So you are only allowed to listen to One band / artist for the rest of your days

Who would It be?.
Band : The National (Followed by Radiohead)
Artist : Bruce Springsteen

radiohead here

and dj shadow

The Wedding Present (can i include Cinerama too?)

Artist: Ghostpoet – I’m still blown away by his first (and only) album.

Cypress Hill.

still listen to their stuff more often than the rest of my music collection (not just hip hop) put together.

Hits from the bong is 3 minutes of perfection.

Which as a 40yr old white copper is as incongruous as

Runrig

Holy F*ck

The wedding present
Or
The Fall.

pixies
nick drake

Ooh. Good one!

I’ll go with the Wildhearts, as they’ve got a fantastic back catalogue and a bit of variety, and I’m pretty sure I’ve listened to them more than any other band.

Artist… Regina Spektor I think.

Obviously tomorrow i’d name 2 different acts 😉

Desert Island Discs for STW 😀

Band: Old Crow Medicine Show

Artist: Neil Young

Why? OCMS have an amazing line up and their live show is every bit as good as their recordings, which is a rarity.

Neil Young just covers so much ground. Sometimes I’ll stick on one of his albums and wash the dishes. 20 minutes later I can’t remember a single song. Sometimes I’ll listen to an album whilst walking the dog and have to stop and wipe tears from my eyes 😳 Sad but true.

Pixies, Neil Young.

The Wedding Present are in town this weekend, but I don’t know anybody who wants to go see them 🙁

Rage against the machine 😉

Kenny Loggins.

if i really had to choose :-
band – rush
artist – trent reznor

Band: Neil Ying and Crazy Horse. Artist: Neil Young. Actually, Led Zeppelin are all the band you’ll ever need and more.

Elbow

Already convinced the Mrs and kids that this is the law!!!
The Alarm / Mike Peters.
Winds my teenage daughters up when I catch them out singing along when they haven’t realised, fourteen year old looked up in graphics last week to find the teacher and all the class staring at her singing along to 68 Guns on Rock FM.
Apparently background music helps?????

Glasvegas.
&
Ludovico Eienaudi.

The Wedding Present are in town this weekend, but I don’t know anybody who wants to go see them

Go anyway.

I couldn’t do it, if my choices were so restricted it would end up destroying my love for my favourite music.

D-A-D, more properly known as Disneyland After Dark

Good sized back catalogue and they constantly evolve so a mix of styles depending on your mood

Oh, and they rock!

Tough one but

Band – Pixies are clear winner for me but if I could sneak another it would probably be Katzenjammer

Nick Cave and the bad…. Artist? Easy Mr Tom Waits.

Band: Cowboy Junkies
Artist: DJ Krush

The Rembrandts
Mozart

Band – Steve Earle and the Dukes
Artist – Steve Earle

Led Zep
Jack White

@crashtestmonkey – was listening to Cypress Hill on ride in to work this morning – class!

p.s. what a rare treat to post in the ‘Bike’ forum for a change.

It’d need to be acts with a large but varied output, so maybe Yo La Tengo for band and Bowie for artist.
