    Cool thread idea Brian.

    Excluding numbers (22-20s, 3rd Secret etc), my first 5 are...

    A Singer Of Songs
    Abandon Jalopy
    Afghan Whigs
    Air
    Alex Lloyd

    My last 5 are...

    you + me
    You Am I
    Zero 7
    Zwan
    ZZ Top

    You guys are going to keep me busy looking into bands I'm not familiar with (cool!)

    :smiley:
    I somehow managed to miss Aerosmith when I typed this, so I guess Alex Lloyd gets bumped. D’oh!

    Which ones weren’t you familiar with?

    I'm not familiar with the bumped (lol) Alex Lloyd, A Singer of Songs, Abandon Jalopy, Air, you+me, You Am I, Zero 7, and Zwan.  
    Wow, 80% of your 10! 
    I have to be honest, I know nothing about A Singer of Songs and I’d completely forgotten I had any of their albums! It’s an acoustic, folky kinda deal. 

    Abandon Jalopy is Brad Smith from Blind Melon’s solo stuff.

    Alex Lloyd is an Australian singer-songwriter that had a few hits a while ago.

    Air are a French electronic / chill out duo.

    you+me is a side project by Pink and Dallas Green (City and Colour)

    You Am I are Australia’s greatest rock n’ roll band. This is a fact.

    Zero 7 are an English trip hop duo.

    Zwan is side project / ‘supergroup’ of sorts with Billy Corgan and other Smashing Pumpkins, A Perfect Circle, and Slint members.

    The only one of these I listen to regularly is You Am I, and I’d recommend them to anyone who likes their rock with a bit of extra swagger.

    I will check some of these out, You and I especially.  Thanks!

    ZZ Top, yeah!  It's a bit hard for me to wrap my head around that band continuing without Dusty Hill, but I think Hill would have wanted them to keep going, so cool.

    Very cool, thanks Hawk! 
    Their keyboard player is a kick to watch. 
    I looked them up on Wikipedia for a little more info and found it interesting to see a trio band having 10 former members.

    You might recognize The Joker and the Thief.  I think that’s their most mainstream song.

    I'm pretty sure I've heard that one before and thought it was Jack White.  Man, I've got homework to do!

    Cool to see ‘A’ on your list. I lost my HiFi Serious and A vs Monkey Kong cds in a house move years ago. I really should look into their stuff again.

    Yes, I’m one of those people who files artists separately if they do different albums with side bands!


    I went back and forth on whether or not to file side bands separately on the shelves but decided to keep them together, mainly because being a Steve Wynn fan would mean having the following all over the place:
    3 by 4
    The Baseball Project
    Chris Cacavas
    Danny and Dusty
    The Dream Syndicate
    Gutterball
    Steve Wynn & the Miracle 3
    Steve Wynn (solo)

    Also, at one time I had all my records arranged by artist name but now they're broken up in this order:
    Paisley Underground
    Favorite bands/artists: Dinosaur Jr/ Lou Barlow, et al, Juliana Hatfield and related, The Replacements/ Paul Westerberg and related, all Neil Young related, Jimi Hendrix, all Sonic Youth and related, Bongos/ Richard Barone, Nils logren
    Then:
    Jazz
    Blues
    Punk Rock
    Post Punk/ New wave
    Other favorite rock by alpha
    All other misc. rock alph
    Country
    Folk
    Raggae
    R&B, soul, hip hop/rap
    International/ World
    Classical
