I can go on.............

Holy shit, never thought I'd see another Prince fan that likes Teddyloid. I love the soundtrack he did for Panty and Stocking. Absolute 10/10 OST, one of my favourites.

As for me, I honestly like so much music it's really hard to decide. I just know that the two artists I generally listen to at all times (I can go through phases) are Prince and Rush. But I like a lot of genres I guess. Not my 'top 5' but I like:

-The Cure

-The Smiths

-Duran Duran

-Rick James

-Depeche Mode

-Opus III

-Supercell

-R.E.M

-Animal Collective

-(honestly don't laugh, I know they're not exactly pinacle patrician musical choice but their early stuff I love to death) MSI

-Some NIN (Not a huuuuuuge fan of the heavy stuff but I love Pretty Hate Machine, dat Prince sample on 'Ringfinger' tbh)

There is more that I like but that's all I can think of for now, I would have put The Time on there but I guess they are too Prince related to qualify??

Mindless Self Indulgence is the shit waddya talkin' about lmao forgot to add that on the list.

TeddyLoid songs are so fuckin' dope though (I have both P&S albums on my ipod, OST and Worst Album), Reason why i kinda added it there is because i recently listened to a song called Pipo Password that was from an anime called 'Space Patrol Luluco' (check it out, it's by the same person that made Kill La Kill, i love it omfg gotta love Studio Trigger), also ME!ME!ME! is such a trippy and groundbreaking song i've listen...especially the whole music video.

[Edited 6/30/16 19:03pm]

Omg yes! Their first two albums, Tight and Frankenstein Girls will seem Strangely Sexy are my favourites! Somehow I just always get sort of embarrassed of liking a band so much when most of the lyrics are so uh...up front haha.

Ahh yeah I've seen a couple of episodes of Space Patrol Luluco! I kinda got more into Kiznaiver though, need to finish SPL off. I'm a big fan of Studio Trigger, KLK is one of my favourite animes I've watched, I cosplay Ryuko quite a lot. I agree tho about ME!ME!ME!, when you look past the facade of 'weird wtf Japan' stuff you see it's a really deep statement on the situation many young people in Japan are in. GaijinGoomba on Youtube did a brill video about it.

Yes their early stuff has some sort a nostalgic feel idk why it's so great, Songs like Do Unto Others, Tornado, or Bring The Pain ughhh <3 Their albums and live albums are p good up until If and that's where I lost track after that lol, I always wanted to see them in concert someday.

I finished watching SPL in under 3 hours (13 7 min eps makes it almost 90 mins lmao), It's such a cute fun series, i enjoyed it alot. I have a bunch of anime i need get into and Kiznaiver is on that list. cool i should check out his video, i do love me some 'weird wtf japan' stuff btw.

I see that you're cosplaying ryuko on twitter, nicee. I have that jacket that she wore on the 1st ep. its so badass.

Yes! I love all of those songs, did you ever hear the remix they did of Bring the Pain? It's so good! I'm the same with you though, after 'If' they lost me. I just really like the very sampley hip-hoppy crazy feel of their early stuff. I want to see them live too. My friend went to see them once and she met them! She said they were all really nice. I probably would have gone with her but at the time I wasn't actually into them. They were HUGE when I was in school (a lot of scene kids liked them) but when I was in school I was heavy into more '80s stuff so stuff like The Cure so they didn't appeal to me at the time. So I only got into them in the past few years.

And yeah Kiznaiver is really good! If you saw Black Rock Shooter I'll say it defo shares the same vein (both shows were written by the same person).

And yup I am! Been working really hard on it, it's the first cosplay I've actually ever properly made 100% myself so it might not come out perfect but I'm happy with it so far. And ahh thats so cool that you have her jacket, those style of jackets seem really in fashion atm too, I would wear it as everyday clothes if I had it, not just as cosplay

Ahh no i didn't! which remix tho? i wanna listen
I used to have a friend from my old college who went to see them and met with all of the band members, after he like showed me the pics he took, i was in awe about it until he starts telling me that i'm 'gushing over Jimmy' i'm like nooooo i'm not stop! lmao i should've told him to stop gushing over lyn-z , Jimmy seems so fuckin' awesome tho, i wanna be his friend so much and talk about animation since he has a huge love for it. hm i liked them since i was in 7th grade? and i remember that i felt like i'm the only one that likes them (and this was a emo/scene infested school i attended!) whenever i bring them up in convos about music, which was fine i like my bands unpopular that way.
Never heard of Black Rock Shooter, I will check that out. I only saw 5 animes in my life entirely (KLK, Little Witch Academia 1&2, Panty and Stocking and SPL) and i have a long way to go, shit lol

[Edited 7/2/16 17:06pm]

I'l try this. In no order, maybe:

.

1. The Beatles

2. The Stone Roses

3. Bob Dylan

4. The Police and Sting (until 1993)

5. U2 (circa 1980 to 1993)

.

