Grumbl rumbl tumbl

The other day I proposed that you could only listen to one musical artist/group/band for the rest of your life. You would of course get their entire discography-anything they recorded you would have.

These are your answers:

1. dustbin3 answered: Counting Crows of course, because Adam is in my soul, Pantalones. Also, I love you.
2. veronicles answered: Tom Waits. Because I cannot live without him.
3. girlperson answered: talking heads because jesus christ, david byrne. or radiohead. or devo. or your mom. damn this is hard.
4. skyeg answered: red hot chili peppers. they’re the chili peppers … can’t explain it/do i need to? lol
5. thegreg answered: Not to be obvious, but Springsteen. Clearly.
6. ndub answered: No matter what I pick here, I’d get sick of it because I plan to live until I’m 300 yrs old.
7. bradleygarwood answered: Buckethead. the sheer span of genres, and complexity of music, and the amount of albums.
8. cloudya answered: Great Lake Swimmers. They soothe me.
9. autismsucks answered: Billy Joel… do I really need to explain?
10. diva-ali reblogged this from hellamike and added:

    Sarah McLachlan. It’s her voice. It’s both soothing…haunting all at once. I really like…

11. halfwaynowhere answered: Michael Bolton. I celebrate his entire collection. For my money, it doesn’t get any better than when he sings “When a Man Loves a Woman.”
12. fuiru answered: Definitely Tom Petty. He’s soundtracked just about every part of my life since I was 11.
13. lafix answered: what a horribly impossible question
14. gordonshumway answered: Two words: Robyn Hitchcock, especially if that includes the Soft Boys stuff. Also, he’s written, like 8 brazillion songs so I won’t get bored
15. thetalkinghead answered: Zep!
16. frageelaytwit answered: Dave Grohl (which would cover a few bands), though the Beck response is tempting, too.
17. justfantastic answered: The Beatles. In part because I already own pretty much everything they have ever done.
18. everythinginthesky answered: Beck. The breadth of his musical taste and variety in upbeat/downbeat tunes. The rest of my life = variety required.
19. nicky36 answered: Probably the Beatles, while they aren’t my favorite ever I enjoy everything they did and there is a lot of variety. Or Tom Petty.

My answer is of course Bruce Springsteen. Josh Homme is a close second.
