If you had to choose an artist after the Stones who would it be?
For me it's Lou Reed

Love to see Ween on there! They were supposed to play Nashville on 4/20 but cancelled. What is your favorite Ween album?

I am equally glad to see another Ween supporter. The Stones have always been my favorite band, but IMO it is only at times I'd call their inspiration 'genius'.
Ween, to me is straight up genius. I think every one of their albums has been my favorite once. "the Mollusk'' think 'Quebec' is pretty commercial, and has many of their best songs.

The Tragically Hip, I’m from Canada eh.

I was scrolling through to see if anyone else had good taste!

Of currently active artists (thus excluding Bowie, etc.): Jack White, the Hives, and the Kills.

Of course there is no one. How can be?

Them and Dylan. No feel or need to follow anyone else. Thank god - that's more than enough.

Surely I like so much many different things - but that's a different thing.

Agree on this. After the Stones, Van and Dylan are all I own and really need.

Of course I listen to a lot of other bands/artists but usually just a song or two at a time. A recent playlist on YouTube included David Gray, The Romantics, A.A. Bondy, Bruce Cockburn, The Supremes, Joe Jackson, The Grateful Dead, The Jam, and Supergrass. I am not a big fan of any of them – in fact, if you were to drag me to a Grateful Dead concert I would consider it extreme torture – but they all have at least one song I dig (‘Friend of the Devil’ in the case of GD) and played consecutively it makes for a better listening experience than spinning Hackney Diamonds (IMHO).

I'm in good company with Doxa and and Swayed 1967. Always felt this way, and no one else
has come along.

Dion

Oh I thought this was going to be a thread about who you’re gonna go see live once they finally stop performing. I’m so happy they’re still touring. I’m trying to see all the greats before they pack it in. One wonders who’s gonna pick up the torch? Can’t say I’m a huge fan of too many of the more modern acts that are big enough to hold a stadiums’ attention. For my money nobody does that better than Mick Jagger!

John Coltrane!

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band: The 1970's to about 1982
Bob Dylan: 1962 to about the Mid-1980's

And as long as I am mentioning time frames, then
The Rolling Stones would be: 1964 to about 1981

You got the time frames right. Artist's best production is when young up to 35 years old. Maybe 40.

What were Pablo Picasso best years? We have one of his famous in a limited lithograph of 200 That me parents bought in Europe in 1960

The Stones are my favorite, but if I ever need a rare break;


Robert Hunter
Hot Tuna
Blind Willie McTell
The Who
Beethoven & Mozart

"Well my heavy throbbers itchin' just to lay a solid rhythm down"

AC/DC is my fav band.

I've bought pretty much everything The Who have ever released and I've seen them several times since the early 70s onwards...

....But my feeling for them has always been one more of respect than affection.

Could never really love them. Not sure why.


[Similar thing with Hendrix for me.

I wouldn't dispute his greatness for one minute...but I'd rather listen to Rory Gallagher or Richard Thompson play the guitar any day of the week.]