Just bubbling under: Bob Marley, The Byrds, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder (circa 1969 to 1982), Joan Baez, etc...

In no particular order, here's 5 of my favorites, besides Prince, and the reasons I love them and thanks for reading :

Elvis Presley

(My dad is a huge Elvis fan and now his music is also one of my favorites. Smooth as silk voice and catchy, upbeat songs as well as the memorable love themes.)

H.I.M.

(Finnish band that I haven't seen mentioned here, but lord, excellent sound, lyrics, and vocals by lead singer Ville Valo. His voice makes me melt! Beautiful song writing with themes of love, lust, romance, and heartbreak set to a metal sound. Love, love, love them! Please check them out if you've never heard them: https://www.youtube.com/w...h2a-Rj5kbQ and this one too, excellent live: https://www.youtube.com/w...kfm2ZMhcZU)

Marilyn Manson

(Interesting vocals and sound. This guy really has some talent lyrically and has some rather romantic themes despite a rough and tough presentation at times. He evolves about every album he does and it's always interesting.)

Duran Duran

(I love these guys. They have longevity and they still sound amazing! They've always had catchy, unforgettable songs and they always brighten my mood. Unique band for sure as they have stood out from the rest from the beginning.)

L7

(90s grunge all girl group. I love their in your face attitude and sound. I can rock out to their music consistently and never get tired of it. These gals rock harder than most dudes lol.)

Miles Davis

Keith Jarrett

Led Zeppelin

The Beatles

Herbie Hancock

But ask me tomorrow and I'll give you another list (except for Miles Davis and Keith Jarrett - that's not negotiable )

definitely in particular order...

Mothers of Invention

Funkadelic/Parliament

Sly & The Family Stone

Led Zeppelin

James Brown

Miles Davis

Frank Zappa

Josh Rouse

Pat Metheny

Stevie Wonder

Joe Jackson

So hard after him. Definitely would have to include

Beatles

Stevie Wonder

Neil Young

Pavement

De La Soul

NorthC said:

Okay, it took 6 pages, but we finally have someone who likes Joe Jackson! Also nice to see Mr. Zappa getting some love.

But it since I was asked to limit the list to 5 artists, it didn't include

Johnny Guitar Watson

Wally Badarou

Milton Nascimento

Roger Waters

Angelique Kidjo

Savourna Stevenson

Suzanne Vega

Talking Heads

Todd Rundgren

Tears For Fears

The Tubes

XTC

The Bird And The Bee

Tom Robinson

Porcupine Tree

.

This is definitely the first time I have seen Elvis and Marilyn Manson together on the same "favorites" list...

[Edited 7/2/16 17:06pm]

The new wave one it's awesome, Jimmy even rerecorded the vocal track to make it all new wavey. And OMG does he? I never knew he liked animation, that's awesome! Dw about the anime count tho! I've been watching since I was like 12 so I've watched a fair few over the years. It piles up quickly!

Ohhh ok that one then thanks!
Yupp you should check out his twitter and in interviews (forget which) where he talk about growing up reading underground comics from R. Crumb w/ his brother and watching adult animated
movies like Heavy Metal, Ralph Bakshi and stuff.
I liked anime since i was 6 growing up watching Sailor Moon, Pokemon & Dragonball Z and now i'm just really picky about anime (same with cartoons). It takes time for me to watch an entire series
while theres stuff going on with my life. lol

In no order:

Janet

Michael Jackson

Maxwell (if Prince ever had a successor, it'd be him, despite his lack of frequent output)

Culture Club (often dismissed, but took reggae and made it pop)

George Michael (one of the best male voices still alive today)

I have to put in Queen, Annie Lennox, INXS, Christopher Cross (that high tenor voice & beautiful melodies still gets me). I love 70s Yacht Rock. I have a whole Pandora station based on Ambrosia's "Biggest Part Of Me". Barry Manilow gets a huge nod too. Joke all you want, but he can truly write the songs that we all remember, whether you like it or not. James Taylor. Carole King.

I'm not a huge fan of Fleetwood Mac (and I really can't stand Stevie Nick's voice - I know I'm in the minority with that), but I do recognize their incredibly ability to truly craft a song, blend harmonies, and build layers of guitars and keys. I highly respect that with them.

I dig your taste! And wanted to jump in and say I COMPLETELY agree and have felt the same way about Maxwell. He very much reminds me of Prince - with his range! I also love GM, Janet and MJ! Great list!

Waiting for someone to say this

.

1. Jamie Starr

2. Camille

3. Lovesymbol

4. Joey Coco

5. TAFKAP

I don't have 5 favorites. Prince was # 1, followed closely by Michael Jackson. After them, I really don't have any others.

Santana

Joni Mitchell

Stevie Wonder

Sly Stone

Dam Funk
