Top 3 Favorite Musician/Band?

JordonGreene · 07-14-2016, 03:51 PM

Just a simple question so we can see another aspect of each other's lives. Who are your top three favorite musicians/bands? Here are mine in no particular order.

Bring Me the Horizon
Asking Alexandria
Five Finger Death Punch

I must admit though, that it at times this changes with others. Basically I like heavy metal and punk rock/metalcore.

Hi Jordan. Welcome.

That's a pretty difficult question, ask me the same tomorrow and the answer could be different, but, I'll go for my favourite three as;

Captain Beefheart
The Rolling Stones
Paul Simon

I think that there are single songs from other bands that I might like better, but those three are the bands I listen to the most.

I must admit that I've never heard of any of your three choices.

Neil Diamond
Def Leppard
Bob Dylan's songs as long as someone else is singing.

I've not heard of Five Iron Frenzy, but I do like Red and Disciple. I was first introduced to rock by Skillet actually, and though I prefer their older music I still like them! I was just listening to Red the other day actually.

Yeah, it's definitely a hard answer, and I agree it can and does change. I know who The Rolling Stones are (as in I know the name and I'm sure I've heard some of their songs, but I couldn't tell you what) and I think Paul Simon rings a bell. Sorry.

Most of mine are younger newer bands in hard rock, not as main stream.

For Paul Simon,
He was the Simon in Simon and Garfunkel. Mrs. Robinson, Scarborough Fair, Bridge over Troubled Water. His solo songs include You can call me Al, 50 Ways to leave your lover and One Trick Pony.

I have a different set of artists for multiple genres, but I guess I mostly listen to Electronic/Space/Ambient music, so:

1 - David Wright
2 - Kitaro
3 - Gert Emmens (solo or with Ruud Heij)

Cinisajoy · 07-15-2016, 12:04 AM

Oh and my fourth choice would be The Eagles.

I pondered this for a while and find I just can't really answer. Depending on a multitude of things I favor too many type of music to pick just three favorites. I might listen to Iced Earth one time and the next might have a craving for Glenn Miller or The Beatles. Might go for some Coltrane (as in John) or the Purple One (may he R.I.P.). The Minnesota Orchestra doing some Beethoven is great, but then so is a little Radiohead or ELO and there is always room for some Queen.

EDIT: Okay, I'll list three that come to mind right now. The list will change before the night is over though.

Queen
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Itzhak Perlman (since doubleshuffle has me thinking violinists

)

Not to mention Kodachrome, Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard, Still Crazy After All These Years and Mother and Child Reunion.

doubleshuffle · 07-15-2016, 01:04 AM

Hard to limit to three, because I listen to different genres at different times. Three isn't even enough for the true gods and goddesses. Anyway:

Bob Dylan (singing himself

, though I must admit his voice is down the drain now)
Thelonious Monk
Hilary Hahn

Open to change/additions.

doubleshuffle · 07-15-2016, 01:15 AM

Three is really impossible. Sorry, but there's more:

Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, John Coltrane

The Who, Small Faces

Rosanne Cash, Judy Collins, Lisa Hannigan, Emily Baker

Capercaillie, Clannad (before they went all New Age and mushy)

Tal Wilkenfeld

Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday

The Band

and on and on and on...

Good choices.

Was just listening to an older Hilary Hahn CD last night.

doubleshuffle · 07-15-2016, 01:21 AM

Yes, Hilary Hahn is amazing. I saw her in concert twice. She's one of those musicians who open up spaces you didn't know were there before.
