27 "O" List Acts

"Here is sub-zerO, now plain zerO".

I had planned to do just 25, especially as Lewian mentioned disliking seeing more than one option in a space (they are and/or options, so one can vote for one or two votes for both) and I find aesthetically unappealing. That said, I don't treat these as contests and I am more interested in the posts. There you can mention the specific three acts (or more or less) that you like and opted to vote for.

If voting, please mention in a post which you voted for. This is multiple choice. I ask that you vote for three, or more or less, that you enjoy. I suggest not worrying about level of familiarity. While I encourage people to mention what they like from the list IF applicable, I also encourage to mention ones they like that are not in the list. Bonus if it's a fairly obscure name if you can recommend a specific track to check out.

I made a longer list the other day, and here it is.

.O.rang* (see note)
Agnes Obel
Richard O'Brien
October Equus
Of Wondrous Legends (O.W.L.)
Offering
Thee Oh Sees** (see note)
Oiapok
Oingo Boingo
Oiseaux - Tempete
Oktober
Mike Oldfield
Sally Oldfield*** (see note)
Olive Mess
Angel Olsen
Omega
Oneohtrix Point Never
OOIOO
The Open Window
Opeth
Opus Avantra
Opus-5
Orange Peel
Orchestra Njervudarov
Øresund Space Collective
Organisation
Le Orme
Os Mundi**** (see note)
otay:onii
The Orb
Las Orejas Y La Lengua
Osanna
Ose
Osibisa
Ougenweide
Out of Focus
Ozric Tentacles

* .O.rang (aka 'O' rang) should maybe be included under special characters.

** I would place Thee Oh Sees under T, as "Thee" means "You", not "The", but this is where PA places it. It is not in the poll because I think it should be under T. It would be otherwise because I like it a lot.

*** I actually have not listened to much Sally Oldfield but wanted to include her anyway for others in this long list.

**** Os Mundi is Latin for The World. PA puts it under O, I would put it under M. Unfortunately I missed it for M, but still don;t want to compound mistakes. If there are any mistakes here, please let's just gO with it.

Here are the past polls: 27 "N" List Acts & 25 "M" List Acts & 25 "L" List Acts & 25 "K" List Acts & 25 "I and J" List Acts & 25 "H" List Acts & 29 "G" List Acts & 26 "F" List Acts & 25 "E" List Acts & 26 "D" List Acts & 25 "C" List Acts & 25 "B" List Acts & 25 "A" List Acts

I hope others will find acts they like or are interested in from this list and will then mention those, and I hope to hear about other acts. And I hope that will tell me what they don't like from the list. A big name that is missing is Opeth, but that's not something I have listened to in many years and was never that big on it. I tried again from various albums and it was not doing it for me. To each his or her own tastes.

I was tempted to go with both .O.rang and Opiapok myself, but since those already have votes and I want to start with something with no votes, it makes choosing my just three as Oneohtrix Point Never, otay:onii and OOIOO. if going for four, Organisation would get another right now or Las Orejas y La Lengua.

Oneohtrix Point Never is the one of these that I have played the most over the last few months. Garden of Delete (2015) and R Plus Seven (2014) were the first two OPN albums to which I listened. I have a track from each of those albums in the playlist in my signature (the third and fourth choices).

I picked Le Orme, Organisation and Opus 5
One Shot
Ocean
Out Of Focus

Oceansize
October Equus
Offering
OHMA

For every other letter, selecting only three favorites has been a struggle. With "O" I only have one stand out favorite, and that is Le Orme

Ose's one off Adonia basically sound like peak-Heldon to me, so a vote for them as well

Mike Oldfield

October Equus, Le Orme, and Ozric Tentacles. Another packed kitchen cabinet opened, another pile of integrands and computer pouches all over the floor.
