I no longer have the time or energy to aggressively seek out new music, but I feel that I'm in a rut. Here's a list of some of my favorites - as well as some recent discoveries I'm fond of. Based on this list, I'm counting on y'all to steer me toward some new pleasures.
All time faves: Elvis Costello, Bob Dylan, John Prine, Velvet Underground/Lou Reed, Paul Simon.
Also like: Liz Phair, Joe Jackson, Cowboy Junkies, Violent Femmes, The Beatles, Robert Gordon, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Wallflowers, Talking Heads.
Recently discovered: Beck, Ben Folds...cripes, that's about it (hence my problem)!
As you might notice, I value: originality, real musical ability, lyrics of depth and/or cleverness, and variety. What I despise most is lack of originality.
Thanks for any input!
