What 3 MUSICIANS had a HUGE IMPACT on you?
Off the top of your head.
I think this may give each of us a better understanding of where others are coming from in discussing the nuance of how we work.
Comments
Debussy (Ravel), Chick Corea (Herbie Hancock), and Miles Davis.
That's five man!
But good picks
The Alan Parsons Project, Jean Michel Jarre, Mike Oldfield
Dean Wareham (most of my stuff is ripped off straight from Galaxie 500)
Elliott Smith, because he wrote the saddest songs, a modern day Nick Drake, but somehow even more tragic.
And if there was one musician I wished I could be, it be J Mascis, because he is the best guitarist ever (IMO of course).
The Jesus and Mary Chain don't actually figure on this list, that's a note for Johnny Goodyear
vangelis, grandmaster flash and the furious 5, and bad brains
Wagner, Beatles and MF DOOM
Brian Wilson, Joy Division/New Order, The Cure
Laurie Anderson, Mark E. Smith and Tycho.
If I got to choose 5, it would be much different. :-)
From different life stages:
Elvis Costello (college, his Columbia Records years)
Stephen Malkmus (my 20's to present)
Carl Newman (my 30's to present).
These favorites of mine all create primarily guitar-oriented pop-rock, which is peculiar because my instrument is the synth. Even though I idolize these guys, 99% of what I listen to today is new music in the indie pop-rock genre. Also, these days I listen to more singles than albums.
My "desert island" artist, if I had to pick just one, would be Stephen Malkmus (including his years leading Pavement). I have yet to meet anyone who likes Malkmus anywhere near as much as I do. Most people can't stand his voice. I have hope that I might find a fan or two here ( @richardyot maybe? J Mascis is another guy with a voice that seems to rub people the wrong way).
Too hard
I was at that infamous show where HR got arrested for beating-up their manager.
Difficult, difficult....but for emotional 'impact' off the top of me head, musicians (singular):
Daevid Allen, Kate Bush, John Lennon
Good choice, I love the Fall. Met him once, lovely bloke
Another good one. I used to live in Kington, and cycled up nearby Hergest Ridge most days. The house I lived in was owned by one of his drinking buddies, and apparently he spent many a night in the front room after hours. He asked the bloke I bought the house off (a music teacher) if he wanted to be on his next album (Ommadawn), but the teacher told MO he 'couldn't be bothered'.
hmmm...... This is a goooood thread.
Alex Skolnick - Testament guitarist
The Beach Boys
And my friend, Greg Gilbertson - Best guitar player I know.
Now, if I could play/sing as good as any of them, that would be a big++++. O well............
My friend Greg
Alex Lifeson
Stewart Copeland
Jon Lord
Robert Smith (The Cure) / Tracy Chapman / Adam Duritz (Counting Crows) / Many many others...
@thus Yes I am a Pavement fan, saw them supporting Sonic Youth just after the release of Slanted and Enchanted, when they still had the crazy drummer. I think Malkmus has a great voice, and is a great songwriter as well. Although I do think Pavement lost their way after the first couple of albums, and have only listened to his first solo album.
Can't believe I left out the mighty Ludwig Van ... I must be having an off day!
