i was ALL GEARED UP to think of some artists but rave pretty much said all of them

except he did not list:
sonic youth
joy division
young marble giants

which is surprising because at the very least i'd expect him to love sonic youth and they are like DA BEST BAND from that time and i know for sure he loves joy division so yeah.  they are both amazing bands.  ymg are fucking brilliant too, but for some reason i never hear anyone talk about them basically ever so i am just going to say again that they are easily in my top 5 bands from the 70s/80s which is pretty much just this:

dinosaur jr
sonic youth
elvis costello (how has no one mentioned him???)
the clash
young marble giants
joy division

okay so it is 6

basically I didn't know Sonic Youth was from the 80s, or rather wasn't sure

dunno 70s is pretty crazy for me, I guess like the big ones are uhh King Crimson and Weather Report though

I dont listen to that much music from the 80s really, just a smattering of artists who I really enjoy but nothing too broad

Jethro Tull, Genesis and Yes are my most listened to artists from the 70's. Then there are Pink Floyd, ELP and other prog rock bands that I listen to occasionally.

Besides Metallica/Iron Maiden/Slayer/metal there are not that many bands from the 80's for me. A notable exception is KANSAS which I absolutely adore. Leftoverture is one of the best albums ever. Incidentally, Mariollion's Misplaced Childhood (also from the 80's) is another long-time favourite of mine.
<Drule> I can play the didgeridoo actually
<Drule> some guy on the street taught me
<Drule> come to think of it
<Drule> it was pretty gross how I played on his didgeridoo

so wrong...
