Another great thread, sharon!

EP, that's a helluva list! Except you missed one-Buddy Guy. And, I can't believe you didn't have Neil Young #1 and in caps!!

My faves (in no particular order):

Radiohead

Poi Dog Pondering-check 'em out. Pomegranate is a masterpiece.

The Verve

Tool-a friend once described them as "a heavier version of Pink Floyd"

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Beatles

Pink Floyd

Springsteen

Varelse, the members of Zeppelin were talented musicians, but, they plagarized many of their most popular songs. There is a lot of information about this. Here are just two links.

A good spinoff to this thread could be best albums. For example, Moby's Play is a favorite, but his body of work keeps me from putting him on my list.

It is funny, Kid Rock lives in my hometown.  His son went to my high school.  I remember his son being there for a year before I graduated.  He was really quiet and a bit of a troublemaker, but since I was older than him, I honestly did not give him very much attention, and I rarely passed by him.

That is very interesting.

I grew up just a bit west of there. Union Lake area. Never remember seeing Kid Rock though.

Folks would see Bob Seger occasionally, however.

Good choices, but no Mozart?

I do enjoy listening and playing Satie pieces.  Pieczonka is also good.

I know that area...I think that is where my family took our dog to be boarded on vacations (or the vet...don't really remember).  Yeah while I might have "technically" lived in Clarkston, I am more by the Davisburg/White Lake area.  Or in general the boonies Smile
