<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.

<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>

<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>
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>

<li>T-SQUARE</li>
<li>Masayoshi Takanaka</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.

<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.

<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.

<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!

<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.

<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>
<h3>Silver Apples</h3>
<p>
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.
