The artists/musicians that I cannot get enough has changed and continues to change with the passage of time. In the past it has included Springsteen and Dylan, but my last true obsessions were with Lucinda Williams and The Cowboy Junkies. At one time Lucinda’s catalog was so limited that I was buying a lot of CDs by other artists and cover CDs that she appeared on, in order to make CDs consisting of tracks that featured her voice. At about the same time I probably would have given Steve Earle honorable mention in that category. The phase of my life where I could not get enough of those last three particular artists ended 20 to 25 years ago, and since then I do not know that there are any artists that would meet that criteria, although there have been times I was listening to a lot of Linda Ronstadt or Patricia Barber or Jacintha or. . . . But I cannot honestly say that at this point in my life there are any artists that I simply cannot live without hearing, although there are several that I do enjoy listening to more frequently than others. |

Van Morrison (1968 - 1987) REM (1982 - 1987) John Coltrane (1960 - 1965 classic quartet phase) Miles Davis (1965 - 1970) Sun Ra (1956 - 1962) Herbie Hancock (1962 - 1966) Bob Dylan (1965 - 1975) The Rolling Stones (1966 - 1972) Sly & The Family Stone (1969 - 1973) Jefferson Airplane (1966 - 1969) Neil Young (1969 - 1979) The Velvet Underground David Bowie (1970 - 1980) Bob Marley Patti Smith Roxy Music Aimee Mann The Brian Jonestown Massacre

Hi. I’m the OP from the other thread…’’Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen to?’’ It was interesting to see the replies on this newer thread but l notice most are just a long list of names…..no facts as to why or what drives the appreciation of the artists. Your list has added a new dimension to some of the long standing acts still active today……a time base. From what l deduce these time periods either offer up (in your opinion) the artists in their prime, or the period they meant the most to you? @kb54 …..a good insight. We are already aquainted through my post on the adverse effects of recording artists and has offered up the best reply so far to this new subject…..A really comprehensive and heartfelt answer to the OP @tomcarr |
