If you could only listen to 10 artists..

[Jack]

.. for the rest of your life, who would they be? I'm still thinking about mine, but in there would certainly be:

R.E.M.
Oasis

I haven't got very far. I'll add shortly.

How about yours?

 

[Chuffy]

Manet, but before he went electric.
REM
Banco de Gaia
Sarah Mclachlan
Struggling now....

 

[Keith Oates]

That's tough one, I'll answer that in about a week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But Kiri Takanawa will be on it!!

 

[fuzzy29]

Here's my first thoughts, although this might change in the next hour or two!

Stone Roses
The Beetles
Gogol Bordello
Fun Lovin' Criminals
Garbage
Led Zeppelin
Gomez
The Presidents of the United States of America
Stevie Wonder
The Kinks

 

[Bigtallfatbloke]

Deep Purple
Rainbow
Black Sabbath
Led Zeppelin
Yngwie Malmsteen
Pink Floyd
Queensryche
Deep Purple
Deep Purple
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

 

[Smeggers]

The Smiths
New Order
REM
Maximo Park
Turin Brakes
Seth Lakeman
Radiohead

... erm will add some more later

 

[Jack]

Ok my first five, having pondered:

R.E.M.
Oasis
Beatles
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Radiohead

 

[Fnaar]

Weller, Wonder, Kinks, Small Faces, Smiths, Dexys, er...etc

 

[SamNichols]

Oscar Peterson
John Coltrane
Mozart
Vaughan Williams
Bjork
Lou Reed/The Velvet Underground (can they count as one artist? Please?)
Enablers
God Speed! You Black Emperor
Sufjan Stevens
Schubert

Ideally more classical and jazz would be in there, but I need the variation. Sufjan's on there due to the fact that he's got 48 states left to go in his an album for each state of America project - so, 50 albums would be a good catalogue to have at any time.

A agree with the idea of variation.

Also, opportunity to experience more music, so I'd include Led Zeppelin as I feel I'm woefully unaware of their music.

I'd add Ben Folds. Because I like it (can I have the solo and band stuff please??)

I'd also be tempted with the Beatles and REM as they have both a wide range, and a long list, of potential entries.

Maybe U2....

 

[Dayvo]

At this stage, without giving it too much thought, I'd go for 'Various Artists'. They were always good!

 

[twowheelsgood]

Led Zep
Mozart
Beethoven
Nick Drake
John Cale
Sparks (ok, just me then)
The Clash
Bowie
David Sylvian
+ one other

 

[mosschops2]

What, like the entire HITS and NOW! back catalogue??

No thank you!!!

 

[MichaelM]

No Neil Young yet!

Shocking.

Rush
UB40
Iron Maiden
