I don't know - I didn't work very hard on this. Zeppelin, Cranberries, more U2, Talking Heads, Sixpence - should all be in there. It's a stupid mix of what I think is historically important and what I like. Who really cares if this is right. I don't. Everything will turn out all right in the end...

More for or me you to check out....
INTERPOL
TOOL
KINKY - A latin-jazzy group that sounds incredible.
JEM - A hip-hoppy, jazzy poppish group a bit like late Tom Tom club
Cherche la Femme Rumba - this is a SONG from a group, I don't know name yet. Really EXCELLENT!
HEARTS AND FLOWERS - This sixties band sounds like a modern imitation of Beatlesque psychodlic mx, but they actually were THERE - they did some song... "An ode to...?????" in 1968. Very good.
TFF - speaking of which, the new song from Tears for Fears has been getting some play, and the CD is said to be great. But the sound is a little psychodelic pop, like the La's, etc.
MARGO GURYAN - I have no ide of the last name, but she inspired Ornette Coleman and the Beachboys, and is a bit like Sinatra/Springfield - put out an album in the sixties called TAKE A PICTURE.
MICHELLE BRANCH - She obviously influenced Avril Levigne and Vanessa Carlton, and seems to have several great influences. I mention her because I only recently bought her 2001 CD. The last song is GREAT. She is creative, but her voice style doesn't have staying power compared to Levign.
BANDS TO CHECK OUT..............................................
