Proggy:
VU - Already stated my opinion on them, they had some great songs and VU&N is a great album but beyond that I'm not big on them.
Public Enemy - Hell yes, got me hugely interested in hip hop. It Takes a Nation and Fear of a Black Planet are undisputable classics.
The National - Bllaaaaaaaaaah. I don't like these guys at all, I hate the Nick Cave wannabe vocals and the music overall is so inredibly undercooked and boring.
Deltron 3030 - ...
Spoon - Now if there ever was a stereotypical indie band it's these guys, so plain and average to me.
Bon Iver - ...
Porcupine Tree - Amazing band, I seriously don't understand why they are not more popular. They have something about them that should appeal to both prog fans and casual musicgoers.
David Bowie - The great chameleon, what else is there to say? This guy is a god.
Jesus and Mary Chain - Said it before, I can't really bear listening to these guys anymore.
Brian Jonestown Massacre - Meh. If I want to listen to garage rock I'll listen to Nuggets, because those songs were actually made in the 60s.
Gentle Giant - Make love to me.
Nick Cave - I think he's got some great stuff, but I don't quite get all the hype.
Tom Waits - Brilliant and one of the best crossover artists ever.
Radiohead - Well I'm hoping to see these guys in a week, so hell yeah I love em.
GoRABpeed You! Black Emperor - Amazing, unbelievable the kinda sounRAB these guys can get out of a guitar.
Cannibal Ox - ...
Bright Eyes - *vomits*
Leonard Cohen - I put him in the "great songwriter but you wont catch me listening to him" category.
Elliot Smith - A great songwriter and a great voice, was a huge loss.
MF Doom - Hell yeah. Danger Doom was where it's at.
Grateful Dead - I think they're an amazing band but I'm not the biggest fan, I love their country songs the most.
Steely Dan - Think they're great.
King Crimson - Like I have to say anything.
Dr. Octogon - ...
Faust - Pretty sweet stuff.
Sam:
Hawkwind - Excellent stoner band. Most prefer their real hard rock stuff but I prefer their spacier prog works, like Warrior on the Edge of Time.
Gang of Four - Entertainment! is all I know but it's soooooo good.
The Pretty Things - Stuff I've heard I quite like but I need to hear more from them.
Black Flag - Required listening for anyone that gets angry every now and then.
Atmosphere - ...
Stereolab - Emperor Tomato Ketchup is a fantastic album, thats all I know from them.
Kula Shaker - Only heard a few songs, nothing spectacular and just seems like by the nurabers rock to me.
David Holmes - ...
John Coltrane - Amazing, love his work with T. Monk too.
Mickey Hart - He has solo stuff?
Graham Coxon - Not familar with his stuff outside of Blur.
The Go! Team - Not bad, but this sounRAB like something I would have been obsessed with when I was 10.
Manic Street Preachers - Holy Bible, screw everything else and **** Nicky Wire.
Mansun - What in the hell is wrong with this guys voice?
The Eels - They have some cool mellow kinda songs.
The Auteurs - ...
Belle and Sebastian - They bore me to tears.
The ORABpring - Used to love them when I was a kid, dont listen to them anymore.
Suede - Not a big britpop fan but they have some pretty good stuff.
Lou Rhodes - ...
Nine Inch Nails - I like them, not their fans so much.
Hum - ...
Alice Cooper - Hell yeah for his earlier stuff.
Against Me! - Not into that stuff, my brother is.
Jamiroquai - Uh.... That guy with the hat?
