Pink Floyd. Diverse and extensive catalog and something for every mood.

There’s an interesting thread right now in this forum about how to separate the artist and their personalities from their works and to me, Pink Floyd is a great example. Love their music but Roger Waters is becoming more and more an obnoxious, ridiculous asshole and it’s really making it hard for me to enjoy the music I used to cherish.

Oh, he’s a raging ass. I also still listen to Michael Jackson and Kid Rocks first album. If I’m listening to music all I care about is the music. Is Kevin Spacey being a pedo supposed to make me not like Se7en?

I totally get you. The song, the script, the producing team… they are not to blame for the the author, singer or director. Yet for me is kinda hard to separate them. MJ is an excellent example.

Grateful Dead. I mean, I've already been a Deadicated daily listener for over half my life (so far)...so I might as well keep going.

Radiohead or Arcade Fire. Arcade Fire is the band that got me into music, and Radiohead is just magical.

Alice in chains. When I first heard that Layne Staley died, my first (selfish) thought was "this is going to be bad for me"

Fun fact, coldplay stole music from kraftwerk.

They didn't steal it, they asked for permission and received it from Ralf Hutter.

Thank you. I never actually did the homework to see if they got permission... I just heard the identical riff and thought wow, they stole this shit.... but you have opened my eyes to the truth, so thank you again.

I saw Tom Petty up above and that would be my second. I am going to be Cliche and say The Beatles because they have always been my favorite and thier music got me through some hard times when I was in High School in the early 90's.

Group: Nitty Gritty Dirt Band or The Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Single artist: who else but Bob Dylan. 😻

Gorillaz? Really?

Arguably, it’s not a band; as most of it is animated.

Fun fact. The melody and beat from Clint Eastwood wasn’t even written! It was the ‘demo’ track on some old piece of music equipment.

To answer the question. If I can’t have variety, I’d rather live in silence.

It’s very “arguable” that they’re not a band, because cartoons can’t write and perform music. That is the work of Deltron, Damon, Cibo Matto, and the visual artist. Your argument is super-floppy. Gorillaz a band, and, more subjectively, I think they’re pretty good!

thebunkmeister OP t1_jcncjew wrote

Have you ever listened to their discography? And also the "animation" is Jamie Hewlet... the music is Damon Albarn and tons of other collaborative artist... and they're definitely a band of some sort... Clint Eastwood is the radio sex that simpletons groove to, and I know they used a pre-recorded instrument... infact Damon posted a story where he said work smarter, not harder... Also, eat a whole case of wieners because you have no idea what you're talking about mate.
