If you could only listen to seven bands/artists for the rest of your life..

John Cusack and Jack Black in “High Fidelity”

which ones would they be?

Yeah, yeah, you know I love the music discussion questions. Got thinking of this when I re-watched the movie “High Fidelity.” I floated a shorter version (five bands/artists) on the radio station’s FB page. Then I found this article in The Escapist magazine. Two extra choices make for a better question. Poster “Lightspeed Jack” framed it this way:

If you could only listen to seven bands for the rest of your life…

Well, what bands would those be? I’ll say that you can listen to anything they have and will make. The key is variety, you don’t want all one genre. You can include artists as well.

My seven will not come as any great surprise, I don’t think, to anyone who’s spent more than five minutes reading this blog. In no particular order:

• The Beatles
• Warren Zevon
• Great Big Sea
• The Rankin Family
• Marshall Crenshaw
• Dwight Yoakam
• Moxy Früvous

Honorable mention:

• Teenage Fanclub
• Joan Armatrading
• Eytan Mirsky
