Bands you couldn't live without

[NetCat]

I think the board needs a new topic.

So, if you could only listen to 10 bands for the rest of your life who would it be? This includes work they have done with others. 

Here's mine

1. The Grateful Dead

2. Led Zeppelin 

3. Eric Clapton

4. Jimi Hendrix

5. Pink Floyd

6. Muddy Waters

7. Howlin Wolf

8. The Beatles

9. Carlos Santana

10. Bob Dylan

Everyone of those are awesome picks. Led Zeppelin is probably my number one with Pink Floyd number 2. But I love me some good ole southern rock too. Allman Bros, Skynyrd, Blackfoot. And then there’s Van Halen. I love old Van Halen. Plus you gotta have early RUSH in there (listen to the Necromancer). But man I’d have a hard time with a top 10. Last night by the campfire, I listened to everything from Merle Haggard, Zeppelin, Dr. John, Black Sabbath,  the Temptations to 2LiveCrew to DaBaby. I really like all genres. Classic Rock is possibly my mainstay, but it really depends on what I’m in the mood for.

Lot of good ones there, love the early Allman Brothers (before Duane died). I don't hate on any music in particular, but I'm a guitar guy.

I'd argue that RUSH is good all the time.

I’m a guitar guy too, hence the Van Halen inclusion. Stevie Ray’s Lenny & Riviera Paradise instrumentals are awesome. Mark Knopfler another I really enjoy.

Now were talking. Great idea. I can agree with half of your list. My ex ruined most of the beatles for me, but Ringo changed drumming forever and that has to be worth something. I can't narrow all the music I listen to down to 10 bands. So I'll focus on a few different genres...

Rap... UGK, Scarface, Eminem, 2pac, Bone Thugs. And I'm also a screw head

Classic rock... Led Zeppelin, Clapton, ZZ Top, Hendrix, Blind Faith (only one album but it is deep, check it out if you haven't heard it)

Modern rock... 311, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Weezer, Pearl Jam

Country... Willie Nelson, Randy Travis, Kenny Chesney, Zac Brown Band 

 

Yea I know it's kinda all over the place. I've been listening to Phil Collins tonight at work. Just depends on the mood and the atmosphere.

Some great choices in there! Love ZZ Top, just listened to the Tres Hombres album yesterday.

It's hard to narrow it down, but I've had this discussion with friends and family many times. Just 10 is tough.

Have you seen the fold out? Looks like the most legendary Mexican food you could get! Heck of a spread.

Who do you not like on mine besides the Beatles? Not a big Rap guy but I've listened to all of those but UGK. What era of Rap is UGK from and where? 

[NetCat]

@Hagar @baddog @BS Wildcats @stevenash @AggiesAreWe @WOSgrad @Mr. Buddy Garrity @UT alum @Big girl @BLUEDOVE3 Who is y'all's bands?

Dont get me wrong, I like the beatles, just cant listen to them anymore.

The Grateful Dead isn't for me, and I dont recall Howlin Wolf.

UGK is actually from Port Arthur. Most of there music was mid 90s til like 2010 when Pimp C passed. But his brother Bun B still holds it down.

If anyone is on pandora, there is a feature to share playlists. Hit me up and maybe I'll share.

Also this would be a great place to post new music for others to hear. Just not sure how "forum rules" would apply to explicit lyrics or other references that could be deemed offensive. @WOSgrad???

Love Knopfler’s music. I used to have his Martin Guitar Signature Edition. Wish I never sold it.

He’s great. He did a duo with Chet Atkins years ago. Pretty cool.

You need to look up Howlin Wolf if you like the Blues at all. He was also a big influence on the Stones and other early Rock and Rollers. Thanks for the info on UGK, I'll definitely have to look them up now that I know they're local.

Completely understand about not being able to listen after a girl.

If you like Zeppelin then you might like early Dead. Before PigPen died they were more bluesy. Try St. Steven on the Live album from 69.

I've got a solo album of his floating around somewhere that I put on occasionally. Who would be the 10 you couldn't live without?
