Mine:

2) The Beatles
3) Radiohead
Agreed on King Crimson. I will add James Brown and Janelle Monáe.
Janelle Monáe is the female version of James Brown who can cover Prince songs better than Prince. Her first albums are out of this world. She has lyricism that makes Curtis Mayfield and Stevie Wonder proud. One of the best female musicians of current times.
-
This is a tough one...
People:
Gram Parsons
Leon Russell
Joni Mitchell
Bonnie Raitt & Townes VanZandt on the lip
Groups:
Little Feat
Traffic
CSN+Y
Derek & the Dominoes & Allman Bros close behind

I kinda think of Bettye LaVette as the female JB

Too hard to do overall for me. But since "rock" is my favorite genre, I'll say:
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Led Zeppelin
The Police
-
Two of them are really above the others for me,
Queen and Scorpions headbang
Can't say a third, I would write dozens of names :-\
-
Three favorites would be too hard but some artists that I never stop listening to:
1)Madvillain
2)Ligeti/Debussy (tie)
3)Joanna Newsom (really just Y's though)

Your days here are numbered. Marv is a notorious Debussy-hater.

Your days here are numbered. Marv is a notorious Debussy-hater.
Lol. I've heard. That Suite Bergamasque and those piano preludes doe...come on now, Marv.
-
Too tough of a call. But if I had only three entire collections, everything ever released or unreleased to bring on an interstellar space journey....
1) Beatles
2) Pink Floyd
3) Mozart
-
1) Neil Finn (Solo work, 7 Worlds Collide, and Crowded House/Split Enz)
2) Queen
3) David Bowie
-
This changes routinely, but right now:
1. Talking Heads
2. Rush / The Who
3. Charles Mingus / Thelonius Monk
Yeah, I know. That's five.
-
If posting requires bravery, that means we’re still allowed to judge, right? – There’s no real way for me to pick a top three and then to order them by preference. I wouldn’t mean it. I can, however, give a toppish three list, all and only contemporary:
1) Burial;
2) Lapalux;
And 3) Aphex Twin.
I take those artists to be paradigmatic of my preferences.
-
To me music is like paintings or other works of art. Each impacts us differentlly and at different points in our lives. I would never have listed Mozart 30 years ago. It's like when people who know I am a complete Beatles freak ask me, "what is my favorite song or album." I can't answer. It depends on the day I had or what's going on in my life.
-
I'll say it again: "Be brave!!"
-
Not super confident on my rankings, or about metal vs non metal comparisons here, but here it is
1. Tool / The Black Dahlia Murder

- Renaud Garcia-Fons ("Arcoluz" is a jewel)
- Chopin
-
Ok. By "be brave!!" I meant the following:
a) Try to avoid unnecessary explanations — for instance, it's obvious we often like an album a lot and listen to it quite a bit for a while and then 'move on'; it's obvious we like different artists/music at different periods of our life (sometimes we actually go back to something we were not able to fully appreciate back in the day!). Whether an artist is dead or alive is irrelevant…a cop-out.
b) Try and think of 3 bands/musicians you think are truly your favourites at this point in time and feel that that will be so for a good while, ie imagine you were forced to choose 3 artists before a long trip (3-5 years?) and only given the choice to take, say, 5 CDs by each of these artists (no boxsets allowed, or boxsets, depending on the number of discs, count as individual albums).
Then, of course, you can, if you like, add extra information such as what it is you like so much about those particular artists, your favourite albums by them, and, perhaps, add other artists you also like (but not quite as much), BUT PLEASE try and stick to your 3 favourites in order of preference.
Maybe some of you could post again, quoting your previous posts, and come up with just 3 bands/musicians/composers.
-
Chopin
Miles Davis
Queen
-
My most listened to, as per last.fm, are:
Sufjan Stevens
Modest Mouse
Radiohead
That's pretty fair as my favorites.
-
Choosing 3 artists wasn't that simple/straightforward for the Awfully Sweet Sparrow — Bartok, Bach, Beethoven (not Mozart, I'm afraid [though his Requiem is indeed what I'd regard as real music, as well as a couple of his symphonies and string quintets]), Brian Eno, John Coltrane, Van der Graaf Generator and Henry Cow were right up there…
If Mr n3rdling doesn't know Robert Fripp's Exposure (the album), Fripp & Eno's No Pussyfooting (a fairly difficult album to 'enjoy' and appreciate, but with patience and played at the right time….the penny may drop...and then...there's just no turning back), Fripp & Eno's Live in Paris 28.05.1975, or Beethoven's Complete String Quartets by the Végh Quartet, I VERY strongly suggest he should listen to this music.

2. Eric Clapton
3. MJ
-
1. The Rx Bandits (particulary the albums Progress, The Resignation, ...And the Battle Begun)
2. Beethoven
3. Miles Davis Sextet
I have to change the first one to Frank Zappa. Rx Bandits was just a band I grew up listening to.
Hot Rats, Apostrophe, are too legendary.

