    i was thinking of a way that would make it more interesting and might find guys even including bands that wouldn't be in you top 25
    stranded island and you can take the complete works of 5 artists to listen to for maybe the rest of your life...

    His live performances have mostly been an FU to his fans. Can't understand a word he sings and he arranges old classics in a way even hardcore Dylan fans have a tough time recognizing.

    Went to a minor league ballpark show a years ago with Willie Nelson, Mellencamp and Dylan. The first two put on very professional shows. We walked out a little over halfway through the Dylan show.

    Some are musicians, others are performers, and some are artists.
    Dylan is an artist, for better, for worse.

    I don't have a long list but George Strait and Brooks & Dunn are easily my two favorite. Alan Jackson my favorite voice and Randy Travis has some great songs.

    When I was a kid my parents listened to Country music all the time, KFROG. I can't do Country anymore, but back then I remember liking George Strait.

    This is so hard.
    I totally have discarded most of the bands who would be in my top 10 if this was high school or college.
    GNR was my first modern rocknroll love. But too few albums and as ive grown older I listen to them less and less.
    But I LOVE so many of their album tracks a lot more than the songs that first made me like GNR.
    Dust N Bones, Civil War, So Fine, Estranged, One In A Million, Used To Love Her, etc... I can go on for days here.

    Ok, So GNR makes the cut.

    Then there is Metallica and the Black Album. Great when it came out because of all the push metal was getting due to it.
    But that may have ruined other metal groups trying to ape their style.
    After a few years it was hard to listen to any of those songs after soooo much airplay.
    Yet I can never tire of anything in Puppets or Justice or their best ever record Ride the Lightning.
    On the strength of those 4 and Kill em All they make the list.

    Doors
    Zep
    Beatles
    Those 3 are gimmes and my classic music touchstones.

    Speaking of classic do composers count because I listen to John Williams scores pretty frequently and can never get enough.

    I need to dance so Erasure and Depeche Mode.

    I really like Sublime, for many reasons not just one but that one too.

    And of course Wu-Tang Forever.

    That is 10 right there.
    Ill get the other 15 some other time.
