Favourite Artists, A Through Z
My favourite artists, from A to Z. |
| 1 | At the Drive-In
Runner up - The Arcade Fire.
Relationship of Command is a brilliant album. |
| 2 | Bob Dylan
Runner up - The Beatles
Dylan narrowly edging out the Beatles, but tough call. |
| 3 | Circa Survive
Runners up - Coheed, Cold Chisel, Cat Stevens.
I don't listen to any of these four a great deal at the moment. |
| 4 | David Bowie
No contest. |
| 5 | Elliott Smith
Easy call. |
| 6 | Florence and the Machine
The only competition in my iTunes library at the moment for 'F' is two songs from Sinatra. Disappointing. |
| 7 | Grizzly Bear
Runners up - Gorillaz and George Harrison.
Based purely on the strength of Veckatimest. |
| 8 | Humperdinck. Engelbert Humperdinck.
Don't own any of the man's records but it's a great name. |
| 9 | Incubus
Not a huge fan any more but the only competition is Ice Cube. |
| 10 | The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Janelle Monae and Joanna Newsom as runners up. |
| 11 | Kate Bush
My other choices here are Kasabian, Kings of Leon and Kylie Minogue. Disappointing. |
| 12 | Led Zeppelin
Runners up are Laura Marling and Lisa Mitchell. |
| 13 | Mos Def
Toughest call since 'B'. Mos Def edges out the Mars Volta, Metallica and Michael Jackson. |
| 14 | Nas
Narrowly beating Nick Drake. |
| 15 | Opeth
Only actually own one album of theirs - don't mind it. |
| 16 | Poison the Well
Runners up are Pearl Jam. |
| 17 | Queen
Beating Queens of the Stone Age, Queensryche, Queen Latifah and an assortment of other similiarly named artists. |
| 18 | Radiohead
Fairly easy choice, with Refused and the Roots as runners up. |
| 19 | Sarah Blasko
Best voice. |
| 20 | Thrice
Consistent quality. A Tribe Called Quest place second. |
| 21 | UB40
Red Red Wine? Bit of a stretch. |
| 22 | Van Morrison
On the strength of Brown Eyed Girl. In a cred crushing revelation, the runners up are the Veronicas who I don't actually listen to at all but twins man! |
| 23 | Wu Tang Clan
They aren't nothing to fuck with. |
| 24 | Xzibit
Not a fan of Xzibit to be honest. X is difficult. Runner up is Xylophone music, just in general. Interesting instrument. |
| 25 | Yellowcard
Once again, not a fan but the list must go on. |
| 26 | Ziggy Marley
In hindsight A-Z wasn't a great idea for a list. |
