You are now living in a world where the only music you will ever hear again, is the music that has been uploaded to a microchip in your head.




Which 10 artist's catalogues would you select?...

Miles Davis
Duke Ellington
Louis Armstrong
Ray Charles
Frank Zappa
Stevie Wonder
The Supremes
Jimi Hendrix
Allan Holdsworth
Mahalia Jackson

...Remember, this is it!


The laws of the land are that if you cannot decide on 10 or attempt to select more than 10, your memory of music itself will be permanently erased.



Welcome to the real world

An exercise designed to make you think about what you listen to and why.

Remember you get to have the complete catalogue of each artist.

That's what is making this tough for me. I can rattle off my top 10 artists in a jiffy, but if I was forced to only have access to 10 artists for the rest of my life, I'm not sure that it would be the same list.

Miles Davis
P-Funk
Chaka Kahn
Jimi Hendrix
Etta James
Patti Labelle
Steve Wonder
James Brown
Roberta Flack
Donnie Hathaway

it would be tough but ...



a-ha
Inxs
Queen
Prince
the Beatles
Elton John
REM
John Mellencamp
Rick Springfield
Billy Joel


and of course


Shes there for times when im not listening to music cant just survive on music.

So, kind of like an IPod with the complete catalogues (including bootlegs) of your top ten artists in constant random circulation in your brain?

Well, like you, tA, I think it wise to choose ten with large catalogues to stop going mad with repetitiveness.

So, for me -

Louis Armstrong
Duke Ellington
Elvis Presley
The Beatles
Brian Wilson/ The Beach Boys
John Lee Hooker
James Brown
Frank Zappa
Miles Davis
Prince

I suppose the above artists make up the main 'nations' of my musical world, but there would be many many other 'countries' and 'islands' I would miss deeply.

To think, that I would then never again get to listen to the Doors' 'Riders on the Storm' or 'LA Woman', or Hendrix's 'All Along the Watchtower', Bob Marley's 'Exodus' or Stevie Wonder's 'They Won't Go When I Go' or 'Superstition' ...

Oh well, at least I'd still have 'Irresistable Bitch'and 'The Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbecue'.

For me, it would be:

Michael Jackson
Prince
David Sylvian
Kate Bush
Porcupine Tree
The Smashing Pumpkins
Mew
Elbow
David Bowie
Darren Hayes/Savage Garden

Prince
Incubus
Janet Jackson
Sade
Madonna
AFI
TLC

My artists:


I
Prince
Stevie Wonder
Terence Blanchard
Radiohead
Marcus Miller
Jimi Hendrix
Jonatha Brooke
Richard Smallwood
Bela Fleck & the Flecktones

Michael Jackson

Mimi07 yields the balance of his/her selections to me (thanks, Mimi07). I hereby add Ludwig von Beethoven and J.S. Bach's catalogs to my mental jukebox.

Thanks again.

the premise of this is scary as hell, i'm surprised you picked...

theAudience said:

... I thought you weren't a fan??

OK- here we go:

Prince
The Cure
Eurythmics
Björk
Janet Jackson
Madonna
Blondie
David Bowie
Stevie Wonder
The Velvet Underground

Moonbeam said:

Exactly.

And why only like 3 of you put Prince in your list??

1) Stravinsky
2) The Beatles
3) David Bowie
4) Michael Jackson
5) The Jackson 5
6) Puccini
7) Schubert
8) Chopin
9) Liszt
10) Mozart

I wonder if 4) and 5) can be combined.

Miles said:

this would HAVE to include all of their productions too:

James Brown (Yup, Marva Whitney and everything)

The Beatles (I could be greedy and make a Paul McCartney loophole to include Wings, but really..)

Herbie Hancock

Stevie Wonder (that means Syreeta and all that)

Prince (oh yeah, and all those bootlegs, and groups like The Family)

Michael Jackson (yeah, I'll take his Jackson 5 & Jacksons stuff too )

Madonna

Jimmy Jam And Terry Lewis (SOS Band, Cherrelle, Janet, Alexander O'Neal..)

Marley Marl (Do you realize how many acts this includes? )

and Miles Davis would have a great catalog to feast on (I have only heard a fraction of it)
