In the spirit of helping out Google Ads, name your 5 favorite musical acts |
|
or 10, or 20 (not counting Pink Floyd). I'm finding the easy way to do this is to trot out the people whose every record you must have. (Of course, this is cheap and easy for me since everybody I like gets dropped from their record labels oftener than not.)
Mine: Too Much Joy Steve Wynn/ SW & the Miracle 3/ Gutterball (RIP Bryan Harvey), Dream Syndicate John Wesley Harding Ralph Moore (He plays saxophone; apparently having perfect tone kills your ability to keep a record deal) Jerry Douglas
Of course you could focus on very popular artists that you can tolerate on the grounds that they'd be more likely to have Google ads (in my case Tom Petty and Lyle Lovett, say) or just put Pink Floyd in all five slots. I've already tripped Google's PF meter for today anyway.:)
