As you can probably tell, I'm in fucking love with Steely Dan.

Glad you dig Steely Dan. They are one of the few bands I've never gotten tired of, possibly because they don't sound like ANY other band on the planet, being completely unique doesn't happen very often in music.

They sound a good bit like Porcupine Tree's middle period (Signify, Lightbulb Sun, Stupid Dream). They also started out as a one man band who eventually built a full-size group. Mellower than PT, but very good songwriting.

I've just started exploring them, but so far I like the album "Tightly Unwound" the best.

Cool. I'll have to check 'em out.

One month later...

1. Opeth
2. Anathema
3. The Pineapple Thief
4. Storm Corrosion
5. Rush
6. Jimi Hendrix
7. Atomic Rooster
8. Steven Wilson
9. Ian Anderson
10. High On Fire

Only 1 band (High On Fire) that could be construed as strictly "metal" (Opeth is their own genre IMO). This is likely to become the norm for me, as metal keeps falling further down my list of music that moves me.

My Steely Dan obsession has died down a bit... although they're still the number one in the last month.

1. Steely Dan
2. Budgie
3. Sortilège
4. Opeth
5. The Doobie Brothers
6. Iron Maiden
7. Fifth Angel
8. maudlin of the Well
9. Golden Earring
10. Blue Öyster Cult

My metal listening habits have shot up the past coupla days, mainly due to my discovery of Sortilège and the French metal scene (that in turn inspired me to jam some Maiden and Fifth Angel etc).

I predict Porcupine Tree will jump back up to the top of my list for next month, I've been purposely avoiding them for awhile to "freshen things up", but now I've got the jones to listen to all their albums (both studio and live) again...I might even do it chronologically.

1. All things Wino
2. All things Jeff Martin (Tea Party, etc)
3. John Coltrane
4. Otis Rush
5. Jimi Hendrix
6. Motorhead
7. High On Fire
8. Eddie Harris
9. John Mayer
10. Danzig

1. The tea party
2. Orange goblin
3. COC
4. Horslips
5. Armored saint

I feel a Steve Earle kick coming on...I listen to hos stuff when I need to just think about things.

In the last month:

1. Sortilège -- 83
2. The Beatles -- 75
3. Steely Dan -- 55

10. Witchcraft

Good pick, the "Life Cycle" album is great!

From what I've heard of that one, it's very Watchtower influenced. I much prefer their later more prog-rock oriented releases.

You'd probably enjoy Sophisticated, DC. That album's more prog metal than prog rock, though not as thrashy as Life Cycle.

Lately it's been:

1) Creedence Clearwater Revival
2) Ween
3) John Denver
4) Average White Band
5) Funkadelic
6) Cat Stevens
7) Edgar Broughton Band
8. Biz Markie
9) Stuff Smith
10) Trust
11) Tom Waits
12) Mammoth Mammoth
13) Louis Armstrong
14) Eric B And Rakim
15) Canned Heat
16) Black Sabbath
17) The Beatles
18. Pavlov's Dog
19) The Presidents Of The United States Of America
20) Megadeth

That is a very versatile list...very nice!

Anybody who likes Stuff Smith is okay with me!

Changing it up again, top 15 artists of the past 3 months:

1. Rush
2. Porcupine Tree
3. Opeth
4. The Pineapple Thief
5. King Crimson
6. Anathema
7. Storm Corrosion
8. Steely Dan
9. High On Fire
10. Steven Wilson
11. Ian Anderson
12. Jimi Hendrix
13. Orange Goblin
14. Atomic Rooster
15. Thin Lizzy

One glaring problem with this list is that jazz artists never make the top because I listen to so many different artists that I don't really repeat the same ones often.
