Why music?

What's so important about moving air? Why do we feel so much from + so little? The reason is the way the brain uses its senses to + wonderstand the world around it. Brains use large amounts of inner + connected components that serve very abstract uses. By routing + information to different parts using a high amount of + innerconnectedness it can process information in a exponential + amount of ways. By sending carefully choosen information to send to + the senses you can take advanged of the way it processes information + to show whats really going on under the hood and to cause it to + route data in ways it normally wouldn't. Music guides the geist + through this chaotic complex world and shines light on many parts of + the mind and universe.
+
+ "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of + energy, frequency and vibration." - Nikola Tesla

Favorite artists

This list isn't in any real order. I like most of them too much + to rank them.
+ This is an incomplete and ever growing list.

+ Psychedelic +
+ Progessive +
+ Funk +
+ Japanese stuff +
+ Jazz +
+ Rock/Alt/Punk +
+ Other +

Psychedelic

The Doors

If you don't know who they are than you disapoint me. About the + closest I have to an all time favorite. When I was first learning + guitar a family friend showed me The Doors and showed me how to play + a doors rift on guitar. At first it look me to get deeper in their + music but they have always been with me no matter where I go in + life. A lot of artists haven't continued to bring me joy as my taste + changes in the same way as The Doors. If you asked me my favorite + doors song I would say all of them.
+
+ If you dig The Doors please check out Ray Manzarek's solo work. His + solo album The Golden Scarab is my pick for one of the most + criminally underrated albums of all time.

Robin Trower

Many people call him a Jimi Hendrix copy but he they are wrong. + While there are crossovers he does have his own style that is + different From Jimi. His old albums, new albums... are all master + pieces. He only continues to age like wine and is still making new + music to this day without selling out or sounding dated.

Jimi Hendrix

This list isn't complete without him. Jimi is like Santa, Jesus, + Abraham Lincoln... its a requirement you know who he is. Just take a + look at every artist after he got big. Jimi's greatness leaked into + all music. His influence can't be stopped by any granfalloon + borders. His influence quickly leaked into even countries that were + cultural isolated from the west. Check out Super Djata Band to see + what I mean.
+
+ Most places say he died from overdose but that is a lie! He was + murdered by his manager who was upset that Jimi wanted to take a + break from fame and focus on himself instead.

Babe Rainbow

A fun little viby modern psychedelic band. Also one of the few + modern bands that have well put together albums not just great + singles but shitty albums. There music is fun to listen to and a + good choice to bring you out of a bad mood.

Levitation Room

Another great modern psychedelic band. I got to see them live + once. The way their guitarist plays finger style really caught my + eye. I often have their songs stuck in my head even if I haven't + heard any of their stuff for months and I don't even realize its + them until I listen to them again.

Sugar Candy Mountain

Its one of those great bands I forgot that exists but when I run + into their music again it always brings me great joy.

King Gizard and the Lizard Wizard

A very unforgotable name indeed. You may not like some of their + music but they fill quite a bit of area so don't give up on them so + fast. A lot of their songs feel a bit gimmicky for my taste but + still a great band.

The Black Angels

Good skateboarding music. Heavy and dark. Very nice indeed.

Strawberry Alarm Clock

Its just pure 60's psychedelic extract. They got viby stuff what + more can I say.

Frank Zappa

Go check out Frank Zappa. Thats a threat.

The Beatles

The Beatles exist

Progessive

Gentle Giant

A band very few know of yet it has a cult following. They are a + must for any prog rock fans. They mix in so many sounds and really + push the limits of rock in a way even other prog bands never did. I + may even dare call them my favorite prog rock band.

Camel

Another prog band nearly no one knows about. Go listen to their + album Moonmadness right now. Thats a requirement!

The Moody Blues

Its commonly believed that they started prog rock. They are known + for their big sound and use of classical music theory. I already + called Gentle Giant my favorite prog rock band so I am going to call + The Moody Blues my favorite prog pop band. Many people don't know + that prog pop actually exists and prog pop is what The Moody Blues + is. Go listen to The Moody Blues right now! Some of their albums are + a bit slow going but thats because they are carefully created works + of art. Their most well known album Days of Future Passed is said to + be one of the greatest concept albums of all time.

King Crimson

They are very commercially successful for prog standards. How + could you not like a band with a name like that!

Van der Graaf Generator

They sound almost early Genesis. They have a strange natual + darkness that always stands out to me.

Hatfield & The North

I really dig their album The Rotters club. That album has a + special place in my heart and is easily one of my favorite albums of + all time!!! Wanta hear the crazy story behind it? There isn't one, I + just really dig it.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

The band was started by a few law firm owners. You believed me + didn't you? They actually just have a boring name. Their music isn't + boring so go check them out! Also a lot of people hate this band for + no reason.

Caravan

Most of these bands are British but this one is the most British. + Your welcome.

