Mubi User Singer (or Musician) Obsessions

@ari: Gainsbourg had a “reggae period”? Lookin’ that up…

Songs About Fucking is so cool…

For the Dude:

i am afraid to play that ^ lol.

Already did. I LOL’d.

Orbison is awesome.

Well, I might know a lot about Gainsbourg, but my overall lack of musical culture shows, I haven’t recognized a lot of pictures!

I’m also a major M.I.A. fan…

Oh, and Frank Zappa!

My holy trinity:

@brad s.: So Beatles are God, Bruce is Jesus, and The Kinks are the Holy Spirit?

Didn’t think about it that deeply, but now that you mention it, that’s pretty much how it pans out. :)

omg. The Kinks’ “Waterloo Sunset” – heaven.

R.I.P. Captain Beefheart.

mingus

Curtis

I know, Ruby. Forums like this one are difficult to limit my choices on! !

@j,: you forgot “Mayfield”.

My #1:

Playin’ in my car

Roxy Music with (or without) Eno…

Kim’s great but Tina can lay down the bottom better

Otis!

Al Green blows your mind

Always on my mind

Austin band Heartless Bastards

And the sassy one:

Mine are many, and mostly long-dead blues, jazz, and country musicians. Among the living:

The Drive-By Truckers

Todd Snider

Elizabeth Cook

Juliana Hatfield

I am an unashamed Spencer Krug fanboy:

… or pretty much any other indie singer with a nasally voice.

And then I’m extremely obsessed with Philip Glass:

I’m pretty sure we’re gonna play Knee 5 from Einstein on the Beach at my wedding!

Robert Wyatt

@douglas reese: thanx for the photo!
