Your top lot?

<< < (10/11) > >>

Thrillho:
If we're pushing for a top 5, I'm going to cheat:

Ryan Adams w/ and w/o the Cardinals or Whiskeytown
Nick Cave (w/ Bad Seeds or Grinderman)
Jeff Tweedy (w/ Wilco or Uncle Tupelo)
Pink Floyd (and all solo careers)
Weezer (plus Rivers' demo compilations)

If you don't like me cheating, then Ryan Adams by himself, Nick Cave w/ the Bad Seeds, Jeff Tweedy w/ Wilco, Pink Floyd w/o solo careers and Weezer w/o the demo compilations. Mmmmm'kay?

You know, for a long time it was very hard for me to pin down a handful of unimpeachable favorites, but I think at this point the three musical entities I will never get over and will always to listen to again are Joy Division, Tom Waits and Boris. Oh, and David Bowie. But I need to cut myself off there or I am liable to babble. For some reason or another I connect with music made by these people in a unique emotion and visceral level that is not as consistent or nonexistent with other artists.  And whenever I really listen to them, as music is in some cases meant to be listened, without distractions and utterly focused on the content and sound, the result is always mind-altering.  And for me that is what it means for them to be my "top lot."

For a while, I thought I was over Björk. I listened to Vespertine again, recently, and remembered that it is still the best album ever.

Joanna Newsom follows in a close second with The Milk-Eyed Mender.

Going to school in Michigan, I heard of a local folk group called Breathe Owl Breathe. They are now my third favorite band.

After this, it gets kinda fuzzy. Recently, Laura Gibson has carved out a rather special portion of my heart.