Magma

They write concept albumns about a race of aliens called the + Kobaïan. The lanauge they sing in is the lanauge the Kobaïan speak + so not very many people actually know what they are singing about. + Yes, the aliens are real.

Yes

One of the first prog bands I got into. Don't let their + commerical success scare you away. They are indeed very + wonderful.

Can

The greatest Krautrock band of all time. tbh its one of those + bands I really need to listen to more.

Amon Duul II

Another great Krautrock band. They have a bit heavier sound than + Can.

Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd is not a prog rock band.

Funk

Parliament Funkadelic

The funkest band in the list. More funk than you can handle! + p-funk is some pretty strong stuff. Its lethal. Its actually two + bands but its members kept going back and forth and they forgot were + each band started and ended.

Sly and the Family Stone

A vey influential funk band ineed. They were mixed race and + gender, and they were an important part of the civil rights + movement. Also their single Thank You is the first song ever + released with slap bass which was played by Larry Graham.

Graham Central Station

Larry Graham created it so that means its 100 percent funk. Larry + Graham is the enbodiment of funk so anything he touches gets turned + into pure 100 percent organic funk.

Cymande

This one is quite different than any of the funk bands on this + list and really is its own thing. Their name is a calypso word for + dove which is a symbol of peace and love. You can hear the peace and + love in their music and it flows into the ear and through rest of + body. This is a band that truly transforms their geist into energy + and vibrations for rest of the world to hear.

Lafayette Afro Rock Band

Another band that is so funky its lethal! They were not that well + known during their time recording but have gained much more of a + following now. Do check them out if you think you can handle so much + funk!

Average White Band

Its hard to believe a bunch of white dudes can get so funky but + they did and its real funky!

Jaco Pastorius

Jaco Pastorius is one of the greatest bassists of all time. He + played for Weather Report and released some really funky solo + work.

Billy Cobham

Billy Cobham is one hell of a drummer. He played for Miles Davis + and Mahavishnu Orchestra. You need to listen to his solo work now + (thats a threat). He also had influence on many prog artists + including King Crimson.

Shuggie Otis

His dad had a band and personally knew many very well known + artists so Shuggie grow up around them and learned guitar at a very + young age. He played in his dads band as a little kid and they would + make him dress like a old man so they could sneak him into bars to + play with the band. As he got older he got countless offers from + some really big artists to play in their band but he gave them all + up and instead produced his own albums and remained a small artist + so he could make the music he wanted to make.

Janko Nilovic

Holy fuck I forgor this dude existed for a while but dam his + music is funky!

Eddie Hazel

The first lead guitarist for Funkadelic. His Hendrix like playing + is very badass. He is known for his guitar playing on Maggot Brain + though he also has a great solo album which became rare not long + after its release and is often not talked about much to this + day.

Gil Scott-Heron

As of writting this He is an artist I discovered more recently. I + dig it so far. He writes songs that are political which is quite + based.

Mandrill

Not really my favorite funk band but still funky. And funky is + good.

Japanese stuff

They get their own section even though not all this artists play + the same style because 1: this list is going to get messy, 2: they + are better than the other artists, 3: some of these artists I + discovered like yesterday or an hour ago as of writing this so I + don't know what to say.

Kikagaku Moyo

The best psychedelic band of all time. THE BEST. You will + be ruined for all other psychedelic music once you hear them. Sadly + they broke up.

The Pillows

Best known for making the soundtrack for FLCL. Go watch FLCL + (thats a threat). Their music is killer and I dig it.

Ginger Root

Ginger Root is the bomb. I got to see them live and let me tell + you it was easily one of the best artists I have ever seen live. So + much energy!!!

Pacific album

This album was made by multiple artists. Its one of the best + albums I have ever listen to. Good music for when skateboarding + around town buzzed on kratom on a clear warm day without a single + worry in sight.

Unsorted short but ever growing list of Japanese artists

T-SQUARE
Masayoshi Takanaka
Naniwa Express
Casiopea
Haruomi Hosono
Shigeru Suzuki
Tatsuro Yamashita

Jazz

Jazz is about the best music. A lot of this is more on the fusion + side btw (:

Allan Holdsworth

My pick for greatest guitarist of all time. This dude learned + guitar himself and jesus mother fucking christ he can play. Not only + can he play fast but we can still play with at least as much geist + as Jeff beck, play the most harsh finger breaking far apart scales, + all while leaving Joe Satriani and Steve Vai in the dust. Guitar + was his side hobby. His main thing we brewing. Dam this fucker + got a hell ton of autism.

