If you could only listen to 5 musicians for the rest of your life..

[Kadafi]

Who would they be? Only 5 (artists) musicians/bands dead or alive that you could only listen to their music for the rest of your life.



For me it would be the following:

Florence + The Machine
At.The.Drive.In.
Tupac
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Outkast

 

[Bolshevik***]

you mean 5 artists?

arctic monkeys
the strokes
the beatles
elvis
beastie boys(?)

 

[FLYOVER BOSSMAN]

Florence + the Machines have released two albums...

I can't think of five off the top of my head, but the artist(s) would have to have a prodigious amount of music.

::Edit::

Beethoven
Joe Pass
Christopher Parkening
The Beatles

The fifth would be XTC, The Beach Boys, or Charlie Parker

I really couldn't do it. I just wouldn't listen to music probably. Even bands who are great with a ton of songs, like Floyd, Zeppelin and the Stones, I can barely listen to anymore. I get tired of things quick.

i can appreciate that. oftentimes i'll look through my mp3 player for something to listen to, and out of all the songs it's often difficult to find one that i'm in the mood to hear.

I've never really listened to much of James Brown, but I do like him....and he had 73 studio albums so it'd take a while to get bored.
he is #1 on my list.

Meshuggah
Boards of Canada
Cream
The Roots
