Favorite Singer Or Group

[dukemomLA]

As mentioned before, BB season is STILL too far away. So in the meantime, we entertain ourselves with meaningless threads. So here's another one.

Name five of your favorite singers/groups.

Here's mine -- although the limit of 5 causes my angst.

Bonnie Raitt
Beatles
James Taylor
Elton John
Neville Brothers

OY, so many more. Can't wait to see responses.

As mentioned before, BB season is STILL too far away. So in the meantime, we entertain ourselves with meaningless threads. So here's another one.

Name five of your favorite singers/groups.

Here's mine -- although the limit of 5 causes my angst.

Bonnie Raitt
Beatles
James Taylor
Elton John
Neville Brothers

OY, so many more. Can't wait to see responses.

5 is way too few, after the top 3 the list changes weekly.

Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band
U2
The Beatles
Rush
The Ocean Blue - just had to put in one wildcard that nobody else will mention.

U2
Dire Straits (grossly underrated IMO)
Johnny Cash
James Taylor
Over the Rhine (thank you Throaty)

[captmojo]

Singing Groups
The Beatles
The Four Seasons
The Lettermen
The Mills Brothers
The Ink Spots

Individuals
Tony Bennett
Frank Sinatra
Frankie Lymon
Carly Simon
Ella Fitzgerald

No particular order

[SlimSlowSlider]

1. Van Morrisson

2. Josh Ritter (based on his list, I strongly urge Jim Sumner to check Ritter out. Ritter is a youngish Oberlin grad who writes like Dylan but is a better singer (not that i have a problem listening to Dylan - he is certainly would make my top 15)

3. Patty Griffin

4. Paul Simon / Simon & Garfunkel

5. Neil Young

Also receiving votes (in no specific order): U2, Dylan, Tom Waits, Joan Armatrading, Ricki Lee Jones, Grateful Dead, Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, James Taylor, Stevie Wonder.....

I am sure i am forgetting others, but the CD collection is at home....

[dukemomLA]

Five is too few.... but I was trying to limit the responses... obviously not the best idea. All responses have been favorites of mine -- even those I didn't list in MY FIVE.
