Top 10 bands/artists

[VladTepes]

Inspired by grogs excellent 3 songs thread...

I often try to pin down my 10 favourite bands.
And its not bloody easy I can tell you.

Let's imagine that you were to be cast away on a desert island with nothing but food, shelter and a kick arse stereo system. You managed to save various albums from just 10 bands / artists as your ship sank.

Which 10 would that be? (in no particular order)

I'll have to sit down and give this some consideration myself.

[VladTepes]

Damn this is hard, ok here's my crack at it.

The Doors
Led Zeppelin
INXS
The Divinyls
KISS

Johnny Cash
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Pink Floyd
Queen
Def Leppard

But only 10 is so damn hard...   

My choices are based not necessarily as they are more 'talented' than other bands (well The Doors and Led Zeppelin were), but because of associations with when I grew up etc.

I'd certainly hope that some more would wash up from the shipwreck to augment that ten....

Creedence Clearwater Revival
Bruce Springsteen
Talking Heads
The Clash
Alice Cooper
Peter Gabriel
Oasis
The Killers
T-Rex
Joe Cocker
The Rolling Stones
The Beatles
David Bowie
Dire Straits
Motorhead
Def Leppard
AC/DC
Queen
Cold Chisel
Janis Joplin
Britney Spears
Jimi Hendrix
Bob Dylan
Leonard Cohen
Rammstein

and so many more.....



No, not Britney Spears. I was just testing to see if you were paying attention.

seth - Rammstein to ABBA. If that's not "diverse tastes" nothing is.

(I'm a big Rammstein fan too, even if its almost impossible to understand what they are saying )

[Taniwha]

So, We're all stuck on the Island with my stereo then? 
The volume that pumps out we'd be rescued in a week. Probably by Noise Control!! 

Top ten artists...

AC/DC.
Goes without saying really.
Black Sabbath.
I'm going to sneak Ozzys solo stuff in under Sabbath as well.
Deep Purple.
Good sized Catalogue. Suits many moods.
Sabaton.
Great for a historical Rock out.

This was quite difficult the reason is that over the years my taste has changed a tad to a more bluesier side of things compared to my younger days where it was all fairly heavyier

so without any further ado

Rory Gallagher - tremendous blues guitarist
Warren Hayes (Inc Government Mule)
Alice Cooper – Earlier Stuff
AC/DC – Bon Scott Years
Jimi Hendrix – Band of Gypsys
Black Sabbath
The Clash – (except sides 5 & 6 of Sandinista cause nobody ever ever got that far)
Lynyrd Skynyrd (inc Blackfoot)
Queen – Earlier Years Preferably
Ian Dury & The Blockheads
Peter Green
