Hmm... Top artists for me would be the following, most of which are 'alternative':

Travis
Keane
No Doubt
John Mayer
The Killers
U2
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Coldplay
Chris Isaak
The Beatles
Death Cab for Cutie (though some of their stuff annoys me!)

I am fond of Tribe Called Quest, though I never hear that kind of music anymore!

I also like some 'world music': Mariza, Cesaria Evora, Ibrahim Ferrer (Buena Vista Social Club), Wolfsheim, Sheila Chandra...

But I really really love 80's music, classical, some pop, dance music, as well, but that's mostly on a song/title basis, rather than a specific artist.

I'll edit this as my memory gets better.

Oh, I stray well beyond metal, so that doesn't surprise me. But most metalheads I do know are loathe to listen to nu metal. So, I was most surprised to see Korn.

:dono:
The first two KoRn albums are brilliant. They're extremely important as they brought an entirely new, original approach to metal. The games with the dynamics they do are gut-punching, and Jonathan Davies' singing style has impacted bands as modern as In Flames. The reason most metalheads hate nu-metal (apart from the fact that it's "fashionable" and "metal" to diss nu-metal) is because they don't like the infantile lyrics and the simplistically aggressive testosterone music. KoRn, however, is very intelligent music, in its own way.
And even though that song's a cover, it's a great song.

I have a lot, but one song that moves me every single time I hear it is "Famous Blue Raincoat" :cry:

I dunno. I tend to listen to albums as whole rather than single songs. But there are certain songs on the radio that, when they come on, stand out above all others. While out driving today and listening to the local classic rock station, "Baby Blue" from Badfinger came on. One of the greatest rock songs ever, in my opinion. But then, however, several songs later, the station played a song I absolutely despise. In fact I hate it so much I had to change the channel. It was some Rolling Stones song. I can't remember which one because I've tried to block it from memory.

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Possibly my favourite song EVAR - sadly too long for a single YT.

STEVEN'S TOP 10 SONGS:

IT'S GRIM UP NORTH (1991) BY THE JUSTIFIED ANCIENTS OF MU MU A.K.A THE JAMS A.K.A THE TIMELORDS A.K.A THE KLF A.K.A THE ONE WORLD ORCHESTRA A.K.A THE K FOUNDATION


Merits inclusion solely by virtue of prompting a question to be raised in the Commons about 'regional inequality'. It's probably also genuinely the best thing on the list. That and the north is a bit shit really.

Sample lyric:
"Bolton, Barnsley, Nelson, Colne, Burnley, Bradford, Buxton, Crewe, Warrington, Widnes, Wigan, Leeds, Northwich, Nantwich, Knutsford, Hull, Sale, Salford, Southport, Leigh, Kirkby, Kearsley, Keighley, Maghull, Harrogate, Huddersfield, Oldham, Lancs, Grimsby, Glossop, Hebden Bridge."

DOCTORIN' THE TARDIS BY THE TIMELORDS A.K.A THE JUSTIFIED ANCIENTS OF MU MU A.K.A THE JAMS A.K.A THE KLF A.K.A THE ONE WORLD ORCHESTRA A.K.A THE K FOUNDATION


The novelty single people will actually admit to liking because they consider it to be a pseudo-ironic postmodern commentary on the state of the music industry. Actually it's a novelty single.

Sample lyric
"Dr. Who! (HEY) Dr. Who
Dr. Who! (HEY) The TARDIS
Dr. Who! (HEY) Dr. Who
Dr. Who doc..Dr. Who
Dr. Who doc..Dr. Who"

SUPERCALIFRAGI BOSSA NOVA BY SAYURI2ASAKAWA


Sample Lyric:
well I can't really do that here but its basically a bossa nova interpretation of songs from Mary Poppins. It's also absolutely hideous.

FEED THE BIRDS BY JULIE ANDREWS


Tender and heartbreaking.

Sample lyric:
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag.
"Feed the birds," that's what she cries,
While overhead, her birds fill the skies."

PORTOBELLO ROAD BY THE CAST OF BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY BY DAVID TOMLINSON


A beautiful pean to multicultural Britain. More importantly if you have a lisp, slur or say it very quickly it sounds like 'Portillo Road'.


Image


Sample lyric:
"Portobollo Road, Portobello Road
Street where the riches of ages are stowed
Artifacts to glorify our regal abode
Are hidden in the flotsam in Portobello road.
You’ll find what you want in the Portobello Road"

Новый год BY SOME RUSSIAN ADOLESCENTS. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A BAND NAME AND IF SO I HATE TO THINK WHAT IT MIGHT BE


A chilling reminder of why the West needed to win the cold war.

Sample lyric:
"NOVY NOVY NOVY NOVY GOAT"

LET IT BE BY FERRY AID


Possibly cheating a bit because the blessed Kate may well be on here somewhere. A powerful message of how all those rich, bloated and complacent musicians can solve all the world's problems in the pursuit of good PR.

Sample lyric:
"When the broken"

WE'LL BE THE CHANGE BY THE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT COMMUNITY CHOIR


A bold existentialist statement on a culture swamped by meaningless political jargon.

Sample lyric:
"We'll be the chaaaange, we'll be the chaaaaange (x50)"

SNOOPY VS THE RED BARON BY THE ROYAL GUARDSMEN


A fitting memorial to the thousands of aviation-related lives lost in a century riven by warfare. Never have so few owed so much to so many AT LEAST UNTIL THE BANKING CRISIS LOL

Sample lyric:
"Up in the sky, a man in a plane
Baron von Richthofen was his name
Eighty men tried and eighty men died
Now they're buried together on the countryside"


SHAKESPEARE'S SONNET 18 AS INTERPRETED BY DAVE GILMOUR


...and some people doubt the contemporary relevance of Shakespeare. A valuable reminder that there's nothing a heavy dose of vaguely pretentious proggy-pop can't improve (apart from Shakespeare).

Sample lyric:
"So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."

It's not a very gay list really- no Bush, ABBA or Benatar.
