I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. The bands or artists that you feel such a strong emotional connection with. Everybody's got em. They have the power to make you feel so close to them and alter your mood so greatly when you listen to them. You can connect to these artists in so many ways, mostly by listening to them for countless hours (and in my case with most of them, shrooming to them) For me, the list goes Rush Grateful Dead Sublime Death Pink Floyd The Eagles This music just speaks to my soul and I'll never feel what I feel with any other music Heh, I sound like a fr00t but music is my fucking life so I feel pretty deeply about it. So what music does this for you?
The Blues Masters (Bessie Smith, Robert Johnson, Eric Clapton etc.) Alkaline Trio - big time Vincent Bell
Rush, Pat Metheny, Yellowjackets, and Talk Talk. I like and love many many others, but those groups feel like my bands; their music speaks to me in a intimate and personal way. Especially Rush, they've been my favorite band for a huge chunk of my life and I can't see it any other way.
Of course anything that Jerry Garcia is in, whether its the Grateful Dead, JGB or anything else. The guy just had this way of connecting with you when he played. John Lennon,Pink Floyd
Bjork its like she knows how i feel. but she can put it in to words, i cannot. her and I, we are one of the same.
