Who would form your HOLY TRINITY of music?
So, I got to thinking of narrowing down my favorite singers and bands to form what I have been calling my Holy Trinity of music, you know, a stock answer when the question "What type of music do you like" or "Who is your favorite singer" comes up. I've narrowed it down into catagories and then over all (so, you know, not like this is REALLY narrowing down or anything):
FEMALE SINGER/S 1) Tori Amos 2) Joni Mitchell 3) Indigo Girls MALE SINGER 1) Bob Dylan 2) Tom Waits 3) Bruce Springsteen BAND 1) Queen 2) The Beatles 3) The Smiths OVERALL 1) Bob Dylan 2) Queen 3) Bruce Springsteen Man, that was tough! Howsaboutyou? |
I made up my own categories, based on the type of music. :D
SKA 1. Reel Big Fish 2. RxBandits 3. Less Than Jake "EMO" (oh, how I hate that term) 1. Thursday 2. Brand New 3. Thrice JAZZ 1. Thelonious Monk 2. Miles Davis 3. Dave Brubeck OLD-SCHOOL 1. Bob Marley 2. The Clash 3. Pink Floyd MISC 1. The Postal Service 2. Sigur Ros 3. Radiohead |

After listening to A Love Supreme one and a half times on the way to and from work today, I feel like saying:
John Coltrane McCoy Tyner Elvin Jones (no offense to Jimmy Garrison, but the three above were together a bit longer before he joined). My personal Holy Trinity of rock bands: The Jam Gang of Four Mission of Burma (or Wire) Krautrock: Kraftwerk Neu! Can (or swap in Faust) This is kind of hard... :) |

Tom Waits Ben Folds/Ben Folds Five Emmet Swimming |
Overall:
U2 Tori Amos Save Ferris (We miss you! Hurry up with your solo album Monique!!!) This has been my top 3 for years. Others sneak in from time to time, but it always reverts to these 3 being my favorites. |
