i suppose you could also ask youself : ' what band or artist haven't you listened or gotten into yet knowing that one day you should?

I'll start with Genesis, the cure, most classical music dudes, 2pac, bill evans and the rolling stones...

Liberace......Manilow......The Village People......Yawni.........
Just Kidding.....
actually....I was thinking of listening to alot of Classical,
Chopin,Bach etc.......i would love to play that stuff on the guitar, but very difficult.

yea of course. actually my classical music is really THE musical genre i should get to know better but dont cause im too impressed by the huge repertoir of each composer.

The music is so outragous im quite intimidated frankly. so i just pospone my interest (untill what, i have no clue...)

I would consider The police classical if genesis is classical, and is aw them, they were good

i think he was just listing bands and music he really likes, and classical composers were one of the things he listed. he didn't mean genesis is classical, because they aren't. classic rock, but not classicAL. Cool

classic... Laughing

seriously though, id like to think if ive heard of them i would have checked them out.... though in saying that, its hard with bands like 'Genesis' because theve done so many songs in so many different styles... 90% of which im not a fan of... 10% i think are great... Laughing

this makes it really hard to think when to stop checking them out and start checking out someone else.... i have gone wild and collected one groups whole discograpy pretty much before... i did it with 'Iron Butterfly'... i got like 7 albums only to realise i didnt like 90% of theyre stuff either... that sucked.... Laughing

very good point FaceFitz
Thats one of the main reasons i still havnt got into Genesis
some completely outstanding songs and then the rest i have trouble with
but the same happened when i stated listening to Zappa. Fortunetly, with time, i accepted most of what he did. Took me two good years through.
Yea, iron butterfly i barely know aswell
And same applies to King Crimson, I only know their 2 fist albums.

Oh if i can suggest one of the best albums ever (yea i know, ridiculous thing to say, but for some albums its just the only way to descbibe them), check out 'Matching Mole' the studio album
by Matching Mole. Group founded by Robert Wyatt after he left Soft Machine.

id have to say the yardbirds, i love every musician in the band, but i just havent gone about getting the cd. im ashamed because i call myself a robert plant fanatic.

robert plant was never in the yardbirds...or maybe you're just making another connection from the yardbirds to led zeppelin via jimmy page, who was a yardbird after eric clapton. of course, what 60's british breakout solo artist wasn't a yardbird at one time. Very Happy

hmmm, back to the original question, "band or artist haven't you listened or gotten into yet knowing that one day you should? "

einsturzende neubauten come to mind. i've got a lot of them covered, though. i'll have to return.
