Your just jealous cause I'm smarter than you.

Just go with RZA instead of Wu-Tang.

Hey if his non-solo stuff counts I'll go with that. Non-RZA produced Wu-Tang doesn't particularly call to me anyway.

John Zorn
Boards of Canada
The Allman Brothers
The Band
King Crimson
Doc Watson
The Black Crowes
Sir Douglas Quintet
Humble Pie
Led Zeppelin

You know what? I'm convinced that there's a lot of people out there who have made a conscience decision to listen to 10 artists for the rest of their life. And it generally seems to be the following:

Metallica
AC/DC
Guns n' Roses
Led Zeppelin
Foo Fighters
Iron Maiden
Thin Lizzy
Alterbridge
Rush
Pearl Jam

Now I like a couple of those bands. But if those are all somebody bangs on about, I have no interest in what they have to say.

This thread has really brings home how little people get from music. Almost everyone choosing music they already know backward and forward instead of music they could grow with.

Look up

Guns and Roses, The Black Crowes???

What books would these people choose? The Cat in the Hat and The Hunger Games?

I don't know about that. I still feel like there's a lot for me to explore in the discographies of the artists I picked. Megadeth is really the only one there where I know every single album like the back of my hand.

Also, wouldn't you want to pick something you feel reasonably assured you're not going to regret? Something that you know you like quite a bit.

My picks are easily the best. If this was real and I had the authority I would do you losers a solid and override your sorry ass picks.

Definitely a good list but Mozart = poseur mate.
