I have been a great fan of Eva Cassidy since her music was discovered.
Her story is a sad one, but to me one of the best raw talents found this century.
Have a listen!
I have a dislike for a lot of female vocalist but I find I can listen to her what ever mood and love her work.
What are you thoughts?
Do you have a favourite artist you can listen to whatever the mood?
I don't have a single artist I listen to whatever my mood. I think I have a group of artists and albums that I return to regularly. I pick the one that suits my mood or if I'm down one that will pick me up.
If I had to pick one artist I listen to the most it would have to be the mighty MADNESS. A blast from my past.
I tend to think of them as being contempary folk music. They wrote and performed songs about who they were and where they came from.
Some of the songs cleverly tackle difficult subjects all to a bouncy ska beat.
I tend to agree mostly with Keeno here. However I would also have to admit I have a major preference for Marc Bolan, Tyrannosaurus Rex and very early period, and the Cocteau Twins.
It's very simple for me. The Hamsters and Pink Floyd frequently take turns for the number one slot.
The rest of the time it's just shuffle play on an MP3 collection of 60,000+
Alive or dead?
Solo or band?
It's a tricky one because most people love lots of different types of music and within each genre there's going to be a stand out artist, so it's like asking people to say what's their favourite sort of music. And is it about the music they produce, or something more then that? For example you might like the Levellers because they behave in a manner true to their musical ethos (or so they claim).
Bruce Springsteen, a major influence on my life, and a positive one.
Has anyone heard of Dumpy's Rusty Nuts? cracking live band!
What did you think to his on stage outfit????? He was wearing a ballet tutu and flying helmet when I last saw them live....
You just don't get better than this >>>
Jean Michel Jarre, said by some to be the grandfather of rave. Can't see it myself but many bands (Orb, Slam, Get Decor) do credit him.
There are none so blind as those who will not see
