August 24, 201312 yr Especially for the classical folk: Who are your favorite bands, singer-songwriters, or popular groups of whatever kind? Mine at the moment: Sigur Rós Pink Floyd The Beatles Sufjan Stevens Bob Dylan The Decemberists Muse Fleet Foxes Mumford and Sons Of Monsters and Men Animal Collective Young the Giant
August 25, 201312 yr 'Trane Ornette Monk Cecil Taylor Elliott Sharp John Zorn AMM Zappa Anthony Braxton Markus Stockhausen Sarah Vaughan Ella Fitzgerald Miles Bill Evans Aphex Twin and probably others. I have only a superficial understanding of pop music tho, & therefore tend to gravitate towards the "borderline" artists.
August 25, 201312 yr Eagles Zeppelin Purple Grand Funk Traffic Uriah Heep Boston Floyd Santana Osibisa Who Iron Butterfly Ten Years After Rare Earth Rare Bird Hendrix Jefferson Airplane C.S.Nash & Young Barclay J Harvest Wilson Pickett Temptations James Brown Millie Jackson
August 25, 201312 yr Florence + The Machine Muse Coldplay Of Monsters and Men Sigur Ros Daft Punk Of course I like the Beatles, who doesn't? Others that I don't remember, and a few individuals that I don't count as a band. I think I was accidently born on the wrong side of the pond. Britain please take me! Unless you mean "bands", in which case: Blue Devils Cavaliers Carolina Crown (I like drum corps quite a bit as well)
August 26, 201312 yr In no particular order: Tom Petty Gillian Welch Patty Griffin The Generationals The National The Dead Dar Williams Indigo Girls Cecelia Nina Simone and all the old dead blues guys and anyone who has ever played at Club Passim. (:

How you get Justin Timberlake and Pearl Jam in the same mix with Rufus Wainwright and Tom Waits is a complete mystery to me. I'm trying to picture some rational way that this makes sense, and I'm so lost. (:

September 6, 201312 yr Punch Brothers. I would be very surprised if Chris Thile isn't the only bluegrass musician ever to have been awarded a Genius Grant from the MacArthur Foundation.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I28GlW35vmkAnd a bunch of others that have already been mentioned.
