^ Yes, just a joke really, Mo.

I don't recognize many of the bands you mention, but I might check out Folk Implosion because of the intriguing name. Thanks.

Really?

The answer here would be pretty obvious, I'd say it's in between Daydream Nation and Dirty. If I had to pick up one of them, it would be Daydream Nation. I also like the self-titled EP a lot.
And to be very honest, I haven't listen carefully to any stuff from NYC Ghost & Flowers onwards.

What about you?

What about you, what are your favorite bands?

And if you're checking The Folk Implosion (which name is said to be a pun on Jon Spencer Blues Explosion), I'd recommend you to start by The New Folk Implosion record. The previous stuff is too lo-fi.

Bad Moon Rising

What do you think of my take on Guided By Voices?

^ There are huge chunks of music I know nothing about tbh, then a few areas and artists that I know in detail. It's about the same for most people I imagine, zooming in on stuff they like and acquiring a patchy kind of expertise about music.

^ Wow! Someone mentioning the JonSpencer Blues Explosion:- https://www.musicbanter.com/jazz-blu...-burnside.html

Like everyone here, I have lots of favourites, Mo. Some that come to mind:-
The Allmans, Soft Machine, La Bottine Souriante, John Fahey, Beefheart, Roy Buchanan, Big Blood, Moondog, Cabaret Voltaire, Hugh Masekela, Dead Combo, Joe Strummer, Dylan etc etc ...
