Drake IS your master since you hate it and Toronto raptor wins

[reggie1979]

Wow, Raptors win one WC and he's my master? Um. I'll take the 3 out of 5

I don't have anything like an all time fav, I believe in the concept of ephemeral, like the cherry blossoms thing in Japanese culture.

I've liked artists like The Mars Volta and Kaki King a lot in the past, before that my favs could have been so versatile like The Sex Pistols, Cannibal Corpse, BRMC, Faith No More or Alice in Chains... but these days I have different favorites like Yunomi or Yackle, who knows what will be my favs in a couple of years. I only think I will still enjoy the things I've liked the most in the past and as their music is so different from each other I can't say I like one of my older favs over the new ones.

[reggie1979]

Love the "Mars Volta"

[stxlm]

I would say JS Bach. But apparently he's got nothing on Drake.

[splangie]

As far as contemporary fav pop or at least semi has to be Bob singular and then the Stones followed, sometimes in no particular order except Bob is first and the Stones have always been better than Zeppelin, by The Kinks, Floyd, Cream, Zeppelin, Robert Smith, Beatles, The Dead, a few other dead people and some old bands from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's, 00's, plus the Pixies, Chili Peppers, Nirvana, Moody Blues, Dixie Chicks, Jaco, Priest, Sabbath, Van Morrison, Willie Nelson, Jane's Addiction and Porno, Queen, Chicago, Lightfoot, Meat Puppets (sorta) and a bunch of others.

[reggie1979]

I would say JS Bach. But apparently he's got nothing on Drake.

Hendrix for me. It's mind boggling to think what his musical output could have been had he lived longer.

I had a dream with Hendrix in it last night. He was sat next to me on a sofa and started playing. But he wanted a thinner plectrum! So me and everyone in the room started scrambling around for one. He carried on playing but we weren't paying attention due to looking for a thinner plectrum.

I think my subconscious may be trying to tell me something.

I felt awe to hear him in my dream. That was nice.

Chemical Brothers are big for me right now (seeing them again in November).

I got into rock & roll via Queen, which I discovered in my teens, made me buy an electric guitar circa 2001 while everyone else was listening to Green Day and Blink 182. Queen are the biggest foundation of my musical life, probably. Queen and a lot of English folk festivals.

If you want some Queen you might not have heard before, you can try:
The early prog-y daft grandeur of tracks like Ogre Battle, or March Of The Black Queen - which feels a lot like a precursor to Bohemian Rhapsody. Both heavily feature the very precise vocal multi-tracking that Freddie made his thing.

I enjoyed the whimsy of Brian May's songs too, like the folk song '39 (an early relative of the movie Interstellar) and the seaside-y jazz pastiche Good Company, which finishes with a very complicated arrangement of tight jazz orchestra, all played on multi-tracked guitar by Brian:

"The horn lines on "Good Company" were done on four kinds of guitars. I was very keen in those days on recreating that sort of atmosphere. I mainly got the sound with small amplifiers. I used John Deacon's little amplifier and a volume pedal. For the trombone and trumpet sounds. I would record every note individually: Do it and then drop in. Incredibly painstaking! It took ages and ages. I listened to a lot of traditional jazz music when I was young, so I tried to get the phrasing as it would be if it were played by that instrument."

This is the tape era, remember!
