If you could only listen to 20 artists for the rest of your life, who would they be? Looking at my own list, I realize it's almost exclusively populated with older, well known artists. That's not to say there aren't new, or more esoteric artists I really enjoy listening to, but these are the ones who IMO can pretty much do no wrong and who's body of work I enjoy, goes much deeper than a couple of good albums or a couple of good songs. Because of their track record, I'll find myself less critical of anything they do ... giving even their songs that I'm not initially impressed with a second and third chance to grow on me....and they often do. I've heard a couple of the older, over-played bands, like the Beatles, Zeppelin, and Stones for example, so many times that I'm somewhat burnt out by much of their catalogue, but I couldn't not include them and they'll always be in my top 20.
Anyway, it's fun to see what everyone's taste in music is.
