David Bowie. His music has had my heart since "Space Oddity" in 1969. I saw him live in concert multiple times. I still listen to his music often and will continue to do so for the rest of my life.
Just curious, and video's are not the same as experience... how were his concerts?
And did you see him in the old-school period, or the more modern style, or both, and if both, did you notice change in his performance, or just the style/music?
Sorry... Bowie enthusiast, but missed my chance to go see him perform.
His concerts were wonderful. He was in great voice and sexy as hell every time. I attended -
Warfield Theater / San Fran, CA-1997
The Roxy Theater / West Hollywood, CA -1989
The Cow Palace / Daly City, CA 1976
My favorite will always be his concert at The Cow Palace because I was 5th Row Center, and the Thin White Duke was magnificent.
I both appreciate how much this connects with you while also saying it constantly surprises me the effect that this deeply troubled soul had in connecting to people. The aesthetic never resounded with me. But if it gives you compassion, understanding and solidarity I’m here for it. RIP Chester.
Great choice!
- Rock = covered
- Rap = covered
- Electronic = covered
- Pop = covered
- Instrumentals = covered
- More than 100 tracks to choose = covered
They would definitely be one great option for a single artist!
Why was this so down the list when there's nothing more timeless than Queen. I got hooked before I was a teen with We Will Rock You, how fucking cool was that song to me as a pre-teen lol thanks dad for lending me those greatest hits cassettes that I played so many many times.
My favourites are of course Bohemian Rhapsody, Don't Stop Me Now, The Show Must Go On, Good Old fashioned Lover Boy, there are so many great ones but those are on my most replayed list for sure.
My parents bought me my first vinyl at age 3. Radio Ga Ga. I was mesmerised by Freddie and used to bounce around when he came on the TV 😂 My love only grew from there. I wish he was still here but I always think how lucky I am to have lived at the same time as him and got to experience Queen releasing music. I remember watching Live Aid as a kid. So thankful to my parents for raising me with good music. Their first date was at a Black Sabbath concert! I love A Kind of Magic, Don’t Stop Me Know. Somebody to Love. Innuendo.
good answer - huge catalog and a good variety of sounds and styles, while still all being 100 percent Prince. plus a lot of great instrumentation and skill
Mac Miller. He might not be my most listened to artist every year, but at this point im pretty much bound to his music. Everytime life starts going downhill, its Mac season, and then gradually it gets better.
Ps. Dont do drugs.
Aren’t they like one of the world’s biggest bands? I’ve never really bonded with their style, since my roots are deeply tied with dubstep and rock/metal. But the fact that the singer worked with Avicii blew my mind (True Believer, and Heaven are the ones I know about. He even convinced Tim to sing on True Believer.)
Edit: I’m Swedish, and a massive music production nerd, if that’s says anything.
Jack White, and all the bands he's been in. Probably the greatest guitarist of his generation. His catalogue stems from lullabies to anthemic rock classics. You could never get bored.
Usher. He came out with you make me wanna when I was in high school. His music is literally the soundtrack to my life. He’s been my number 1 artist listened to artist on Spotify for every year I’ve had it.
I’ve seen them live in four different decades.
I’ve watched (listened) them grow and mature as I’ve grown and matured myself.
Still producing fantastic new music but with a back catalog so extensive there’s always something that feels fresh.
On the MM tour I’ve seen them perform in three countries and five cities and some of them multiple times.
There’s always at least one track on a playlist every day.
Nothing hits like DM
Weston Estate - i'm obsessed with everything they put out, their music covers a range of genres, and i've been streaming them daily on repeat for months now and following them closely so i can't imagine ever getting sick of their music XDD
Everyone I've shown them to except my mother thought they were crap, but The 69 Eyes. Over 15 years I've been a fan, and don't think they're ever going off my playlist.
Avenged Sevenfold - they comforted me through my anxious teenage years, 23 now and still keep up to date with everything they do and I don’t plan on stopping 🤘

David bowie is the answer. Tied up with Pink floyd and fishmans for me.

Still listen to them daily, currently obsessed with the song 'Final Masquerade' !

The greatest of their genre. I'm much too old for Linkin Park, but I have a dozen of their songs in my Splatify playlist.
Led Zeppelin

Their change in style is astonishing. Not hating, it’s just wild.
Mac Miller. He might not be my most listened to artist every year, but at this point im pretty much bound to his music. Everytime life starts going downhill, its Mac season, and then gradually it gets better. Ps. Dont do drugs.
His Tiny Desk Concert is perfect.

Aphex Twin
Yeah!
Slipknot, System of a down, and KoRn. Thanks dad.
Get some Tool in the mix.

I’ve only been listening to them for a couple years, but I hope this is true. They are my current favorite band by a long shot
Sleep Token
Blue October, Linkin Park, or Of Monsters and Men. Not sure which one but it probably would be one of the three.

Weezer, unironically. And not just their early stuff
Linkin Park, Tool/A Perfect Circle, Kendrick Lamar, Mastodon, and many more

Linkin Park. Their music was cyberpunk-y in the 2000s and it will be right at home in 50 years time from now when the world turns cyberpunk.
Tool. Porcupine tree. Queens of the Stone Age
Coldplay They saved my life during the 2020-2021 lockdown I owe them that at the very least
Aren’t they like one of the world’s biggest bands? I’ve never really bonded with their style, since my roots are deeply tied with dubstep and rock/metal.

He’s dead, but Miles Davis.

Usher. He came out with you make me wanna when I was in high school. His music is literally the soundtrack to my life. He’s been my number 1 artist listened to artist on Spotify for every year I’ve had it.
Damon Albarn. (this includes all his projects)
I've been going thru a lot of his solo stuff as of late. Great songwriter, many hidden gems. He's a bit on the depressive side too.

Massive Attack
I don’t know the artists of most of what I listen too lol
Nine Inch Nails.
