Harmony Korine...discuss about 2 years ago

Who is the greatest musical artist of all time? about 2 years ago

Thread could use some Prince Rama of Ayodhya, some Non Credo, some Poul Ruders, some Trifonidis Free Orchestra, some Lethe, some Tyva Kyzy, some Hamid Drake and some Red Trio.

and a thousand other artists.

sorry but i find it difficult to think in terms of Goat, stick to the G.

hmm
