One musical letter - what'd you choose?


Frankie Crisp

Recommended Posts

It would have to be O for me, as I couldn't not listen to Oasis. Actually scrap that as the rest of O is shite.

 

I'll go with S too.

 

Seahorses

Semisonic

Shack

Shed Seven

Slade

Sleeper

Space

Spiritualized

Springsteen, Bruce

Squeeze

Starsailor

Stereophonics

Stone Roses

Strokes

Suede

Supernaturals

Supertramp

 

Whoever mentioned The Dum Dums deserves a gold star too.

A mate of mine hosts a show The A-Z Of Crate Digging which features jazz, funk, soul & disco from a different letter each time. His 11th show, K would you believe, goes out tomorrow. His main rule is the surname or name of the band only so James Brown is a B and not a J (reading the original thread this goes against the letter of the question but this is the easiest method for me to pick a letter). Looking through his tracklistings so far H stands out for me -

 

Hayes, Isaac

Hendrix, Jimi

Herman, Woody

Harris, Eddie

Hammond, Johnny

Harris, Norman

Headhunters

Holloway, Brenda

Holloway, Lolleatta

Hudson, Al & The Partners

Hancock, Herbie

Heatwave

Havens, Richie

Hutch, Willie

Hathaway, Donny

Horne, Lena

Houston, Thelma

Holland-Dozier-Holland

Tough one this immediately drawn towards S

 

Pretty much as per Max Power's list

 

add in

 

Sepultura

Slayer

Spice Girls ( whut? cant have cheese? )

Strife

Shirehorses

 

And the sheer numbers of bands and genres covered its good

 

But, also torn between M

 

Mansun

Metallica

and so on

 

and D

 

Daytona

The Dawn

Days of the New

 

 

Think just for numbers sake will go with S and remember the good times with the other bands

 

Edit: PS Air Raid is that Chromedome in your Avatar?

Wow this is a tough choice. As with Seven I'm going to go with S as my favorite band is probably The Stooges. So judging by my iTunes, only counting the ones I have at least one full album by, along with Stooges that would give me:

 

SBTRKT

Seasick Steve

She Keeps Bees

She Ripped

Shy Child

Simian Mobile Disco

Sleigh Bells

Slipknot

Soundgarden

Spinal Tap

The Streets

The Strokes

The Subways

 

Not too bad really. Quite a variety there so I wouldn't get bored too quickly.

I'm going to choose W as a knee-jerk reaction because it gives me:

 

Barry White

Chelsea Wolfe

Tom Waits

The Wildhearts

Wolves In The Throne Room

Whitehouse

Welcome The Plague Year

World's End Girlfriend

Wu-Tang Clan (I file all of my Wu-Tang stuff in one folder so I get to keep "Liquid Swords")

I was going to say E as I'm a huge Eminem fan and I have basically his entire discography. However, there's not many other artists I have under E, Enrique and Eskimo Joe... think that's about it. :/

 

Think I'll say L, not my all time favourites but a good mix of my favourite genres to keep things interesting.

 

Linkin Park (including the Jay-Z mash ups :D )

The Lonely Island

Live

LostProphets

Ludacris

Lupe Fiasco

There's plenty of decent pop in there too like All Saints, Alice Deejay, A-1 and even the mighty Rick Astley!
