Well after some careful deliberation, I've come up with a list of five bands/artists that I'm going to sort of focus/channel my musical quest on throughout the year, though I'll still pick up some more albums by other artists as well I am sure. Im'ma look at:
Rolling Stones. One of music's (if not) greatest bands of all time. Got Forty Licks burnt ages ago, and loved most of it, and so I'm going to delve into them. I have Exile on Main Street, though I think I might leave that one for a while.
REM. A somewhat natural progression from U2, and a band I've always been pretty fond of without knowing much of their shit. I have In Time, and also loved most of that. I might even start out gettin Accelerate, who knows. I assume there's a lot of hidden gold in their catalogue.
Bruce Springsteen. This will probably take a backburner for a while, and I don't think I'll dive deep into the Boss, but I am really a fan of what I have heard, and my parents are fans as well so it seems to be a good idea to me. Was *this* close to buying Born to Run on the weekend.
Bob Dylan. Have Essential, again loved most of it, and I think it'll be great to check out a truly innovative artist who has influenced so much of musical culture over the past fifty years. Don't own any albums yet, looking at probably Highway 61 first.
The Who. Another '60s rock band that I'd heard plenty about, and the little I've heard has been pretty impressive I suppose. Of the albums I held on Sunday at JB, I ended up only taking home Who's Next for $19. Excited about hearing some Keith Moon.
Participate or ignore this thread as you wish, just looking for some useful opinions about why people like said bands/artists, pass on some knowledge about them, where to go to find out more, albums to get, and so on.
Thanks very much!
