You're stuck in quarantine with only one group / composer.

[An Ankoù]

All credit to Dorst for this one. So we're stuck in quarantine with our favourite beer, but there's only one group or composer you can listen to. Favourite beer's good since if your drink enough of it you can nicely collapse into the arms of Morpheus, but too much of the wrong music can do your head in. If there was only one band you could listen to, in all its manifestations and lineup changes, who would it be? Let's say you've got to listen for at least four hours a day for every day of the lock-down. My choice would be Deep Purple.

 

[ClownPrince]

I'd probably have Nine Inch Nails.

 

[Sadfield]

Beastie Boys.

 

[Banbeer]

Defo Foo Fighters for me

 

[VW911]

Elgar.

 

[strange-steve]

Meshuggah, been leading the way in metal for 30 years.

 

[Pennine]

toss up alice in chains or tycho
according to spotify last year

 

[Drunkula]

Queen, but I wouldn't take anything after 1984 so I'm allowed the B side of Brian May and Van Halen's Starfleet Project to jam along with and The Hammond Song by The Roches to sing harmonies to.

 

[Mr_S_Jerusalem]

The Sandman you mean?

I’d go Queen as well. A lot of different songs to listen to, still occasionally hear a song and go who is this? Never heard it but I like it. And quite often it’s been Queen oddly.

 

[MickDundee]

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

 

[kelper]

It would be a composer that you didn't like initially but who grew on you, with challenging stuff. I think Charles Mingus would grow on anyone who listened to his material for a few weeks.

 

[prog99]

New Order before they fell out with hooky. Would be a lot of partying.

 

[Sadfield]

Meshuggah, been leading the way in metal for 30 years.

About the time metal ended for me, when Dave Lombardo left Slayer and Nirvana and RATM formed.

 

[BradleyW]

I'd have to say Kyuss and maybe I could ask for the odd Queens of the Stone Age song as well!

 

[Pavros]

Rush

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Bob Dylan

 

[Mr_S_Jerusalem]

Bob Dylan

Thought he was dead for ages.
Turns out he was doing a midnight radio hour. Wierd.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Led Zep for me.

I was a late starter with metal, I only discovered it in my late teens which was unfortunately around the start of the nu metal era, but System of a down were different enough to get me through that until I got into the heavier stuff. Meshuggah are just on another level, still standing out amongst a sea of copycat bands.
