  • Interesting premise…
    You can only listen to bands and artists for the rest of your life from one letter of the alphabet..Join me as I struggle with my choice, saying goodbye to some of my all time favourite bands and artists.

    It might be fun to pick five bands for each letter - if possible - and square them off. B has a strong case because many bands are called Black something. And Blue Öyster Cult. Blue Rodeo. Might be fun to think about over the holidays here.

Jerry Garcia, Peter Gabrial (Van Der)Graf Generator, GTR etc. H:- Hawkwind, Steve Hacket, Horslips, Steve Hillage, Humble Pie etc P:- Pink Floyd, Pretty Things, Pendragon, ,Procol Harum, Prince, etc & finally W:- Wishbone Ash, Johnny Winter, Warhorse, Rick Wakeman, The Who. Giving up a lot here but this is what I can''t live without!

    "B". I have to have The Beatles and The Beach Boys. Two of the first artists I got into. And if going by last name for a solo artist, I get David Bowie. Plus, The Byrds, James Brown, Jackson Browne, Boston, Blondie, The Band, Buffalo Springfield, Chuck Berry, Beyonce, Bad Company, Badfinger, The Bangles, The Beaches, Black Sabbath, Blue Rodeo and Bon Jovi. Not bad for one letter!

    i think, I will go with S for Springsteen, Billy Strings, SUSU (love those girls), Saving Escape (gotta have some really young artists for future admiration), Santana, Supertramp, Sting, Scruffy Bear (cool new band from the UK), Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots (at least some kind of Stones). Would miss quite a few bands, though. now let's stop thinking about this nonsense, how can Larry come up with such stuff? Wrong meds?

    I'm not playing this game. It sucks! But it is the logical extension of your alphabet game with Rich Strickley. After you have gone A-Z on songs, you are going to have to choose your favorite letter.
    The reason I'm not playing this game is because a band's best songwriter probably doesn't share the same letter as the band itself. The Eagles to Don Henley; Dire Straits to Mark Knopfler; Mott the Hoople to Ian Hunter etc.
    So, you are going to have to build in some modifications. The letter includes anyone in the band with that letter (so, Dire Straits includes Don Henley). Plus the letter can describe the first, middle or last name - so, Don Henley is a D or H. The letter can also describe the shortened band name (see below).
    So, now for your Ds:
    Miles Davies
    Bob Dylan
    Jacob Dylan
    Dire Straits
    (Mark Knopfler)
    The Dead and Dead & Co.
    (Jerry Garcia)
    (Robert Hunter)
    The Dead Kennedys, I suppose
    Dido
    The Doors
    Don McLean
    Dr. Hook
    Dreamscape
    Three Dog Night
    Dan Fogelberg
    Freddy and the Dreamers
    Ray Davies / Dave Davies / The Kinks
    Dave Cousins / The Strawbs
    Dickey Betts / The Allman Brothers
    Dexys Midnight Runners
    The Dave Clarke Five
    Deep Purple
    David Gilmour / Pink Floyd
    It's getting better, isn't it? But I'm still not playing.

      Now, now, Glen. You are taking yourself to a place you don't want to be. No Bob Dylan (not a band), no Miles Davis (not a band) - just, frankly a wasteland. Your basement will be devoid of joy.
      So, I'm taking over. You are in conservatorship. You are 71, you may be rich, and it will be for the best that all your life decisions be made by your much wiser, much more youthful (69 years old, but with all his mental faculties intact) conservator, for your own good.
      And if you start struggling, I am going to whisper "Britney Spears" at you, and you know that the consequences will involve mind-altering drugs, fake doctors and enforced nudity.
      So, the rules of the house are: all artists and bands; any part of the name counts for the letter. That's it!
      And your letter, as has been so widely suggested earlier by your buddy, Rich, is B.
      Bob Dylan
      The Beatles
      Bruce Springsteen
      Bela Fleck
      Billy Strings
      Bob Seger
      Bob Marley
      Barclay James Harvest
      Billie Holiday
      Billy Idol
      Bert Jansch
      David Bowie
      No, not those idiots the Beach Boys
      Questionable whether we should include Burt Bacharach - your choice
      The Edgar Broughton Band (required listening)
      The Doobie Brothers (only required listening when you misbehave)
      Benny Goodman (this list is going seriously off kilter)
      Britney Spears (ditto)
      The Band
      Tommy Bolin
      Roy Buchanan
      The Blues Brothers (double points)
      Bachman Turner Overdrive
      The John Mayall Blues Band
      Blackberry Smoke (for some Southern cred)
      Dickey Betts (for actual Southern cred)
      Blondie (she ain't blonde any more)
      The Buzzcocks
      The Beautiful South
      The Allman Brothers
      Aren't you feeling better already? Aren't you feeling in a safe place? Might you not actually have something decent to listen to?
      I'm sorry, again, Glen, but you just need a buddy to stand by you and to guide you in the direction of your best interests.
