Your favourite artist for every letter of the alphabet

The Music Discussion forum has replaced the old Lyrics and Samples forum and the Live Scene and Music Reviews forum. This forum is used to discuss anything relating to Music including Orbital topics, the live scene including Orbital gigs past, present and future. This section is an ideal place to post your live gigs reviews and album / single reviews. This forum can also be used to discuss Orbital lyrics and samples. The website will never disclose or confirm samples for legal reasons - so this is the next best thing.

Your favourite artist for every letter of the alphabet

Postby Kvagga on Fri Dec 30, 2005 7:02 pm

As the subject says... (took this idea from another forum)

Here's mine:

Aphex Twin
Banco De Gaia
Chemical Brothers
Daft Punk
Etnica
Future Sound of London
Global Communication
Hybrid
Infusion
Juno Reactor
Kraftwerk
Leftfield
Meat Beat Manifesto
N.R.G.
Orbital
Prodigy
Quinoline Yellow
Röyksopp
Squarepusher
Transglobal Undeground
Utah Saints
Vangelis
Way Out West
X?
Yellow Magic Orchestra
Z?

I tried to keep my list electronic, but that's no rule. For some of the letters I had to really stretch it and others seemed to just have too many good artists associated with them. :)

Cure / Chemical brothers
Dodgy
Brian Eno
Fatboy slim
Guns n Roses / Goldfrapp
Herbaliser
Isley Brothers
Jurassic Park, whoops, i meant Five
Kraftwerk
Led Zeppelin
Metallica
Nirvana / Nightmares on wax
Orbital
Plaid
Queens of the Stoneage
Radiohead
Super Furry animals / Steely Dan
Teenage Fanclub
Underworld
V - Hmm, looks like I dont have any v's
Wagon Christ / White Stripes
X - Hmm, looks like I dont have any x's
Y - Hmm, looks like I dont have any y's either
Zero 7
I don't know you people...why are you here?

I would have thought that Orbital would be taken as given :roll:.
Also to be honest, it was the discovering of the Ozrics that took me away from being a rock and metal head and led down the road of what I listen to now. So in terms of pure influence they would be much more important to me, 'coz without them there would be at least a lot less of the electronica and mellowness that inhabits my cd collection than there is :)
