I'm looking to expand my "portfolio" of bands and music (once again)
Just wondering since Frank is at the top of my list, what 5 bands are at the top of all of his other fans' lists. What are your TOP 5?

the blues isn't an art-form, it's a product-- not unlike computer chips and tampons.

mudhoney-favorite non FB band
then the kinks too
and meat puppets
and Beck I like his music too
and his music hardly qualifies as a band but I really like Chopin
and Leadbelly is another fine musician that I've listened too
here's some other bands that will surely expand your musical horizons:
Raincoats, Leonard Cohen (he's written some novels too, buy them as well), Beach Boys are great, the Chantays are really good, Woody Guthrie has some good stuff; his house of the rising sun puts the animals' version to shame. The Germs is good if you're in a punk kinda mood; Lexicon Devil is rocking and Forming is rocking too. Is that five yet?

GERMS LYRICS

"Forming"

Rip them down
Hold them up
Tell them that
I'm your gun
Pull my trigger
I am bigger than-

Mr. Prez in his big White House
Listen he says we're comin' out
Infiltration-we're numbin' your minds
Concentration-we've done time

[repeat chorus]

Over there the Queen she says
Let's stamp them out and dry
those tears

Saturation-we want in taxes
Flagelation-we've got gashes

[repeat chorus]

In the cold, the czars claimin'
Just protectin', rockets aimin'
Alteration-Earth is changin'
Observation-we want action

[repeat chorus]

I the Emperor proclaim
Us the masters we rule the game
Inclination-somethin' to dream on
Deprivation-we are sons

[repeat chorus]

Please scratch Garbage from my list (although I love them) and replace with Red Hot Chili Peppers who I can't believe I forgot. For shame! I see them in a week, yay!
