Burnt out on the Who and Floyd, huh? I know the feeling all too well! Great picks, by the way. I've been meaning to get some Roxy Music for the longest time.

I have to say Spring, you have a good taste in music (well I think so, since I am a hard rocker!).

Also, Mhoram: if you liked the art rock of Roxy Music, I'd strongly suggest you look into Brian Eno's four solo albums (Here Come the Warm Jets, Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy, Another Green World, and Before and After Science). He was a pivotal member during Roxy's first two albums.

Lucimay,

Heh. Definitely a romantic period. :)

Foul,

Yep, definitely burnt out on Who and Pink Floyd. But they're such great bands that I can revisit them whenever I feel like it. As for Roxy: Definitely check them out. I figured you'd like them. Eno is an immensely talented producer and musician. His last Roxy album For Your Pleasure is definitely a masterpiece, I think.

Good list.

Hmmm...I'll need to think about this one. Definately Counting Crows and RATM would make mine.

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

The Beatles
The Stones
The Band
King Crimson (any incarnation)
Yes (any incarnation)
Jethro Tull (any incarnation)
Led Zeppelin
INXS (because i saw them live twice and they were incredible)

(and that don't even include
The Doors, Hendrix, Joplin)
