Avoidance

Well, the paper I mentioned in the last post has once more been subverted to a more favorable activity, that being the creation of a list of bands I need to see. Check it out below:

Los Campesinos!
Wilco
TV on the Radio
Band of Horses
Phish
Public Enemy
Beach House
Grizzly Bear (missed opportunity at Radiohead)
Wu-Tang Clan, entirety (RIP ODB)*
The Hold Steady
The New Pornographers*
Belle and Sebastian
Daft Punk
Morrissey
the Talking Heads
De La Soul
The Arcade Fire
Beck
Gorrilaz
Explosions in the Sky
Wolf Parade*
Sufjan Stevens
TL/RX
The National
Broken Social Scene*



The asterisk indicates I've seen individual members or related acts perform before. I figure I'd publish this as a blog post if only in the event that my computer crashes and I lose the document I saved. Consider it a to-do list before I die.

EDIT I forgot to mention the list is in no order of priority, only the order in which I thought of them.

I just realized that some, if not all, of my followers would be appalled to see I listed Phish. By no means am I anywhere near a Phish fan, but I have too many friends [that don't read my blog] that like the band that I figure I ought to give them a fair chance.

I'd consider myself a casual Broken Social Scene fan at best, but theirs was, without at doubt, the best show I've ever been to. If your list is in prioritized order, bump BSS to the top.

Appalled? They clearly haven't opened their ears. Phish can play the hell out of virtually any song. Contrastingly, VERY few can cover Phish.

Phish?
