Tonight, in the wake of a recent break up, I spent a good three hours listening to music and just realized how absolutely bonkers my playlist was tonight. Just throw a few names out there: Elvis Presley, Radiohead, Metallica, The Pixies, Jethro Tull, The Beatles, The B-52s, Janis Joplin, A Tribe Called Quest, Pantera, Ill Nino, etc etc.... Quite a mix.
Anyway, I was wondering what two artists everyone listens to that they think are the absolute parallel ends of their little music universe. Basically the two most different artists. I think mine must be the jazz king Miles Davis, and in the other corner probably the very hardcore band Dillinger Escape Plan.

I'd guess the extremes I listen to (and isn't it ironic that the band "Extreme" are MOR crap?) are:
The Berzerker (or Cannibal Corpse)
to
The Orb (or maybe some classical, which I listen to a lot)
in terms of loud/quiet fast/slow extremes.
Originally posted by Bosse de NageI just finished watching the video for "Hurt" by Johnny Cash (by just I mean like literally ten seconds ago). Still the only music video that draws at least one tear every time I watch it. Cash was the man.
Er, Johnny Cash to the guy who did The Whistler via The Legendary Pink Dots.

Wonder what the new Cash film is like.
Originally posted by Bosse de NageI think the only two songs that get me almost every time are "Creep" by Radiohead and "Yesterday" by The Beatles. "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" by Wilco has gotten me once or twice though. This is all leaps and bounds away from back when I was in my early teens and listening to Korn when I was depressed...
