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

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

 

you mean 5 artists?

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

 

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

 

Nicki minaj
lil wayne
kim kardashian
rebecca black
justin bieber

 

Otis Redding
Al Green
The Roots
Marvin Gaye
Action Bronson

 

1. dylan
2. dylan
3. dylan
4. dylan
5. dylan

kim kardashian released a record? i might have to edit my list ...:icon_lol:

 

Kanye West
Soundgarden
Kendrick Lamar
Incubus

Cant pick a 5th lol

 

Cool, so far people are listing many of my favourites. I'd have to go with:

The Strokes (and all peripheral projects)
Anything Damon Albarn-related (that way I get Blur and the Gorillaz)
Anything RZA-related
Curtis Mayfield
Outkast

 

King Crimson
Pet Shop Boys
Miles Davis
Fishbone
Gipsy Kings

 

Let's go volume:

Prince
Stevie Wonder
Wu-Tang
Invisible Skratch Piklz
Nate Dogg

 

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.

 

Radiohead
Radiohead
Radiohead
Radiohead
Radiohead

 

Holy shit, another Crim fan!


Mine would be:

King Crimson
Steely Dan
Led Zeppelin
Paul Simon
Neil Young

 

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.

 

Definitely see your point.

 

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.

 

Isis
Meshuggah
Boards of Canada
Cream
The Roots

 

Survey says.....

Pink Floyd
Tool
Radiohead
Fleet Foxes
The Beatles

I'd also slip some classic NIN, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, and Soundgarden albums into my back pocket.

 

Beatles
Led Zeppelin
AC/DC
Smashing Pumpkins
