I forgot to mention Libby Roderic.

And J-pop.

Greg Brown. A local artist who appears occasionally on Prairie Home Companion.
Three Beers to Dubuque. A very local band that doesn't appear anywhere but on local stages.

Well people, y'all really impressed me with your impeccable taste in music. Does nobody here like silly but fun hit music like Mika, Scissor Sistors, Madonna, Tom Waits ... ... ?

Phew, glad to hear. I mean, the man obviously cannot sing. Luckily there's artists like Rod Steward who can make decent versions of Wait's songs.

too true, i absolutely HATE that song. cannot stand it. definitely do not find it heartbreakingly gorgeous or secretly wish that it had been written for me. never ever ever listen to it endlessly on "repeat one".

glad to see you're getting over missing out on the Wam! tickets.

You know something? I may have not seen the man for the better part of 45 years, but he's a success. You let me know when you are even half the success he is, and we'll talk about your talent.

With respect to Mr. Stewart (not "Steward"), I have also met him on several occasions. In fact, he used to come in to the ice cream parlor I worked at in Westwood in the 70s ... and he was a very nice person as well. I have a feeling that he probably appreciates Tom's music since my conversations with him (over the counter) often moved towards what music he thought I should purchase ... and his tastes were (and I would guess are still) quite varied.

PS: It's properly "there are artists" not "there's artists." If you are going to insult the people I grew up with, at least do it with proper grammar.

Ummm... Ricky?

Irony button was "on" with those posts.

Just sayin'.

Did not see it ..... just sayin'.

If someone is going to say nasty things about people I like .... they better splatter smiley faces alllll over the post. Otherwise, I'm takin' them seriously. And after that, I'm smacking them upside of their heads ... in a virtual way of course.

Long time ago I used to listen to stuff like:
Bauhaus, Einstürzende Neubauten, Sonic Youth, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (up to the Mercy Seat), Butthole Surfers, Pixies so mostly what's now called indie bands but used to be labelled 'noise' (as in "Turn down that noise")
& more regular bands like Guns & Roses, The Cure, Beasty Boys &cetera.

Then at university I discovered the decennia before with the Doors, Rolling Stones, The Stooges (Raw Power !), Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin (anyone of you know Dread Zeppelin ? - one of the most amazingly silly concerts I EVER been witness to ....), . Most of this stuff I can't listen to anymore without developing a headache.

I also started going to the opera rather heavily (I'm a big fan of Callas).

Had an episode that I was heavily into dance music: I discovered The Prodigy and a whole new world opened with house music and Techno, my favourite DJs were Gene Farris and Derrick May. I never before and since been at better parties

No music to just listen to though.

Following a visit to Cuba I started my trip in Latin dance music (Son, Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, ...). The "Buena Vista Social Club" is still one of my favorite CDs of all times. And since I started taking tango lessons I've been absolutely obsessed with tango music (primarily the Golden Age stuff although some of the neotango stuff is ok)

Add to this a dash of 'general' pop music, some early jazz and bossanova, some Sinatra, Jaques Brel, Waits (Rain Dogs), Randy Newman, The Cure, Prince, Michael Jackson, Radiohead, James Brown, The Orb ("little fluffy clouds"), Ween

... oh, and last but not least the soundtracks of
"The Sound of Music" (which I more or less know by heart) to the chagrin of my beloved, and "Mary Poppins".
