Reply To: Other music… *gasp*
Other music, other music…hmm. Last.fm informs me my most-listened artists are They Might Be Giants, Elvis Costello & the Attractions, and Sparks (followed by XTC, The Kinks, and The Residents). My musical tastes are kind of all over the map though–as a teenager, when everybody else was getting into poppy emo-rock, I was almost exclusively listening to jazz and pop from the 1920s/30s.
For anybody here who hasn’t heard of Sparks, I highly recommend you check them out, starting with their albums “Propaganda” and “Kimono My House”. They have a pretty odd stage presence, but they write great songs. They’ve also written songs in virtually every musical genre known to man.
Unrelated, but is anybody else here a fan of song-poems? Now there’s some truly strange music…
