1. Damien Jurado (very unknown artist, but very good....sounds kind of similar to Bob Dylan and Nick Drake....folky)
2. Pearl Jam (new cd comes out may 2)
3. Led Zeppelin (i grew up listening to them, my favorite song is probably Fool in the Rain...Robert Plant sang with Pearl Jam recently at a concert in Chicago)
4. Silverchair (Australian band, their cd Diorama has amazing songs with amazing orchestra compositions...their earlier cds are kind of grungy)
5. Pedro the Lion (an great band with great lyrics)

I saw the Pixies do a sound check, with just me in the audience......I booked a concert with them at my last job. It was awsome.
AlysheaNW- I also did a show with the Violent Femmes, I hope I don't ruin this for you but......they were the biggest jerks in the world. Not to mention they refuse to talk to eachother.......They don't get along. Seperate rooms, seperate cars....they only talk on stage. Its weird

Its weird I've heard stuff about Gordon & Brian not getting along... And I think it has definitely affected the music. But as much as I love the guys, it is probably about time for them to hang it up anyway. I have seen them in concert about a dozen times, and over the last few years the shows have really gone down hill. I am the biggest Femmes fan I know (have all their albums including the new ones and the imports, even have the first couple albums on vinyl), and even I was bored at the last show I went to. It's really hard to have fun when it is obvious the guys on stage aren't having any. |

Hmm...
This seems like it should be easy. I mean, number one is easy and number two is rather simple to pick, but the list starts to get harder from there... Although I bet my list will not match anyone else here at all. Heh
All Time:
1. Underworld (not including the Pre-DJ days)
2. The Beatles (need to say nothing more)
3. David Bowie
4. Prince
5. “Weird Al” Yankovic
Current (excluding the above):
1. Jonathan Coulton
2. Babble (has a habit of hopping into the 5th spot above)
3. Dagda
4. The Orb (also has a habit of hopping into the 5th spot above)
5. Jack Wall
