OK…

Meme-ish, but not really.

Your current list (if you’re like me, it changes a bit now and then) of favorite bands/musical artists of all time, no particular order, mixed genres OK, and keep it to a list of 10-15.

Mine:

The Who
Bruce Springsteen
X
The Clash
The Jam
Richard Thompson
Ornette Coleman
Thelonius Monk
Sleater-Kinney
John Fahey
Paco de Lucia
The whole Parliament/Funkadelic universe
The Replacements/Paul Westerberg
Talking Heads
Husker Du/Bob Mould

EDIT TO ABOVE: Of course, since I posted this I’ve realized I left people off who hold equivalent levels of esteem in my pantheon…so a belated shout out to Robert Johnson, Blind Willie Johnson, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Patti Smith, and the Grateful Dead. Sorry, gang.
