Well, given the arch conservative nature of the chit-chat massive, it's a question of gently leading them into perhaps new territories than hit them directly with the art-rock terror of The Stretchheads, Lawnmower Death or Bolthrower.

word up-cameo
buffalo stance-nenah cherry

Springsteen - Jungleland
Blue Nile - Saturday Night
Counting Crows - Anna Begins

Isn`t it weird, just listened some some tracks above. Won`t mention tracks/names but last 2 were the biggest pile of bland tripe imaginable, but to the poster it`s their fav track. Can anything be more subjective than music?

The Beatles - Fool on the Hill
Wings - Morse Moose and the Grey Goose
Paul McCartney - Every Night

I do enjoy a wide variety of artists.

The White stripes - Death letter, albeit a cover of the Son House original.

The Raconteurs - Carolina drama, also played by Jack white as a solo artist with a full backing band.

Warren Zevon - The indifference of heaven

Tom Verlaine - Breaking in my heart

Blur - Popscene
Talk Talk - It's My Life
Royal Blood - Figure It Out

Springsteen - Depends on mood but probably, Thunder Road
Tom Petty - Refugee
The Rolling Stones - The Last Time

Sticking to the thread title...

My three favourite artists (assuming that groups are allowed) are...

The Beach Boys
The Doors
The Smashing Pumpkins

Their best songs are...

God Only Knows
The End
Disarm

Only one of those makes it into my top 10 songs overall though

was going for Blur as well ,but had to leave one or two out - 


Blur = Mr Robinsons Quango

Popscene still brilliant though - not an an album if i'm not mistaken

Considered Blur too. Best 'big' band I've seen live by a country mile.

listening to the 'great escape- Blur 1995 '  what a great album that was ,great tunes,great memories .

nice to see them still going for it with their new material -they rarely disappoint  - Coxon still a fruit loop

every album top notch - even their first

Saw them post Great Escape, but pre Blur Blur. Utterly brilliant.

Bruce Springsteen: New York City Serenade
Elizabeth & the Catapult: Do Not Hang Your Head
Van Morrison: Summertime in England

The Beatles - Hey Jude
The Stones - The Last Time
The Bee Gees - Massachusetts

The Pogues - Lullaby of London

Yup, gotta break 'em in easy, Rog!

Naw mate, I saw Scorps @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_Rock_Festival#2007 and this year I'm away to Cornwall for Motörhead and the Stranglers http://www.edenproject.com/media/2015/03/Mot%C3%B6rhead-to-blast-Eden-Sessio...

fleet foxes- he doesnt know why
friends again- state of art
shack -miles apart

Brian Setzer Orchestra - Mystery Train          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIUUkpO8u-8
ELO - Don't Walk Away                           https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IzPTBgBXn8
Status Quo - Don't Waste My Time                https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DTwPVPuS3w

Sonic Youth- Teenage Riot

Pavement- Summer Babe

Radiohead- Idioteque

Found it tough to pick my 3rd artist, and tougher to pick my favourite song by each. Probably changes on a weekly basis.

Radiohead - Weird Fishes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_Ydoe4Q-Gg

Van Morrison - Linden Arden Stole the Highlights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVZey3HTzWA

Bob Dylan - Idiot Wind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbhRHzMWRvs

I'v just scanned the thread, and I only know 15 songs on here, and that includes my own 3.

Dinosaur Jr - Start Choppin'   :        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbD1sZj8BbA

Wilco - A Shot In The Arm      :        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duDY-VCVcSw

Gene - Tal To Me Someone       :        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKzP1E0Plo8

Could have been any three different bands (maybe two as DJ ain't moving from no.1 slot), or for that matter, any of forty but right her right now this is my trio.

*Gene - Talk To Me Someone

Bruce Springsteen - Backstreets
The Cure - Just Like Heaven
Queen - Save Me