Between MJ and Prince I choose James Brown. Without James Brown what is dubbed "black music" would not have been what it is today. I must admit though between MJ and Prince the choice is difficult. MJ has "Off The Wall" and "Thriller" but Prince can out solo many Metal guitarists to this day yet still bring Funk and Soul like it is 1970.

I'm probably younger than you (I'm from 90s BTW) and MJ may have had a greater generation effect on me. Though James Brown is absolutely a top call.
On a side note, there are many that can actually make my (comtemporary) list, depending on my mood: Queen, Led Zep, James Taylor Quartet, Bill Evans Trio, Van Halen, Cold Play, Eagles, Chage&Aska ...
-
1. Protest The Hero
2. Dead Letter Circus
3. The Dillinger Escape Plan
-
1. The Rolling Stones
2. Dire Straits
3. Neil Young
That could change tomorrow. I actually "stopped" listening to Led Zep since I upgraded my headphone stack (I don't think the recording quality is all that great).
Special mention to: Led Zep, MJ, the Who, Queen, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix, Paul Simon, Fleetwood Mac, the Brian Jonestown Massacre, Thomas Newman, Keith Jarrett and few other (mostly rock and derivatives).

3: Dragonforce (yes, really)
NF is the only artist I've heard who manages to make a different song every time, and still manages to be consistently incredible.
I've been listening to IM for years and there are songs that can still bring me to tears. Not quite as consistent as NF though.
Dragonforce is a shameless guilty pleasure. I enjoy their formula.

Think of the genie in the lamp and you get to have three wishes. Like wishing for Kyuss or the Jimi Hendrix Experience in your living room in their original line up. Too bad Robin Williams will not be there to crack jokes with you.

I've got Led Zep recordings that are 192K/24bits vinyl rips, which sound thin and squeaky in the highs (relatively) and I rarely listen to those but the same recordings from HD tracks that have been remastered recently (despite being 96K/24bits) sound much better (not the best but much better than my other vinyl rips I found). YMMV. :)

+1 for Megadeth and +1 for Trent Reznor
P.S. Megadeth's new album dropping soon - and when the heck is TOOL going to release their new album? Stupid lawsuits and regulations making it take a long time to release.
-
...and when the heck is TOOL going to release their new album?
More important for me is whether Tool, after all these years, will be capable of releasing something that will come (even) close to Lateralus, ie whether Tool still have the (musical) juice.
-
Yeah that is my concern to. I think as long as they do not have the record company try to control the type of material/music they write, it will be good. If the record company puts pressure on them to "commercialize" the material, then it could be disastrous.

That's really not something I'm worried about as I trust in the integrity AND intelligence of the band to deal with such matters. My true concern—if you can acall it that—is whether there's something within the musicians themselves that still makes them tick in order to be (musically) creative.
Leading too comfortable a life can be pretty detrimental creatively (and in other areas), in which case perhaps they may start worrying, say, about good gear, good sound, micro-dynamics, harmonics within harmonics within harmonics within harmonics, etc. (that said only half-jokingly). And on that note, it looks like the mighty Crim (aka King Crimson) will be releasing a new album (after 13 years) in 2016 — Will KC be able to produce real music? Well, we'll just have to wait and see...

Now THAT is excellent news. I am hoping they'll try to make mr. Wilson proud.

I consider this good news. King Crimson changed everything for me regarding music. Hopefully they still have the inspiration and drive to make "independent" music.
-
1. Arvo Pärt
2. Tool
3. Nicolas Jaar
Hardly a rigid list.
A Pärt is hard to knock off for me though.

Thankfully, KC don't have the constraints many bands/musicians have regarding being "independent", so, in that regard I'm 100% confident Mr R Fripp will release whatever he considers to be appropriate. Now, whether that translates into what the always humble sparrow regards as "real music" is a different matter.
Most people who know KC well prefer "The Power to Believe" (2003) over "The ConstruKction of Light" (2000) — I don't. Although the sonics of TPTB are clearly better than TCOL's, the latter, to me, sounds more fresh, raw and, ultimately, more engaging and real. I saw KC in 2000 and that was a brilliant gig, (much) better than I expected; the two performances I attended in 2003 were very good from a professional and technically proficient delivery stand point, but lacked in 'immediacy' (for lack of a better term [I didn't particularly like the audiences, either]). Yeah, I'm sure anyone new (and plenty not so new!) to the music of KC would've been blown away in 2003 — I wasn't. I'll be seeing them twice in September and I just hope the beast—which was not present in 2003—makes an appearance, even if for a couple of fleeting moments.

I am not very informed about their recent work. I know King Crimson from their early albums. As long as the energy and creativity are still there the music will tell their tale. They talk to the wind and the sparrow flies. The audience listens and a new court of music opens.
I will check out their recent live performances. Thank you for the update.

