Ric

 

[JenB]

Ric Bagoly although both lists are great.

 

[ChuckDeLa]

The lack of diversity among these two lists is really, really off-putting. Gee, do I pick the "all classic/hard rock list" or the "all classic/bluesy rock list"?

Ric, for at least including Weird Al and Danny Elfman, and because there's no one I truly hate on his list.

 

[Andy Olivera]

Diversity? We're talking about music, here! What's the point of listening to music you don't like or enjoy? It's far more satisfying to have broad knowledge of a single genre you love rather than barely scratching the surface in all of them.

I applaud Ric & Jim. They weren't trying to please the snobs and instead put together honest lists.

 

[george kaplan]

Well, it might be considered even better to have a deep knowledge of many genres you love, and an appreciation for the very best of other genres. There was a time (many years ago), where a list like this from me would have been all rock. And I still have an overriding love of the Beatles. But I find my music listening a hell of lot more satisfying by enhancing my favorite genre (rock) with lots of great music from other genres.

 

[SteveGon]

I agree. While I don't have the time or money (too many DVDs) to delve deeply into all the musical genres that interest me, I do listen to a local college station that plays quite a variety of music - I've been turned on to a lot of great albums through them. The latest: Cover the World - World Music Versions of Classic Pop Hits. Along with other cool tracks, you get a nifty version of Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Child (Slight Return) by Angelique Kidjo. And check out that flamenco version of Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side!
