Your Top 5 Bands and/or Musicians of all Time

[Matt]

My buddy Alex's band, Los Alcos, is playing at Globe Hall in Denver on Saturday night. BBQ, Latin funk & jazz. He's the one with the 'stache.



He also joins in for open jam at Milk Bar (Broadway) on Tuesday and at the Meadowlark in Rino on Wednesdays. Jazz and funk.
That's usually a great way to spend a few hours for people like me who go to bed at 1am most of the time.

Throwing this one out there. Pretty, dark, low, and a smashing breakdown to boot.

Song title sounds metal. It ain't, but it's f***ing fantastic.

Alright, this thread has had nothing to do with its title for several years and hundreds of posts.
Here's a compromise. Billy Strings belongs in my top 5 artists of all time. I just haven't figured out who to kick. Here's one video of his.


Anyone going to Fidder's Green? I have an extra Friday to trade for a Saturday.

Nod to the Cars. Underrated IMO. Mostly early stuff albums 1-4. And since…

Aw, love the Cars.

I "met" them a few times in Boston back in the early 80s. The first time, I was cocktailing at the Metro, a video nightclub, during its private opening. Aerosmith was on stage. One of the nightclub owners, John Lyons, pulled me aside and said he needed me to run down the street (Lansdowne Street, behind the Green Wall) and help out serving hors d'oeuvres for an hour or so at the gay roller disco, which was closed for the Cars' private party. You cannot make this stuff up. Anyway, I sat on some steps inside the disco and spoke with Ric Ocasek for a moment. He was soooo sweet.

A couple of years later (1983), Elliot Easton and Ben Orr approached me at the Metro to ask if I'd be in a music video they were filming that week. I was leaving for California the next day and had to say no. Stupid, right? But I had already given notice at all my jobs, quit school, quit my apartment...I couldn't hang around.

I still have their Shake It Up album.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing that. LOVE their earlier stuff! Saw them live around 1980 or so. They were such a tight and great sounding band. (link fixed up above)

I would argue that is the best thing about this thread, it goes to show that we are not fundamentalists 'round here.

Embracing ch-ch-ch-ch-changes is a good attitude to have on our slow and steady (one can only hope) hike toward decrepitude.

I think that's exactly what I did by mixing Abe's original topic with what the thread has become.
