1. White Stripes
2. Occasionally.
3. Vedder by a smidgen.
4. "Let's Get It On" is at the top. Marvin Gaye is the master of smooth.
5. Sir Keith Moon.
6. Revolver is pretty cool.
7. Alive? George Clinton would be crazy, Tom Morello for a more serious side. Dead? Lennon.
8. I think so.
9. The Beach Boys. They have a terribly uncool rep for being as good as they were.
10. Jimi Hendrix. He could sell out arenas giving guitar lessons, were he still alive.
1. Explosions in the Sky
2. Strictly sandwich boards. I stand on a corner and ring a bell.
3. Kurt.
4. “Wicked Game,” Chris Isaak (corny but effective)
5. Damon Albarn (of several bands)

9. The Judy’s. At least, nobody seems to know them on this forum (and I’d be surprised if they did unless they spent time in Texas in the 1980’s).

6. Bjork's Post
7. Kate Bush
8. no (we still use cds for the computer)
9. the High Violets
10. Lux Interior (biggest shock of the year so far)
1. It's been a fallow period to me... I guess LCD Soundsystem (I got Sound of Silver late)
2. Yes... but in my defense it's because my daughters like the golden retriever on my Super Furry Animals shirt, and the little chick on my Bjork shirt (they also like the bird on my Tottenham Hotspur shirt and the lion on my Dutch National team shirt).
3. Any other choices? No? Okay... Cobain.
4. "Overcome" by Tricky (although you may not want to concentrate on the lyrics)
5. Ray Davies

2. Not anymore, but a Joy Division T-shirt was partially guilty of a loving affair long ago…
3. Kurt Cobain
4. Miguel said it previously, “Je t’aime (moi non plus)”, it ought to be a Gainsbourg one…
5. Keith Richards
6. Antonio Carlos Jobim “Wave”: I posted my top 20 previously in another thread (by the way, it would be nice that someone could revive that wonderful thread, it was vastly underused then)
7. Does Scarlett Johansson count as a rock star?
8. I hope no
9. The Pale Fountains
10. Same answer as question 3
-Most recently THE DRONES
-YES...Radiohead shirts

-Johnny Greenwood - Radiohead
-Panda Bear - Person Pitch
-Tom Waits...lol..Impossible to choose anyone else
-Rheostatics. Their a hometown gang. Im sure some of you know them.
-NICK DRAKE. 3 perfect album, He was probably incapable of making a bad record
Kevin;
I have a Rheostatics album. 'Introducing Happiness'. I remember it as quite good, but I don't know where it is anymore. I've moved one time too many.
1. Franz Ferdinand, just now getting into them
2. I have a Hendrix/Beatles/Dylan shirt for each day of the week.
3. Kurt Cobain
4. Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
5. John Entwistle
6. Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band/Sticky Fingers
7. George Harrison, either pre or post hindu obsession
8. I hope so. They have a more "antique" quality to them. LP's are more special than CDs.
9. Don't really have one.
10. Jimi Hendrix - So I could see the master perform. His stage presence was supposedly unbelievable.
musictoad --
Good call on #4; it's in mine as well. Care to share any others from your saucy playlist?
Miguel, being from MN I know about Mason Jennings and his first two albums are two of my favorites. I haven't liked much of what he's put out since but he's definitely an artist that deserves to be heard by more people.
1. Bob Martin - Midwest Farm Disaster
2. No
3. Cobain
4. Let's Get It On
5. Brian Wilson
6. Most classic Bluenote jazz releases
7. Bob Dylan
8. Yes, but they won't outlast digital.
9. John Hartford
10. Hank Williams
John, I haven’t heard his first two recordings, unfortunately. I discovered him with his third album, “Century Springs” (2002). Last year, Jennings released an excellent work, “In the Ever”, full of good songs, like “Fighter Girl”
Honorio, two suggestions about Gainsbourg’s sexy songs: “Initials BB” and the “the notorious, now infamous, single” (AMG dixit)
“Lemon Incest”
…and as soon as I can, I’ll try to make a list with my favourite covers. ¡Palabrita de Niño Jesús!
liam-
Thanks! Hmmm, well, I've always thought that Jamiroquai's "Everyday" had a pretty sexy tone to it.
1. Hmmm... the most recent is Siouxsie and the Banshees
2. Yes, although I have to like the way they look.
3. Kurt Cobain
4. Sexiness is up to the individual. I guess for my wife and I, we'll go with "Pink Cashmere" by Prince.
5. Robert Smith (The Cure)
6. Roxy Music's For Your Pleasure
7. Grace Jones
8. If only for the fact that DJs prefer them, yes.
9. Vive la Fete
10. Aaliyah
1. Nektar

3. what about them?
4. no songs are indispensible
5. what's MVP?
