EWB's Top 100 Artists 2013 - Vote Here

[Sousa]

Seriously, I left GBV off my list because I figured "nah you know what nobody will vote for that" but FUCK IT let's go.

[SRN]

Come on, Guided By Voices aren't that good.

Who am I kidding, they are.

Still not putting them on my list, though. Looking over it again, I am actually pretty satisfied with it, although I do want to fit Todd Terje and Ian Pooley in there but that would mean bumping off someone which I can't bring myself to do.

[Sousa]

To be fair, GBV have some albums that are really shit (and some songs that are really shit on some otherwise good albums), but they also have humpty gazillion songs and when they're good oh man you guys.

[SRN]

Well, that is to be expected with the output they have had. Because I mean, holy balls, their discography is massive. Boris-level discography here.

[Cactus Drags]

I know of Teenage FBI from Buffy and Hold on Hope from Scrubs. Good songs, but I've never felt strongly enough about them to check out the rest of the stuff.

[Sousa]

Ugh. I really hate "Hold On Hope." It's schmaltzy and so not GBV-ish (Bob Pollard even excluded it from their greatest hits album). I'll take "Echos Myron" or "Bulldog Skin" or holy crap "Cut-Out Witch" or "My Valuable Hunting Knife" or (from what's probably their most approachable album, Earthquake Glue) "Useless Inventions" or pretty much anything over "Hold On Hope." It's kind of sad to me that a band who did so much great, innovative music is probably best known for a syrup-drenched ballad.

Mostly a list of stuff over the last year that has been my favorite with about a 3rd being automatic entries probably every year.

[Skummy]

Guided By Voices are fucking great, and I need to listen to them more.

Also, holy shit, did I not vote for The Kinks? Who can I get rid of for The Kinks? Oh fuck. Now I'm a mess.

Also, I already knew KONG was fucking cool, but Mulatu Astatke? Fuck yes.

This thread makes me wish I was still half as musically adventurous as I used to be.
