Music is the best

Here you'll find some of my favorite artists and bands (in no particular order). Check 'm out!

  • Mike Keneally Check 'm out, along with his side projects. He's alotta fun. Boy-ish, musicians' music with some true gems.

  • Frank Zappa. An all time favorite. Anytime, anywhere, any place, for no reason at all.

  • Galactic Cowboys. A great band combining heavy rock with Beatle-esque melodies and vocals

  • King's X, well, they kick ass! Especially on the cd Dogman.

  • Kevin Gilbert. A true song writer in an eighties / nineties style of music.

  • King Crimson. More than twenty years progressive rock.

  • David Torn. A true sound creator. AKA Splattercell.

  • John Zorn. One of the most innovative contemporary composers.

  • Lewis Taylor. British soul. Unfortunately, he quit the music business.

  • N.E.R.D. Funky with a rock edge.

  • Amon Tobin. Spacey, yet edgy kinda electronic music. Truly a unique style. Nice!


  • Boards of Canada.

  • No-Man. Poetry-like lyrics accompanied by melancholic music (Tim Bowness & Steven Wilson).


  • Porcupine Tree. starting off as a Pink Floyd sort off band, now dwelling in the more (hard) rock areas.

    • Check out Steven Wilson's acoustic rendering of Sentimental



  • Bass Communion. Yet another Steven Wilson project.

  • Outkast. Quirky R&B

  • Björk. quite adventurous.

  • Joni Mitchell. An all time favorite of mine.

  • Vince Mendoza. A very fine composer, arranger and conductor of his own music and that of Joni Mitchell and Björk.

  • Weather Report. Adventurous world music (for lack of a better description)

  • Armenian Navy Band with band leader Arto Tunçboyaciyan. Avant Garde folk music.

  • India. New York salsa sung by a magnificent voice.
