yet another newbie seeks acceptance into mb

[morgos]

Hey everyone. I'm 17, live in the midwest, and really enjoy music. (Why else would I be here?) I know this forum is awesome because I've already been lurking around here for a while, and I've found a ton of promising looking music that I'm going to check out when I get back home in a couple weeks. Anyway, I play drums and bass, but I'm not that great at either. I know I could be good if I put more effort into it, but I have lazy tendencies. The following activities consume at least 90 percent of my available free time.

films
video games (I also love video game soundtracks. My favorite is FF5 by Nobuo Uematsu)
books
music (surprising isn't it?)

Anyway, here's a list of 10 of my favorite musicians/artists right now in descending order. The top 5 will be in order.

Frank Zappa
Parliament/Funkadelic
Captain Beefheart
The Fall
Pixies
Curtis Mayfield
James Brown
The Velvet Underground
Howlin' Wolf
Jaco Pastorius

Honorable Mentions

David Bowie
B.B King
Public Enemy
Miles Davis
T.Rex
