What musical artist has been your bigget obsession?

Post Reply New Topic

It was Avril Lavigne, until she married the guy from Sum 41.

Tim

Die Toten Hosen
Absurd Minds
Project Pitchfork

Sublime and only sublime. I think I have all the songs including the acoustical ones. My favorites are; Ebin, Pawn Shop, Under my Voodoo, Same in the End, and well... all of their songs.

The Monkees
The Doors
The Beatles
(all those were before I was 10 lol)

Nsync - during my early teen years ok haha
Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong
Korn
Linkin Park

My recent musician obsessions, still include Ella and Louis, also:
Mos Def
Radiohead
Erykah Badu
Massive Attack
The Dresden Dolls
Bjork
Shpongle

Well I'm a music lover so if anyone's interested in more of my musical obsessions see here: http://www.last.fm/user/kittybewm hahaha eek

Lately, the last thing that I found and really liked was Gwen Stephani's latest album.

Historically, I guess the stuff that I got really obsessed with at one time or another was:
Be Bop Deluxe
Genesis
Rush
Public Enemy
Tom Waits
Queesnryche
Bruce Hornsby
Indigo Girls
Geto Boys

The list could probably go on, but...

Over the years,

Metallica (Probably my biggest musical obsession... also the band that pushed me towards picking up an axe!)

and...

Stevie Ray Vaughan

Elliott Smith, bar none



I also really liked Chris Cornell's solo album Euphoria Morning and so I read up on his life around the time I first heard the album. I don't feel very interested in him as a person though, even though I find his lyrics brilliant. He seems kind of scary and high-strung.



In third place would be Mary Lou Lord. I've not kept up with all her music but I was very interested in her friendship with Elliott Smith. My favorite song of hers was actually written by him.

I was gonna write a big list, but I'll just write down the ones that inspired me to actually start playing my own stuff in the first place:

Devin Townsend

Tool

Radiohead

The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Sex Pistols and Jimi Hendrix.

Matchbox Twenty/ Rob Thomas
Velvet Underground/ Lou Reed
Nico
The Rolling Stones

im not "obsessed" with any artist, what happens to me is i tend to get stuck on a song for a while and play it in a loop on iTunes for a while... this is especially common with songs by Cabin Crew originating from the Star to Fall - EP album

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know.

Autism Speaks will NEVER speak for me

CLASSIC AUTISM
