Four years later most of us are still here. I miss SeanP, though. Always liked him.
I have nowhere else to go. There is no demand in the priesthood for elderly drug addicts

Yeah, he's on mine, too. Huge baseball fan. I thought I saw him on the other side of the street in Asheville on the second night of The Alabama Shakes gig.

Re: Your Top Ten Favorite Bands/Artists of All Time
As in the days of "Desert Island Discs", I thought about this way longer than expected (or necessary), and ultimately decided to order them as they came into my life... these were the bands, that at the time, I could not stop listening to, and have never stopped listening to them...
had to leave out so many bands (Zeppelin, The Who, Neil, Pink Floyd, Talking Heads, Replacements) that I feel it necessary to apologize in advance:
Middle School/High School Years (1970's-ish)
Beatles
Genesis
College Years (1980's-ish)
XTC
U2
King Crimson/Adrien Belew
The Smiths
Grad School Years (1990's-ish)
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Pearl Jam
Nameless Years (2000's +)
Glen Hansard
Drive By Truckers

OMG
How could I have forgot the Beatles.
I don't deserve to hear music ever again.

Re: Your Top Ten Favorite Bands/Artists of All Time
Uhm:
Nina Simone
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Fugazi
The Mountain Goats
Sleater-Kinney
Bruce Springsteen
REM
Songs:Ohia/Magnolia Electric Co/Jason Molina
The Weakerthans
Shearwater
These probably aren't 'the best', though I could never see Nina Simone moving from the top of that list. But these are the bands who, when I listen to them, I never want to stop listening.

Funny. It was real hard to keep Zeppelin and the Beatles out of my top ten.
Re: Your Top Ten Favorite Bands/Artists of All Time
I'll give this a shot too.
INPO.....
DBT
JJ Cale
Levon Helm/ The Band (cut me a little slack on that one)
Jay Farrar
Chuck Berry
Bob Dylan
Stones
Bottle Rockets
John Prine
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
I may edit this 40 or 50 times. I already feel like a piece of shit because I didn't include Kristofferson, Guy Clark, Neil Young, Waylon, McMurtry, Todd Snider, or John Fogerty.
Also, 3 of my top 10 are St. Louis artists/bands and 9 of the 10 are from the midwest or south. I didn't do that on purpose.
