Subject: Your Top 5 Non Prog Bands/Artists
Date Posted: April 17 2009 at 13:39
Very few people only listen to one genre of music. Outside of prog who are your top 5 bands/artists. I'd be really interested to see how much diversity or common ground there is in the tastes of Prog enthusiasts.
Here's my list.
1. Van Morrison
2. Tom Waits
3. Kate Rusby
4. Miles Davis
5. Lamchop
------------- Haiku
