Most listened to artist


If you had to guess, which 10 artists have you listened to the most in your lifetime?

Meaning every time you've selected a particular artist's 8-Track, Cassette, LP and CD at home, in your car, at a party, at the beach, wherever.

Mine, in no particular order, would be: The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Kinks, XTC, Elvis Costello, Kate Bush, King Crimson, David Bowie, Brand X.

Mannheim Steamroller

Tori Amos

Yes

Peter Gabriel

Heart

Jethro Tull

Alan Parsons

 Anyway i like your picks...

It is just i enjoy listening  Cat Stevens ( a genius melodist ) casually by chance at radio mainly ( i do not change the radio frequency)  and i listen Bach 1 hour at least   almost each week  sometimes more since 50 years...

A lifetime includes, for me, a fair amount of ground

Early years: Paul Revere and the Raiders, The Trogs, The Animals.

60's-70's: All bands referred to as "classic rock" today (extensively listed above), including The Guess Who. Blue Oyster Cult.

80's: Clash, UB40, Pretenders, Prince, REM, Replacements, Talking Heads, Graham Parker, E. Costello, Michael Hedges, X, Los Lobos.

90's: U2, Beck, Radiohead, Blur.

2,000's on: Iron & Wine, Kurt Vile, PJ Harvey, 

From the 70's on (hats off to mahgister), Bach rules supreme.

If one were asked to name one musician who came closest to composing without human flaw, I suppose general consensus would choose Johann Sebastian Bach...
