, others I can't remember. Too much pot during the concerts using a power hitter…….oh, Van Halen (VHII Tour), Def Leppard (Pyromania tour)….

Jordo!

Early Black Sabbath is amazing -- Ozzy influenced EVERYBODY. Even the Meat Puppets do a cover of Paranoid. Beavis and Butthead picked a good band to air guitar to.

Man, I haven't listened to Yes in a million years. Some their stuff is mind blowing. Ever get into (any of the incarnations of) ELP?

Big fan of Rush was I was a kid -- Fly by Night is one of my favorite songs

Why is that weird? They are the best musical artist of all time Seriously though, easily one of the greatest bands of all time. It was a collection of tremendously talented musical artists. I recently received as a gift a blu-ray video with concert footage and audio CD box set of their 2007 UK performance with John Bonham's (RIP) son playing the drums. I highly recommend it.

Growing up I was mainly into Beastie Boys, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, 311, Tribe Called Quest. I really latched onto most of my favorite bands when I found songs on their albums songs that were way better than the overplayed radio hits. Every band I've named thus far in this post has several albums where I legitimately enjoy every song on the album. I could listen to Led Zeppelin III or Presence on repeat until the end of time.

Popular artists in the early-mid 2000s really turned me off mainstream music. Stones and Bowie I need in small doses, although I can take medium doses of Queen. Plant's latest album I agree was pretty weak - I tried to like it, really.

My feeling is that more recently artists are less into the actual music and more into either making a statement or making money. I don't necessarily have a problem with an album being made while sitting in front of a computer for a few hours; everyone has different tastes. But I have a problem when there's almost no human quality to the music and its considered better than a quality artist recorded playing real instruments. And while I understand music has always been used to make a statement, a powerful statement alone cannot be used to make music IMO. Just my while I wait on hold with the IRS this morning.