Not exactly sure what albums you refer to by "their early albums" and, more specifically, to "their recent work". In the last 31 years there's only been 3 KC albums (1994, 2000 & 2003) and only six in the last 41 years. Mind you, as you probably know, most people who have heard of a band called KC only know about their debut album or, in many instances, just 21st Century Schizoid Man. Hopefully you got to hear their 1973-1974 output ("Larks' Tongues in Aspic", "Starless & Bille Black" and "Red"). 13 albums in 46 years (the first 7 in the short span of 5 years).
Anyway, with KC, whether people like them or not, at least it's a rather well known fact (to those who know KC well) that it's never been about money, nostalgia or so-called (embarrassing) reunions (often many would be pretty pissed off because R. Fripp would refuse to play "the hits" in favour of often forward-looking new material). This, btw, is yet another new line-up, a seven-piece band this time [with 3 drummers].
FYI, KC toured the US last September; they'll be touring Europe & Canada this year, including 8 UK dates (something they hadn't done for 35 years [last UK show was a single date in London in 2000]).
-
I have their first seven albums. Listened to all of them in a row at one time. Something I also did for the Doors. Even when sober, the music changes reality.
Either way I know King Crimson have been touring through the years but mixed priorities and a limited budget lead to very few concerts for me. I cannot explain it but "I Talk To The Wind" is one of my favourite songs ever even after many years of collecting hundreds of albums. "In The Court Of the Crimson King" is in my personal top 5 hence the reference.
I am fed up with regular student life so I might as well binge on King Crimson, Radiohead and whatever puts my brain on "hey, this is interesting."
Thanks for the update.

"In The Court of the Crimson King" is a great album though it's not my favourite by the band—it's my 4th, but hey, 4 is my favourite number!—LTIA, Red & Discipline being the other three (LTIA being my all-time favourite).
I Talk to the Wind is an excellent track, but, for me, Moonchild is THE one track on that album…well, definitely the first 2+ minutes of it. Here's the abridged version of the track with an excellent video to go with it ("an amateur video" the person made "for a great song"):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09iNZODJEMo
And here's an excellent cover version of the track:

I think that's enough KC...at least for a little while

I just finished migrating my entire music collection to my new windows installation and there were a lot of artists I just kind of forgot about
-
I find this impossible to answer. :-\
A cop-out — a shame to see this from Señor Anaxilus...though not entirely surprised, if I'm to be perfectly honest.
Go on, man up and deal the task at hand. (I'll still think you have pretty poor music taste, mind you!)
-
Best band: King Crimson
Best composer: JS Bach
Second to best composer: Dieterich Buxtehude
-
Such a simple question that is tough to answer that simply.
First there are the 3 favorite bands that played the soundtrack to my youth:
1. Van Halen - Mean Street, DOA, Runnin' with the Devil
2. Kiss - Rock-n-Roll Over and Lick It Up were monumental albums in my youth
3. AC/DC - COD, care of the devil in me
Then there are my current favorite musicians (4 is the new 3):
1. Zakk Wylde - Guitar God. Ozzy, Pride and Glory, S/T, BLS. From acoustic, to piano, to southern fried rawk with a banjo to viking metal, this man does it all.
2. Radney Foster - My favorite singer/songwriter. Excellent voice, heartfelt lyrics and every country artist who's anybody has sung his stuff.
3. Myles Kennedy - Apocolyptic Love is a masterpiece of a sleaze rock album; Alter Bridge; The rock star voice lives in this man.
4. Lzzy Hale - Perhaps the most powerful rock voice I've ever heard. She's hot, she rocks and she can sing your socks off.
Then there are my sleaze rock top 3 albums!
1. GNR - Appetite for Destruction: Slash's guitars define the term sleaze rock
2. Buckcherry - S/T: Incredible sleaze rock album front to back; Lit Up and Check Your Head are classics
3. Slash - Apocolyptic Love: Slash reinvents his sleaze rock sound
Then there are the bands that I keep finding myself playing over and over on my abundance of head-fi gear
1. Badlands - S/T, Voodoo Highway and Dusk. Ray Gillen, Jake E Lee and Eric Singer. 3 guys I'd easily build a fantasy rock band around. Hair infused blues metal.
2. Saigon Kick - vastly underrated so called hair band from the late 80's and early 90's, that really has nothing in common with that genre. Very quirky song writing.
3. Chickenfoot - What a supergroup. Sammy is like fine wine, his voice seems to somehow get better with age.
There is so much I've left out. Surely there is room for 3 or 4 more?
-
Zakk Wylde - Guitar God. Ozzy, Pride and Glory, S/T, BLS. From acoustic, to piano, to southern fried rawk with a banjo to viking metal, this man does it all.

I generally prefer jazz, folk, singer/songwriters, and funk/soul to rock; however, it's much easier for me to name the three rock artists that I feel tower over the rest of the rabble:
1) Sonic Youth
2) The Grateful Dead (only live material)
3) The Fall

Anyone with both the Dead and The Fall in their top bands is surely a lost brother of mine. Awesome shit. They aren't in my top 3 but I love your music taste.
Me:
1. Phish - my favorite live band, and overall the most important band in my life.
2. Ween - my favorite songwriters of all time. No band encapsulates the darkness of the human experience better than ween.
3. Joy Division/New Order
