PICKS:
CD's:
Miles
Davis - Kind of Blue, and most anything else he has
recorded. My favorite era of Miles is early to mid-'60s.
What i love so much about "kind of blue" is that
he basically assembled these incredible musicians for a
brief jam session, and they did a few takes of each song,
often using the first take for the album. Each solo has
so much life and is so melodic that is sounds written, not
improvised. In this respect, Mr. Davis has taught me how
to solo with my instrument.
Radiohead
- OK Computer. This album is incredible. Enough said.
Over
the Rhine - Good Dog Bad Dog. The richest most mature
album i've ever heard.
Sting
- anything he has recorded
Morrissey
- interesting guy...
U2
- anything. i'm not one of those "oh, i used to like
them when they played like this..." kinda guys. i would
say my favorite albums are Unforgettable Fire, Joshua Tree,
and All That You Can't Leave Behind.
Ani
Difranco - i own most of her CDs, and although i don't
always agree with her politics or views on life, she is
unmatched in her passionate performance.
Phil
Keaggy - one of the best guitar players in the world.
he whoops my butt.

Jon Stewart - remember when he had his own late night show

and Chevy Chase? anyway, my vote in the war went to Jon
Stewart. but i think i was out-voted, because i think he
only lasted like one season or something...bummer...
