Deserted Island Artist...

[NeoSound]

led zeppelin

 

[guitarmanUK]

Probably Larry Carlton that way you also get some Steely Dan, some Steve Lukather some Robben Ford and many others.

 

[boolean]

everything Gilmour!

 

[BluesRock]

King King (UK Bluesrock band)

 

[Xrocker]

If I had electricity on this deserted island to play music with I'd probably rather operate a ham radio and call for rescue.

Then I could listen to everybody again.

But if I'm playing this game I'd go with Led Zeppelin. Vocals and guitars and lots of variety from one band.

 

[Xrocker]

everything Gilmour!

You could listen to On an Island on an island.

 

[Hellbat]

Gary Moore.

Since it's gonna be a desert island there's not going to be any power I'm gonna go with Seu Jorge. We will jam acoustic versions of Bowie tunes a la "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou". David Bowie's passing put that on my mind...

And I'll learn to speak Portuguese at the same time.

 

[aziz]

J.S. Bach.

Me too. Playing Bowie while the pirates come racing up behind him...priceless.

A bit surprised at the results. I expected the top answers to be Zep, Beatles, Stones. Secondaries Rush, Floyd, etc. Mostly classic stuff.

Snarky Puppy is fun. Just incredible musicians. Too ruthlessly Jazzy for me to listen to all the time, but...damn good.

Mine is Elton John. Anything from '70 - 82'. Spotty after that. I know that's odd coming from a guitarist, but I've wanted to be a good piano/keys player more than a good guitarist for years. But guitarists get the chix.

If you had one artist (includes bands of course,) you had to listen to stranded on a remote Island...for years. Who would it be?

Mutemath.

 

[mobizoid]

LED ZEP Their recordings stand the test of time.

 

[Admin M@]

Probably something that would really occupy my mind, like Bach, or maybe Wagner... or something expressly more challenging like Miles Davis or Arvo Part.

 

[Gregmang]

Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree

 

[xrist04]

Another vote for J. S. Bach. Just the sonatas alone (over 200 known works) would last for years.

 

[mnwst]

Without a doubt, The Beatles. After 43 years, they're still my guys. There's so much to discover and pick apart. I was just listening to the White Album and heard some things I hadn't noticed before.

 

[rickboot]

Taylor Swift. Hopefully she brings her guitar with her so I can play it too.

This was my second. I'm still amazed at the amount of quality albums they put out. Almost every one of them would be considered a Greatest Hits Album by 99% of artists.

I hadn't considered Classical, but Bach, Haydn, and Mozart would be go-to's...some of the chamber pieces are amazing (and I love the instrument that many consider the rattling of bones...the Harpsichord.)

Good stuff all. Drive on.

Torn between the left (Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson) and the right (Marillion) sides of my avatar…
