The oldr stuff of: Genesis Pink Floyd Jethro Tull Yes CSNY, and much of their solo stuff Dire Straits (selective) Steely Dan (used to think they were disco) The Dead (and dead musicians in general)
but I do evolve... Wilco Billy Strings Steve Hackett , Mark Knipfler (not much evolution there) Mary Chapin Carpenter Lana Del Ray Buckethead Tons of one offs of new music, but the albums don't hold me like the old stuff. There is a ton of great music and well recorded music out there now.

Band-Maid, easily the best band in the world right now. I’m a refugee from the sixties and love the Stones, but Band Maid is coming in a close second of late. They’re a great live group. Catch any of their official live performances on Youtube and you’ll be amazed. Try their performances of "Domination", "Play", "Hate" and many others, I thought rock was good as dead, but now turn on Youtube to see and hear Band-Maid every day. Haven’t done that since playing the Rolling Stones albums in ’69 and ’70 soon as getting home from high school. Give yourself a well deserved treat in your old age, check Band-Maid out and thank me later. They've an astronomically high number of views world wide on You Tube and a rabid base of fans of all ages. Mike |
@skyscraper #1 Band Maid Have followed them for a while. Incredible hard driving sound. Love it. THIS makes me want to turn it up louder!! Also listen to Zepperella, a Zepplin tribute band. Great guitar work from the grand master of rock, Jimmy Page. 'Whole lotta love' these women do an incredible job. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6sgQ-7aHwk

From the question I assume you mean the ones I spin the most, so these are my current top 20:
As one of my best friends says 'too much music, too little time' and for my extra picks Nick Drake, Jeff Beck, John Coltrane, Stan Getz, John Martyn and many more......

I’ll rephrase the original question slightly. The artists I can listen to their whole catalog, and listen to day after day. (also based on what is in my library): Talking Heads The Byrds J.S. Bach Next tier: (may need a break between - not quite day after day) Dire Strits Pat Metheny Leo Kottke Ry Cooder Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

This last cycle started with Nurse With Wound, BTW the entire NWW catalog is available from band camp as a download for around $500 nurse with wound stereolab can loop carseat headrest flaming lips cowboy bebop anita o'day philip glass george antheil emahoy tsege mariam gebru (and my my most recent obsessions-- love the Sahara Sound, even if it comes from Germany): horse girl karl hector and the malcouns |
