Honestly, my list would not reflect my regular listening habits at all.
If we're talking a lifetime of listening to ten artists... 
Ludwig Van Beethoven John Sebastian Bach would definitely make the list.
Likely contenders would be Igor Stravinsky The Rolling Stones and I may even buckle and thrown in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart I would have to do some research, however, to find the artists that could occupy me long term. Pop music is great when you can mix it up and compare it to the millions of other pop songs, but I would be tempted to ban pop music altogether. There are several artists who I am not very familiar with but whom I must research before choosing as they may offer a more long term, in depth experience. Frank Zappa David Bowie Miles Davis James Brown But this is currently a work in progress... | |

Stevie Wonder
Crowded House Marvin Gaye Prince The Isley Brothers The Gap Band The Beatles Parliament/Funkadelic Ella Fitzgerald Michael Jackson  I'd really miss Guy and D'Angelo, but their catalogs aren't big enough. I wish I had room for Aretha, James Brown, Duran Duran, Madonna, the Cure, and Al Green (among many others). That was hard."Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

I think I would be much happier if instead of taking ALL of Prince's albums (Chaos & Disorder, anyone?), the numerical equivalent of ten large catalogs was allowed and I could bring along some randoms in a certain amount.

I'm in the elder category too.....let's give ourselves an extra 2 or 3 choices, just for seniority sake, eh? "Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive."

Don't feel that way, different strokes and all that. Louis Armstrong's music has the timeless ability to put a smile on my face whenever I listen to it. Part of it is his voice but most of it is because dispite what he was subjected to on a social level his music is so positive and upbeat. It's inspiring on a lot of different levels. | |

I used to be one of the crowd of those who deemed Louis Armestrong as an "Uncle Tom" untill I saw the Ken Burns' movie; Jazz.
My view of him was def shifted after that. The man was and still remains as an exceptional talent. | |

My view of him was def shifted after that. The man was and still remains as an exceptional talent. Agreed. Even allowing for some faults and curious omissions, I still view the Ken Burns 'Jazz' series as an excellent primer for jazz history, and it certainly helped open my eyes about Louis Armstrong. I'd liked his singing before that, but the series opened me up to his great early work, his awesome trumpet playing and to the full extent of his influence on other artists, in both the jazz and pop worlds of the 1920s-30s and beyond. And I also agree with Slave2dagroove that Louis' music puts a smile on my face on a regular basis, but would add that there is a lot of variety and depth in the Armstrong catalogue, beyond the famous stuff, as I am beginning to discover. Without getting too pretentious, his great music has a quality I can only describe as 'grace'. He was/ is a deep and great soul, I think.
In fact, I'd go so far as to say, if it was a stark choice between taking either the complete works of Miles Davis or Louis Armstrong, I'd go for Louis, as there are one or two areas of Miles' catalogue I don't particularly care for. | |

Interesting comparison of Miles and Louis. I think their approach to Jazz has a lot to do with their beginnings. Miles began in the hustle and bustle of NYC. Whereas, Louis continued to embody the laidback sensibility of New Orleans where he was born and raised. | |

Whereas, Louis continued to embody the laidback sensibility of New Orleans where he was born and raised.I agree with that to an extent, but for me, Miles was born in East St Louis on the banks of the Mississippi, and heard a lot of old time stuff, and I consider him, like his old mentor from Kansas City Charlie Parker, to be at heart a bluesman. Miles with that Harmon mute in his horn has a lot to do with the blues harmonica imo.
But I'm with you on Louis. | |

True enough. Miles was born in E. St Louis. But, he later migrated to NYC to attend Juillard Conservatory. Great points about his mentor and friend Charlie Parker. [Edited 8/22/07 10:16am] | |
