I'd have to go with B. The Beatles, Jackson Browne, The Band, Davd Bowie, Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, Boston, Blondie, The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Box Tops and Karla Bonoff are all prominent in my B Collection.
Excellent list Rich, so many great artists! I would add Eric Burdon, Blue Öyster Cult, The Butterfield Blues Band, Black Sabbath, Jeff Beck, David Byrne, The Black Keys, The Bangles, Tim Buckley...
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.
I think for me it's G:- Genesis, Grateful Dead,Gentle Giant (does two "G"s count double?) 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’d have to pick B. The Band Beach Fossils Beach House The Beatles The Beta Band Black Country New Road Black Lips Black Midi Bon Iver David Bowie Boygenius Phoebe Bridgers Bright Eyes Broken Bells Broken Social Scene All bands I love.
Hi Glen!!! this one is a tough one but if you think about ityou can always twist the rules and get as many bands you want..... to me it will "M" for "Metal" and then you can have all the bands i like, lol...... cheers and be well
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.

B is a winner so many great picks
Also Butthole Surfers, Black Flag, Big Black, and Beastie Boys
Jeff Beck
@@mutant_blues B is jammed packed full.
I'd go for D aswell. Davis,, Dylan, Doors, dr.John, dEUS, , Debussy, Dvorak and Deep Purple😅
Dire Straits
👍👍👍👍👍👍
My video response will be posted soon, and I even gave you credit for a change!
Way too stressful for me to choose for myself but maybe I'll attempt it sometime soon. I might even credit you! 😃
A cup of tomato soup Larry..
B for sure. Can't live the rest of my life without Beatles.
I get it..
Popular Music - G: Grateful Dead, Good Rats, Genesis, Go-Gos, Godz, Goats, Great White, Jerry Garcia, Good Old Boys, Peter Gabriel, Gong...
Grateful Dead and Garcia would seal the deal for me. Grisman, Genesis, Gabriel are just bonuses.
@@mikel5582 it was tough for me to let it go..
D - Deep Purple, Dream Theater, The Darkness, The Doors, and quite a few Metal I like. Hmm…
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.
I think for me it's G:- Genesis, Grateful Dead,Gentle Giant (does two "G"s count double?) 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!
G was tough to let go of..
This is interesting! We’ve had from one country or one decade. This is a good challenge!
"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!
B is probably the most popular choice..

It is hard..how can you live without a crooner..
Hi Glen!!! this one is a tough one but if you think about ityou can always twist the rules and get as many bands you want..... to me it will "M" for "Metal" and then you can have all the bands i like, lol...... cheers and be well
I would have to go with the letter B for this, wasn’t the easiest decision though.
It’s tough..no Travelling Wilburys for you Adam..
@@GlenKellawayfromthebasement just George Harrison from the Wilbury’s.
The "Z's" also have Warren Zevon but "D" is not a bad pick with Dire Straits, Donovan and don't forget Doug & The Slugs.
T for me.The (fill in the blanks)😂
Cheater..
Glen, you forgot to mention your favorite K and S bands; Kansas and Styx.
🤪

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?
S is a good one..
