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 mounts of inner connected compents 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.

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.

Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd is not a prog rock band.

Other

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.

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.

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.
