What artists can you not get enough of?


I liked reading the thread about artists you can't stand, so I'm curious which artists you like so much you never get tired of.

From the question I assume you mean the ones I spin the most, so these are my current top 20:

  1. Boz Scaggs
  2. Elvis Costello
  3. Burt Bacharach
  4. Burt Bacharach and Daniel Tashian - Blue Umbrella Recordings
  5. Chet Baker
  6. Bill Evans
  7. Pat Metheny & Lyle Mays
  8. The Allman Brothers
  9. Michael McDonald (with & without the Doobie Bros)
  10. Pink Floyd
  11. Jackson Browne
  12. Jimi Hendrix
  13. Beck
  14. Paul Simon
  15. Tears for Fears
  16. Yes
  17. Shostakovich
  18. Mahler 
  19. Ralph Vaughan-Williams
  20. Mozart 

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
