apart from floyd / barrett, what other bands or artists do you most enjoy? For me, I like listening to a lot of Classical (beethoven, chopin, bach, bartok, Stockhausen, Shostakovich, Penderecki, Ligeti being my most frequent listens). On the guitar-based musicfront, I really like Pavement, Jimi Hendrix, Dillinger Escape Plan, Donovan, King Crimson, some Springsteen (his acoustic stuff) and early Dylan, the Beatles, Canned Heat, Doc Watson, Sonny terry & Brownie Mcghee...that's all I can think of right now. On the electronic front, I like Kraftwerk, some Tangerine Dream (the earlier stuff), Aphex Twin, Plaid, some Autechre, Venetian Snares... on the hip hop front I love Public Enemy, and I like Gravediggaz, Dr Octagon, the Coup, the X Clan. Also, I really like Nina Simone (R.I.P.)

well, i'm about done with my favourites - what are your other listening pleasures? :)

Then there's AC/DC, Dire Straits, ELO, Solution, Led Zeppelin, King Crimson, and about thirty other bands. $\:D/$

Good point, potw. If marlowe could post there, we could then delete this thread.

It wasn't THAT big, I'm sure many of you have much bigger lists!

Well, your's was everything, not just your favourites! Unless you couldn't live without every single album in your collection!

My top 5 favorite bands of all time: Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Black Crowes, Smashing Pumpkins. Modest Mouse is probably my favorite that is currently out right now.

I like to think I have a pretty varied musical collection, but there are certain acts I keep going back to, the three main ones being Pink Floyd, The Beatles, and The Beach Boys. I would also include The Who, Oasis, Paul Weller, Nick Drake and CSN&Y as well. I have lately I've been listening to a lot of classical music, english folk-rock (especially Fairport Convention, and the previously mentioned Nick Drake), and some of Brian Eno's ambient albums like MUSIC FOR AIRPORTS, and DISCREET MUSIC.

Stratovarius

Heh, I feel like I have to comment that somehow, but... no...

I've seen them live once though.

Currently I'm really into Mansun again, and I still think their album 'Six' is one of THE best (prog-)rock albums of the nineties. Too bad they just split up though...

And they'd just apparently finished recording their new album, I guess they weren't happy with it, and called it quits.....