Mahavishnu Orchestra

People will think your crazy if you tell them to check out this + band, people will think your crazy if you rock out to this. But its + the bomb. It showed me a side of music I haven't gone into before + than. I was listening to Led Zeppelin and that shit before I + discovered the depths of fusion and prog waiting for me. The best + parts of life is when you discover something new and fall deep into + the depths of a rabbit hole. Thats when the world opens up and you + start to think differently and open your mind. Thats why its good to + try new things. I wouldn't be who I am today without that push from + Mahavishnu Orchestra. They are a different breed of jazz fusion than + the stuff most fusion fans are use to. Its much harsher and almost + meaner. they dis into parts of the geist other artists stay far away + from.

Miles Davis

You jazz peeps already know Miles Davis. If your a song writer of + any style that haven't checked out Miles yet give him a try. His + music is a good example of how to use space in music to open things + up and close them down. Compare his works and you will see what I + mean. While I haven't dug into his stuff much I really dig his album + Bitches Brew. Its very different than the smooth easy on the ear + stuff people often think of when it comes to Miles Davis. Its closer + to Mahavishnu Orchestra.

Rock/Alt/Punk

Talking Heads

You need to listen to the Talking Heads. Now, its a + requirement. Its a funky silly litte band. The front man David Byre + is rocking with autism so its a given its going to be a good band. + There is no band that sounds anything like them. They have no right + to be as funky as they are!

Ween

A wonderful little silly band. Best known for their album The + Mollusk which influenced the creation of SpongeBob Squarepants. + If it influenced SpongeBob so it gotta be good! They have + other great music though that album really stands out to me. This + silly little SpongeBob album is somehow one of the greatest pieces + of music of all time! It can easily compare to the prog and fusion + stuff on this list. The mood changes quickly but in a very musical + way that paints an entire landscape of many different colors.

Morphine

A really wonderful little treo. Their front band Mark Sandman + plays a bass with only 2 strings tuned in 5ths and he plays it with + a slide, their saxophonist Dana Colley can play two saxophons at + once, and their drummer is just a total vibe.

Joy Division

This band reminds me of my CS teacher who had a bow tie and + worked at a standing table with borderline too many monitors plugged + into a little mac book. Every morning when I walked in normal music + was never playing, it was often a mix of alt rock and EDM that was + quite fitting for a programming class. He gave everyone rubber ducks + so we can have an inanimate object to use to ask for help. He always + called himself a lizard person and was a Doctor Who fan. I assume + this is a universal experience and everyone had a CS teacher like + this. He must have been a standard issue factory made CS teacher + because if a mad man with a bow tie who jams out to Joy Division + isnt your average CS teacher I dont know what is a average CS + teacher.

The Clash

One of the first bands I really got into. I listened to them a + lot when I was first learning guitar. They got a good sense of humor + to.

Ramones

When I was little one of my sisters friends had a dad who was a + fan of the Ramones. He gave me a data disk full of pirated music + which included a lot of stuff by the Ramones. I instandly became a + Ramones fan. I dont listen to them much lately but they will always + have a place in my heart.

Dr.Feelgood

This is a mean ass band. Their music was a rebellian against the + prog rock and glam rock music that was becoming big at the time. Pub + rock bands like Dr.Feelgood went fuck it all and instead played mean + raw drunken rock n' roll. This is the kind of music I listen to when + skateboarding or when I need to get shit done.

ACDC (Bon Scott era)

I know what your thinking its that band with songs that always + sound the same and has sore throat sounding vocals. Well they + were not always like that. In their early days they had a better + vocalist: Bon Scott. And they fucked around with different sounds a + lot more.
+
+ These are the Bon Scott era albums:

High Voltage
TNT
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Let There Be Rock
Powerage
Highway to Hell

Powerage and Let There Be Rock are my favorites out of all of + them. Powerage was my first CD I ever got and I keep going back to + it all the time. Its their best album by far. RIP (rock in pleace) + Bon Scott.

ZZ Top

I dont listen to them much anymore but they had a big influence + on my guitar playing. One of my favorite albums by them is Tejas. + Its a very underrated album. I dig the darker more ambient tone of + Tejas. Also go listen to their first album. Its completely + killer!

Other

Jeff Beck

While many think Jimi Hendrix is the greatest guitarist of all + time many more enlighted people pick Jeff Beck. Not that Jimi is bad + or anything but holy fuck Jeff Beck can really play guitar. He puts + soooo much geist into his music and makes the guitar sing in a way + no one else can. I still have my own pick for greatest guitarist + though.

Tipsy

I was in a music store with some friends and one of their records + was playing in the store. Later, I wished I bought it so I went back + and they no longer had the record. They don't have very much + released and seem to be dead. They don't seem to have much of a + following and they website is down. You can find it here on the wayback machine.

Messer Chups/Messer Fur Frau Muller

A russia band I discovered recently as of writing this. I dig + them so far but I haven't checked out much of their stuff.

Silver Apples

They are a electric band that uses DIY synths made from miltary + surplus radio gear along with other shit. Not really something I + would care to jam to much but still a good band.
