I love music as much as I love movies but I don’t have time to write about both. 70’s & 80’s music will always be my favorite. Rock, metal, electronic, trip hop, 80’s pop… I like most any genre other than country. A good song is a good song.
Some of my favorite artists:
Black Sabbath
Iron Maiden
Daft Punk
David Bowie
UNKLE
The Cure
The Chemical Brothers
Justice
David Byrne/Talking Heads
Radiohead
The Beatles
Foo Fighters
Jimi Hendrix
Led Zeppelin
The Black Keys
Royal Blood
Wolfmother
Peter Gabriel
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Metallica (the old school stuff)
John Lydon/PiL/Sex Pistols
Iggy Pop
Supertramp
Electric Light Orchestra
The White Stripes
Kraftwerk
Massive Attack
Air
Tame Impala
The Clash
New Order
Okay – I’ll quit listing bands for now. I know I’ve left a lot of stuff out…
I just got that Tame Impala album and its great! You must be so much cooler than me 😦
Yeah, I’m cool… Lol. : ) Which album? Lonerism?
Yeah thats the one, I’m not trendy enough to appreciate though
I recommend Innerspeaker too. : )
Only because I have a mild obsession about Shirley Manson, but recommend Garbage if you’ve never heard them.
Not listened to Garbage in a long time but loved some of their stuff. : )
That’s good, i also advise you to listen Indian music, it is awesome….
Thank you! Sorry – I never saw your comment on this page. 🙂
Most respectable list you have there. Great taste!
Thank you very much! I was just thinking the other day that I haven’t updated this page in ages. My taste really hasn’t changed anyway, though! 🙂
Okay…I have to add my two cents…. Some favorites:
Pink Floyd
Touch (1968)
Nightwish
Go
Triumvirat
Rolling Stones
Edenbridge
Epica
Kamelot
Beatles
Tom Waits
Boz Scaggs
Frank Zappa
Joe Bonamassa
Gary Moore
Bjork
Kate Bush
Beth Hart
Kathi McDonald
Bonnie Raitt
Cool! I love when people actually comment on this page. No one seems to look at the pages! Wow – quite a few I’ve never even heard of here! I do love The Beatles. 🙂 Also, Gary Moore & sometimes Kate Bush when she isn’t screeching too much. Lol. (I love This Woman’s Work). I went through a massive phase of being a Pink Floyd fan for a couple of years in my early 20s. I don’t know any you listed between Floyd & The Beatles, other than The Rolling Stones. 🙂
I like all kinds of music especially female vocals. There are some extremely talented women who have fronted bands over the years. Some have since gone to other bands and others have gone solo. Here’s a short list of women I considerd the best:
Geike Amaert-Hooverphonic
Marcela Bovio-Stream Of Passion
Tarja Turunen-Nightwish…Now solo
Sonja Kraushofer-Persephone
Elisa Martin-Dark Moor (left the band several years ago)
Annie Haslam-Renaissance
Interesting – I’ve not heard of any of these!!! It’s funny – I’ve generally never liked songs with female vocals as much & all my favorite bands are male. Being a woman, I feel guilty about that! One top ten list I’d planned at some point is a list of my favorite songs with female vocals. It’ll be an odd assortment. I always wished Laura Branigan had had more songs! 🙂 And I love a song called Heartbeats by The Knife. And Teardrop by Massive Attack. Oh, and I like Robyn! And Grimes. Hmm… Maybe I’ll put that list together soon. I’ll have to check out the ones you’ve mentioned too! 🙂
I went through my collection (female vocal division) and came up with a short list of albums not by the major league names that are favorites and wish had a bigger audience. I’m not much of a Laura Branigan fan…too dance oriented or that other D word..disco. There’s not enough room on the internet to write how much a I hate disco. I do like The Knife.
Okay..enough of this. Here’s the list of top favorite albums. I put them in alphabetical order to make it easier:
Fight Like A Girl-Emilie Autumn
Blood Of Angels-Michelle Belanger w/Nox Arcana
Floating Into The Night-Julee Cruise
Misbehavin’-Joanna Dean
Silver Tree-Lisa Gerrard
16mm-Jorane
Insane Asylum-Kathi McDonald
Bring Me The Workhorse-My Brightest Diamond
Pal Judy-Judy Nylon
Utter Silence-Emily A.Saaen
Wow – that’s quite a list for me to work through! And, again, I’ve never heard of any of them. I better get listening to these on YouTube. Thanks! 🙂 But… I do like disco when I’m in the mood for it. Lol 😉
Good list, although I admit that seeing Foo Fighters and no Nirvana and then – boom – Massive Attack&Air (I listened to them for my whole youth) in the same list almost broke my heart…. It seems that with some exception you’re really into post-punk/dark/new wave and post-everything 😉
Haha! I’m not sure what I’m into, really… I like a lot of genres but I just like a really good song, no matter what genre it’s in. (Except Country music – I can’t stand Country!). I never really liked Nirvana for some reason, even though it’s my late high school era. I preferred Pearl Jam & Alice In Chains. And, yes – definitely prefer the Foo Fighters. 😉
I listen to a lot of different stuff too, but was never really into that kind of rock like Nirvana/FF/PJ… although I’ve still always felt Cobain had a great sendibility. That’s why I asked you that 🙂
