With Hendrix, I can dig his guitar playing, but not his songs. He's got a couple of good ones but the JHE albums don't deserve half the credit they get.

Someone else that is apparently brilliant, but I can't get into is Bob Dylan.

I'll get slaughtered for saying this, but I also can't get into James Brown. He's an awesome performer. I will give him that. And he's an innovator in the funk field OK. But for someone so brilliant, I only really like a handful of his songs.

hmmm now i love james BUT in a kind of greatest hits way , i dont feel like i have to or want to own his albums






unlike say gil scott or roy ayres or mingus whose albums i must have







dylan? means shit to me

Marvin Gaye. He has great talent with well written lyrics and is a pioneer, but I can't ever settle down to listen to his stuff, I get bored. Don't kill me timmy.

Prince
















...just kidding...damn

the beatles

Joni Mitchell

"Bored" listening to Marvin?!?

it could be cause I liked him more when I was younger when i first discovered him

alphastreet said:

I was just giving you a hard time. You like what you like. I will say that the album I Want You is taken to a new level after you reach adulthood and learn some things...

I love the song I Want You, I'm sure I'll get into his stuff again. I loved sexual healing, inner city blues, got to give it up for years, but can't stomach them right now.

Amy Winehouse

The Beatles.

Respect for the legacy, but I'm not intrigued.

The Beatles. The Rolling Stones.

Bob Dylan.

The Beatles - i totally respect them and their place in music but they don't do anything for me.

I ain't gonna bash you in the head, but some kind of way, you're gonna get converted, if not by ME then by SOMEBODY.

Same here

I also must add Mile Davis, just because I'm not a huge fan of non-vocal jazz I realize his greatness though

Thelonius Monk
Philip Glass
SPK
Bar-Kays
Common

+ any supposedly decent "dubstep" or "grime" artist people rave about

Add Nirvana to the list...

Charles Mingus

Patti Labelle

Rachelle Ferrell

Jimi Hendrix(Sorry Uncle Neal )

Nat Cole King(Sorry Uncle Neal AGAIN ) - I'm addicted to his early jam sessions with Lionel Hampton and Charlie Chrisitan, and his "war years" era though.

Bo Diddly - As much as I'm crazy about early Rock N' Roll/RnB, I'm not that thrilled about him.

Ella Fitzgerald - Love some of her stuff here and there(Esp how she re-wrote the Duke Ellington material) and I know that her scatting was revolutionary,,,but too "safe" sometimes for my taste, esp when you compare her stuff with Billie, Sarah and Dinah who were all edgy.

Ohio Players - Meh!

I don't think she's brilliant nor do I have any desire to listen to her.

His voice irritates the hell out of me and I also have no interest in Joni Mitchell.

I miss seeing you around these neck of the woods

Harlepolis said:

Hello love.

I should hang here more as P&R is gonna give me a stroke.

Stymie said:

Neil Young. Definitely like some of his songs, but the voice is just too much to hurdle.

Kanye West. I really like that he's serious about his music and that his themes concern the betterment of the self, but watta conceited bastard!

Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen

aka "The Tom Waits Thread"

I actually find Tom Waits more accessible than Bob Dylan most of the time. And he's funny.
