Favorite all-time band or singer?

[michael clubb]

I just spent the last half-hour or so watching old beachboy videos and getting all melancholy for the old days when I left home at 16 and went straight to california to be a surfer. I think they are the best all time band ever! So, who is your favorite?

[Bob Stepp]

Favorite all time singer......Saint Willie!!!!
Favorite band....Fleetwood Mac

[michael clubb]

Fleetwood Mac is fantastic. I was madly in love with stevie nix! And I'll be seeing Willie at the fair in september.
Are you jealous?

[Bob Stepp]

Yeah....never pass up a good chance to see Willie.

[Stir Young]

The Stones

[funesthememorious]

You forgot: Hasil Adkins, Big Youth, Buzzcocks, Byrds, Culture, Charlie Feathers, Funkadelic, Merrill Moore, Stiff Little Fingers, Jim Thirwell, Vibrators, White Animals and Yabby You.

I see you already have the Golden Palominos and Gang Of Four.

F*ckin amazing list Snagg!!!!

[Jaylee53]

I give...you win....! Not that they ALL are my choice but simply you have no problem with long term memory...

[Goldilocks46]

I like a lot of different kinds of music, cannot narrow it down to one or two favorites. The Moody Blues would be one of them, so would America, Chicago, Dan Fogelberg, Seals and Crofts, etc, etc.
I don't know much about current music, mostly listen to oldies.

[CWO3ROBBIE]

Baez, oh yeh!!! She had the clearest voice I ever heard. I the early 60's we used to sit and listen to her for hours.

[P.A.]

Jimmy Buffett, his songs make me happy.
