Damn! I forgot the Beastie Boys as well! They're tied for number 3. And Fatboy Slim would be tied for number 10. I forgot Aphex Twin also! He's tied for number 10 too. And tied for number seven is Twisted Sister, just because Dee Snider had the balls to stand up to Tipper Gore and (Dissie Miss) Lizzie Dole. Crap! I forgot Cocteau Twins, one of the best concerts I ever saw. They're tied for third. Wire should definitely be on my list. I used to cover "Come Back in Two Halves" with my band Perpetual Feeder back in the early 90's. I tie them with sixth place. Chemical Brothers are tied for 9th. _________________________________ www.psychicreform.com Change your mind. _________________________________ "Life is a round of miniature golf only larger, and with a more ambiguous final score." -- Zippy the Pinhead _________________________________

That David Sylvian/Robert Fripp colaboration should have been tied for number 4 on my list. :) _________________________________ www.psychicreform.com Change your mind. _________________________________ "Life is a round of miniature golf only larger, and with a more ambiguous final score." -- Zippy the Pinhead _________________________________

Wire >11. Landing << This person I admire (as do I the rest of you) cuz I only know 3-4 people on his list. WoW! >> ~blush~! thanks man. here are some sites to check out for currently extant bands: Cocteau Twins: HTTP://www.cocteautwins.org -- okay, sot ehy are defunct but they still have a living Fan Community. and band members often post on the boards here.... Landing -- HTTP://www.landingsite.net The Dirty 3 -- http://www.dirtythree.com/ Do Make Say Think -- http://www.southern.net/southern/band/DOMAK/ as to styles of music: well, i don't really like electronic music. so much of it is only for people who dance, and i am a damned Gringo and do not dance. so these bands are: 1. Cocteau Twins -- new wave band who were the progenitors of the Shoegazer scene 2. The Clash -- punk band who became pop 3. Superchunk -- indie rock/punk band 4. (this is where The Orb goes) 5. Billy Bragg -- marxist folksinger 6. The Dismemberment Plan -- emo band. but they had damned catchy songs, really! 7. Boards of Canada -- a keyboard band with beats that are vaguely dancey. 8. Do Make Say Think -- awesome post-rock/jazz fusion act 9. The Dirty Three -- a violinist, a guitarist, and a drummer. 10. Wire -- art punk 11. Landing -- psychedelic band. i think a lot of you Floyd-heads will like these guys. i also forgot to mention Miles Davis! (i chock this oversight up to not enough coffee.) seriously -- _Sketches of Spain_ is one of the most beautiful things ever recorded. go check it out....

RE: [Orb] Top Ten Favorite Bands (Besides the Orb)
by Rob_King 09 Dec '03

My top 10 faves right now include: - Woob - KLF - Plaid - Boards of Canada - Art of Noise - Yello - Phish - Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show/Shel Silverstein - Herbie Hancock - The Chemical Brothers I'd also have to include in the runner up list DJ Shadow, FSOL, Banco de Gaia, Biosphere, New Order, Gordon Lightfoot, and the Beastie Boys. Actually, there's soooo many more I'd like to include, but based on the amount of CDs I've been playing lately, my top ten are those that are the most often rotated. Cheers, Rob

> >I'd also have to include in the runner up list DJ Shadow, FSOL, Banco de >Gaia, Biosphere, New Order, Gordon Lightfoot Incidentally, I discovered Orb (and joined the list 1st time) whilst high on psilocybin and living in Duluth,MN on the southern-most tip of Lake Superior, the lake the Edmund Fitzgerald sunk... from the Gordon Lightfood song of the same name. Coincidence? I should think not. >Alright, alright, I'll throw my list together. > >1. Orb. >1. Because I can't list the orb, according to the subject, I'll put Amon >Tobin here. Rachel and others turned me around to at least give him another chance. I dowloaded one song that sounded like Red Snapper (who should have been on my list, any1 seen them live?). Then I bought Bricolage which I can't get into at all.... which brings me to my next point. >2. Autechre The only album I can understand less or get into so little is fucking piece of plop Confield. Its like when the Melvins sold my buddy (a fan?) the "You Just Took a Bite of Shit Sandwich" LP that was blank (but autographed). What a polished turd? I got Gans Graf though and the DVD is cool. >1. Cocteau Twins >2. The Clash >3. Superchunk >4. (this is where The Orb goes) >5. Billy Bragg >6. The Dismemberment Plan >7. Boards of Canada >8. Do Make Say Think >9. The Dirty Three >10. Wire >11. Landing This person I admire (as do I the rest of you) cuz I only know 3-4 people on his list. WoW! Were is KWisSy? Last spotted on the tarmac hopping a flight to Belize to avoid the wrath of his former November 17th Co-conspirators... presumibaly having his fill (or phil?) of Corona Light and Senator Santorum shots on a wind swept stretch of privately owned beachfront property whilst constantly tugging at the wasteband of the hastily purchased Tommy Hilfiger blue hawaiian print swimtrunks he got at a Bath yard-sale. phew.

well, actually my Top 10 Favorite Bands aside from The Orb is ... a little different than what most here have been posting: 1. Cocteau Twins 2. The Clash 3. Superchunk 4. (this is where The Orb goes) 5. Billy Bragg 6. The Dismemberment Plan 7. Boards of Canada 8. Do Make Say Think 9. The Dirty Three 10. Wire 11. Landing much of this list is pretty flexible, but i base the top 5 on lifelong listeneing preferences. overall, as you can see, not very "this listy". cope, ya'll!
