<h2>Why music?</h2>
<p>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.<br>
<br>
"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of
energy, frequency and vibration." - Nikola Tesla</p>

<h2 id="psychedelic">Psychedelic</h2>
<h3>The Doors</h3>
<p>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.<br>
<br>
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.</p>
<h3>Robin Trower</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Jimi Hendrix</h3>
<p>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.<br>
<br>
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.</p>
<h3>Babe Rainbow</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Levitation Room</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Sugar Candy Mountain</h3>
<p>Its one of those great bands I forgot that exists but when I run
into their music again it always brings me great joy.</p>
<h3>King Gizard and the Lizard Wizard</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>The Black Angels</h3>
<p>Good skateboarding music. Heavy and dark. Very nice indeed.</p>
<h3>Strawberry Alarm Clock</h3>
<p>Its just pure 60's psychedelic extract. They got viby stuff what
more can I say.</p>
<h3>Frank Zappa</h3>
<p>Go check out Frank Zappa. Thats a threat.</p>
<h3>The Beatles</h3>
<p><i>The Beatles exist</i></p>

<h2 id="progessive">Progessive</h2>
<h3>Gentle Giant</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Camel</h3>
<p>Another prog band nearly no one knows about. Go listen to their
album Moonmadness right now. Thats a requirement!</p>
<h3>The Moody Blues</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>King Crimson</h3>
<p>They are very commercially successful for prog standards. How
could you not like a band with a name like that!</p>
<h3>Van der Graaf Generator</h3>
<p>They sound almost early Genesis. They have a strange natual
darkness that always stands out to me.</p>
<h3>Hatfield & The North</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Emerson, Lake & Palmer</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Caravan</h3>
<p>Most of these bands are British but this one is the most British.
Your welcome.</p>
<h3>Magma</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Yes</h3>
<p>One of the first prog bands I got into. Don't let their
commerical success scare you away. They are indeed very
wonderful.</p><img src="images/tiny_lain.gif" alt="Lain">
<h3>Can</h3>
<p>The greatest Krautrock band of all time. tbh its one of those
bands I really need to listen to more.</p>
<h3>Amon Duul II</h3>
<p>Another great Krautrock band. They have a bit heavier sound than
Can.</p>
<h3>Pink Floyd</h3>
<p>Pink Floyd is not a prog rock band.</p>

<h2 id="funk">Funk</h2>
<h3>Parliament Funkadelic</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Sly and the Family Stone</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Graham Central Station</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Cymande</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Lafayette Afro Rock Band</h3>
<p>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!</p>
<h3>Average White Band</h3>
<p>Its hard to believe a bunch of white dudes can get so funky but
they did and its real funky!</p>
<h3>Jaco Pastorius</h3>
<p>Jaco Pastorius is one of the greatest bassists of all time. He
played for Weather Report and released some really funky solo
work.</p>
<h3>Billy Cobham</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Shuggie Otis</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Janko Nilovic</h3>
<p>Holy fuck I forgor this dude existed for a while but dam his
music is funky!</p>
<h3>Eddie Hazel</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Gil Scott-Heron</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Mandrill</h3>
<p>Not really my favorite funk band but still funky. And funky is
good.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<h3>Kikagaku Moyo</h3>
<p>The best psychedelic band of all time. <b>THE BEST.</b> You will
be ruined for all other psychedelic music once you hear them. Sadly
they broke up.</p>
<h3>The Pillows</h3>
<p>Best known for making the soundtrack for FLCL. Go watch FLCL
(thats a threat). Their music is killer and I dig it.</p>
<h3>Ginger Root</h3>
<p>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!!!</p>
<h3>Pacific album</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Unsorted short but ever growing list of Japanese artists</h3>
<ul>
<li>T-SQUARE</li>
<li>Masayoshi Takanaka</li>
<li>Naniwa Express</li>
<li>Casiopea</li>
<li>Haruomi Hosono</li>

<h2 id="jazz">Jazz</h2>
<p>Jazz is about the best music. A lot of this is more on the fusion
side btw (:</p>
<h3>Allan Holdsworth</h3>
<p>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. <b>Guitar
was his side hobby.</b> His main thing we brewing. Dam this fucker
got a hell ton of autism.</p>
<h3>Mahavishnu Orchestra</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Miles Davis</h3>
<p>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.</p>

<h2 id="rock_alt_punk">Rock/Alt/Punk</h2>
<h3>Talking Heads</h3>
<p><b>You need to listen to the Talking Heads.</b> 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!</p>
<h3>Ween</h3>
<p>A wonderful little silly band. Best known for their album The
Mollusk which influenced the creation of SpongeBob Squarepants.
<b>If it influenced SpongeBob so it gotta be good!</b> 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.</p>
<h3>Morphine</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Joy Division</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>The Clash</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Ramones</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Dr.Feelgood</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>ACDC (Bon Scott era)</h3>
<p>I know what your thinking <i>its that band with songs that always
sound the same and has sore throat sounding vocals</i>. 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.<br>
<br>
These are the Bon Scott era albums:</p>
<ul>
<li>High Voltage</li>
<li>TNT</li>
<li>Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap</li>
<li>Let There Be Rock</li>
<li>Powerage</li>
<li>Highway to Hell</li>
</ul>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>ZZ Top</h3>
<p>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!</p>

<h2 id="other">Other</h2>
<h3>Jeff Beck</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Tipsy</h3>
<p>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 <a href=
"https://web.archive.org/web/20130826202218/http://tipsy.org/"
target="_blank">here</a> on the wayback machine.</p>
<h3>Messer Chups/Messer Fur Frau Muller</h3>
<p>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.</p>
