| Re: Ten Bands or Artists You Don't Know
Not sure for the reason in a wide range in music listed. For me personally I like good and or unusual lyrics, especially when accompanied by a slightly different or powerful voice, think Gordon Gano, Robert Plant, Nick Cave, Johnny Cash, Janis Joplin, Tori Amos, Marianne Faithfull, Daivid Bowie, Jack White, Bob Dylan etc. I still need to like the music but foremost would be lyrics. There is some stuff I like purely for the sound or attitude but even then the importance of the lyrics becomes evident, bands like Dead Kennedys and Sex Pistols come to mind, noisy as can be but still with something to say. As to age or caught between generations, cannot honestly say but for the record I am 35, born in 1971 and have at times wished that I was born a decade or two earlier.
1995
