hi everyone, I think this can be really helpful and interesting to discover new music.

You can either say your 5 most influential artist of all time, or your favorite artist of the moment or of all time, whatever.

 

My top 5 goes like this.

 

1-Kettel

2-Miles Davis

3-Gil Scott Heron

4-John Coltrane

5- Tie position here: Aphex Twin and Dinosaur JR.

 

Whats yours!

Your love for Kettel makes me very happy. I can't really arrange a list of favorite artists, however Kettel was a life changing discovery.

One artist you would want to perform at your funeral.

radiohead / thom

tool / mjk

animal collective / panda bear

miles / swans / zappa / boc / dead / isis

My list hasn't changed at all. Probably when you hit your mid 30's these things remain more stable. I don't want too sound big headed but when it comes to the realms of electronic/rock music I've heard a lot of stuff so doubt my top 5 will change. The only way it will is if I get into another genre like jazz or classical, another realm so to speak. Maybe Sun Ra will take a top spot in 5 years time....

AE
Death Grips
Wolfgang Voigt
VHS Head
Sensational

another pointless list i feel guilty of making. feels good to rip it off my chest and show it to the world though, like that leech on the back of my neck that went about its business unnoticed for the whole afternoon.

my "desert-island-artist-top-5-list":

John Coltrane

Street Military

Aphex Twin (like in all of his monikers)

Madlib (like in all of his monikers/collabs)

El-P (respectively Company Flow or Run The Jewels)

Too sick to go to work, so breaking rules:

1. Chopin
2. Aphex Twin
3. Radiohead
4. Bob Dylan
5. Boards of Canada
6. Smokey Robinson
7. Plaid
8. ELO
9. Tchaikovsky
10. Gas
11. Bee Gees
12. Steinski
13. Marvin Gaye
14. Sam & Dave
15. Ochre
16. Robin Pecknold
17. Autechre
18. Schubert
19. Four Tops
20. Gang Starr
21. Mussorgsky
22. Ulrich Schnauss
23. Jon Hopkins
24. emptyset

26. Röyksopp
27. Fleet Foxes
28. The Field
29. James Brown
30. Bach
31. Air
32. Stars Of The Lid

Ordered as best I could, but obviously a 1-dimensional ranking of art(ists) is very imperfect. Like having The Supremes above Bach...

Beck

Aphex Twin

Ivor Cutlar

Global Goon

I doubt many watmmer's hate making lists, heh

Though I can't handle top 10 albums of all time, now that is fucking impossible!!

yeahhh does obsessive list making put me on the autism spectrum?? I should retake that test.. top 10 albums of all time ain't got nothing on top 10 autechre tracks of all time megamix 2.0.

Some featured artist of Watmm do not show up in favorites list. no luke vibert, ceephax and no u-ziq and barely no clark on any list.

hmmmm, I wonder who decided the featured artist.

As of 2014:

5. Lone
4. Actress
3. Plaid
2. VHS Head
1. Ae (hasn't changed since 1999)

EDIT: If this were last year, there would've been DJ Rashad, Machine Drum, and Team Doyobi in lieu of VHS Head, Plaid, and Lone.

no order
