Over the last half hour or so, I've just been thinking about making the
following list of "what are some of my favorite bands/artists that I most
likely would have never discovered if not for this list". In part, think of
the list as a way of reflecting on gratitude to the members of this list at
large and individuals whom have offered up nuggets. Really, most of these I
mention are among what I a great deal. Also maybe it could even be an
interesting thread to compare your "audities discoveries" (if your are so
inclined). Obviously, I thinking back over 6-7 years or whatever it has
been now.
For me, many artists jumped immediately to mind and are "obscure" to a
general music fans. But, as I think on it, there are several bands that
although I knew of them, I doubt I would have explored them beyond the song
or two I knew.
What becomes clear is narrowing my list to 20 is nearly impossible and I
KNOW I'm forgetting many that I would include if I did it tomorrow.
My list in no order
1) Pearls Before Swine
2) Scott Walker/Walker Brothers
3) Beach Boys (OK, I had Pet Sounds but doubt I would ever have gone further
without the gentle nudge I needed)
4) Honeybus
5) Nirvana "UK"
6) Buck Owens (yes, I accepted his genius via this list)
7) Lee Hazlewood
8) Doleful Lions
9) Harpers Bazaar
10) Kinks (naturally I knew of them but doubt I would have explored very
deeply)
11) Bee Gees (ditto to Kinks message)
12) Curt Boetcher
13) The Zombies (I now hardly belief my ignorance years ago, of this band
along with the others I've mentioned)
14) Loud Family/Game Theory
15) Left Banke (Loved the single but didn't know the rest)
16) Bergan White
17) The Sneetches
18) DM3
19) Chris Von Sneidern
20) Richard Davies
Best, Steve "I'd love to hear yours" D.
