Your 5 favorite musical groups - Any genre

[Polkfan]

Sounds like Jorge is the Eli Manning of guitar players!

Ah c'mon, give Eli a chance . He's just a rookie. Peyton had a bumpy start as well if I recall. Besides if your receivers can't catch it is still an incomplete...

1) The Smashing Pumpkins
2) Mum
3) Wilco
4) The Beatles
5) Sigur Ros

Ulu was a 5-piece, now a quartet funk-ish group. They're small time, out of New York, but I really like their sound. Part of it is because they are what I'd like my small band to be, and the other part is that they play good stuff.

Check 'em out:

I checked out their website...they DEFINITELY sound a band I'd be interested
in hearing. I'm a big SoulLive, YaYa3 and Martin, Medeski, Wood fan and it appears that their music is similiar from their bio. Being from NYC myself I'm surprised I hadn't heard of them. Thanks for the tip...

David Peel and the Lower East Side

Mudcat, I met David Peel last summer. He (as well as my wife and I, among others) were guests at a post-concert after-show meet-n-greet party in the Atlantic City Hilton. He gave me his business card of all things. Quite honestly, he reminded me a lot of Christophor Lloyd as Rev. Jim from the TV show Taxi. He sat with us for at least 45 minutes just telling stories. It was great!!

 

[sjdgpt]

Only 5 groups? everybody else is running rampant with their choices.

In no particular order.

ABBA (yes, that ABBA)
America (I can still sing "Ventura Highway", "Horse with no name" etc in the shower without humming)
Beach Boys
Beetles (where we would be without Sargent Pepper)
Billy Joel (hated "Pressure", until I heard it LIVE)
Crosby Stills & Nash
Dave Mathews
Eagles (Live is just soooo much better, and just think, as a kid, I thought the Eagles were boring)
Fleetwood Mac
Kansas
Led Zeppelin
Lighthouse (poor guys only had two barely top 40 hits in the 70's)
Moody Blues
Queen
REM
Rush
Simon & Garfunkel
Styx
Talking Heads
U2
Yes

Really, I thought he was dead. I guess he's like Keith Richard, in that he should only be dead. When I was in college, I happen to find one album of his, "Have A Marijuana". The was only one good song, "Up Against the Wall Mo#%#$ F*&C$#@". Because of that song, I sough out other ablums, and over the course of a few dozen year, managed to find only four. Don't play them any more, can't. They were in terrible shape to begin with and only got worse.

Squeeze - Singles
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense
Bob Marley - Legend
Thomas Dolby - Flat Earth
The Clash

RGCriss,
At the same party I mentioned in the post above (1/6/2005 6:20), was Joey Molland of Bad Company. I had first met him at a similar party at the Hilton the year before. He is one very funny person, quite a ball-buster and a very nice, approachable man.

That is too cool, it was too bad that Pete Ham and Tom Evans had such a problem coping with their success, their label's (Apple Records)incompetence And their managers greed They each were/are fabulous musicians. Who knows what may have been if they had not cut short their lives
