[senoy]

Good question, not sure of the answer though. I'll give it a try, but my tastes change so much, it could be different by tomorrow.

1) Nirvana
2) Beatles
3) Billie Holliday (not a band, but everyone else cheated too.)
4) Pink Floyd
5) Karrin Allyson
6) The Cranes
7) Sex Pistols
8) Anet
9) White Stripes
10) Ella Fitzgerald

Now that I look at it, I might change a few around and there are a bunch I'm missing, but it's not a bad start.

"You can be up to your boobies in white satin, with gardenias in your hair and no sugar cane for miles, but you can still be working on a plantation." -- Billie Holliday, the first quarter life crisis :)

REM - can't wait for the new CD
U2 - cuz they rock--and always with a message; like sesame street for the politically aware
Dave Matthews - the boy can sing, good thing cuz he can't speak
John Mayer - he's just so cute and relatable
Guster -Check em out, they're awesome
Rusted Root - cuz it's got a good beat and you can dance to it
James Taylor - can't you just feel the sunshine, can't you just taste the moonshine - a true good ole NC boy
Norah Jones - for now
the Bodeans - a timeless classic

I grew up listening to a lot of comedy and novelty music, and to the Doctor Demento show; so my Top Ten (should be top 1000, there's too much music to limit it to 100, let alone 10!) is whatever makes me laugh whenever I need a stress break. All the post suggestions are good ones. Here are mine:

Weird Al Yankovic
Spike Jones and his City Slickers
The Happy Schnapps Combo
Tom Lehrer

Cheech and Chong

And too many one-hit wonders to count.

Thanks jku! I adore the Manics - v pleased to see I'm not the only one to include them!

[jku]

Hi Seren - They didn't even release the best Manics Album - THE HOLY BIBLE here. It was after Ritchie dissapeared and they were about to come to America to promote it.

My favorite of theirs:
1. Holy Bible
2. Everything Must Go
3. This is My Truth
4. The one with 'Ocean Spray'

Have a good weekend!
Governor-Elect Schwarzenegger...wow, I never thought I would write that!

[groovelily]

Here are my favorites...anybody ever heard them?
Cat Power
The Soft Bulletin
The Flaming Lips
Sigur Ros
Wilco
Califone
Smog
Radiohead
Interpol
Dixie Chics!!;)

[LakeJay]

I've heard of Flamin Lips, Sigur Ros, Radiohead and the Dixie Chicks.

I've tried listening to Sigur Ros because my friend is into them but it's kind of tough for me to get into them.

I guess Dixie Chicks is the "oddball" of your list.

[groovelily]

The Dixie Chics are incredibly talented, but the rest of country music is really lacking, except for the old greats...Scruggs brothers, Johnny Cash, etc.

Sigur Ros is FANTASTIC live!!!! Its music you should zone into.

Bjork is too, I forgot to add her.

There are just so many great musicians that never hit mainstream radio. I can't even listen to the radio anymore. It all sucks!

[jku]

Just wanted to add that THE FLAMING LIPS last two albums have been BRILLIANT. THE SOFT BULLETIN and YOSHIMI BATTLES THE GIANT ROBOTS are epics. If any of you out there have a chance to get a hold of these albums, do so by all means.
