Interest check: MB Artist Classics?

Trollheart · 06-11-2018, 12:21 PM

As mentioned in the Bowie Classics thread, we've had a lot of fun with his albums and we are now coming to the end, so I wondered if anyone was interested in repeating this with other artists? Hopefully not stepping on Blank's toes here, but then these would all be discographies from one artist, not separate albums. Suggestions so far include:

ABBA
The Beastie Boys
The Beatles
Beck
Brian Jonestown Massacre
Kate Bush
Johnny Cash
The Clash
The Cure
Death
Death Grips
Depeche Mode
Bob Dylan
Gorguts
PJ Harvey
Michael Jackson
Madonna
Magnetic Fields
Willie Nelson
New Order
Outkast
Prince
Queens of the Stone Age
Radiohead
Roxy Music (Incl. Bryan Ferry solo)
Slayer
The Smiths
Elliott Smith
Regina Spektor
Bruce Springsteen
The Stooges
Talking Heads
A Tribe Called Quest
Velvet Underground
Kurt Vile
Tom Waits
Stevie Wonder

Any others? Anyone want to do this? More suggestions welcome, or tell me which of the above list you're interested in.

I'm probably in - somewhat depending on who we're doing. I don't mind listening to a lot of albums again, as long as it's an artist that I'm curious about at all.

Jesus the Carpenter

Pretty on board with these except the obvious one.

I guess all we have to do is a) figure out how many people are actually interested (there weren't, rather surprisingly, that many into the Bowie threads, but it still more or less worked: I'd say 4-6 people is a good target) and b) who we want to do first. There's no problem (from my side anyway) doing a slew of artists, one at a time, so no need to discount anyone (except Our Saviour of course) as we can come back to them later.

So of the list drawn up, who stands out to anyone? As I said in the Bowie thread, I'd be for Kate, but also maybe The Clash, which sounds like it could be interesting, the Man in Black or the Boss. But it's not about me: who do you guys want to do first?
