Give it a minute or so, because the band doesn't start immediately.

Ahhh I knew the Wild Tchoupitoulas were too obvious of a choice for W!!!! 
But what bands or artists are you in to? I suppose it takes a list like this to make me realize how much I like jazz.
And Walrus that video doesn't show up on my ipod, so I'll just check a cd out from la biblioteca.

Nope. I listed my favorites from each letter.
I couldn't think of any artist/band for “N” that I liked well enough to list (Neil Young belongs in “Y”). Nash had a solo song or two that were OK but I liked his contributions to The Hollies and CSN better. I was never really that big on Nirvana either. I felt it best to leave it blank instead of just throwing something in there by default.

I'm into a lot of different styles, I suppose. My CD rack is filled with Classical, Heavy Metal, really old Blues, Punk, Southern Rock, a lot of Classic Rock, one or two Beatles albums, etc…
I don't have any Jazz artisits in my coffers because I haven't found an artist/group that I can't live without. However, I really enjoy listening to it on my Cable TV's music channels where they usually play the more popular songs of the genre. When I lived in Phoenix, one of my favorite radio stations was KYOT where they played a lot of “smooth jazz”. It is very relaxing.

I bought this single – SFA’s Hometown Unicorn – in my first week at uni, without having heard them but knowing they were a local band. It’s from 1996 and is beautiful.
It blew me away. Listen to the harmonies, arrangement, melodies. Lovely! They were signed to Creation at the time, but everyone ignored them in favour of the massively inferior Oasis.
Ellie and I first bonded over SFA, going to all their concerts and devouring their records – she walked down the aisle at our wedding to the sound of Hello Sunshine. I interviewed Gruff Rhys (the singer – pronounced Griff) a few times too. They’re stars here in Wales and well respected around the world, but most people see them as crazy Welsh wizards strung out on mushrooms (or other boring cliches). They’ve gone off the boil a bit lately but their earlier stuff is wonderful. So yes, I’m a bit of a fan!
I recommend the albums Radiator, Rings Around The World and the singles collection Songbook, plus the Welsh-language Mwng if you’re feeling a bit braver. Gruff’s solo stuff is very good too. Here’s his most recent single – all his and SFA’s back catalogue are full of these sorts of pop gems:

Offline Thanks for the recommendation Joe! I'm going to get some of their stuff I like the first song you posted!
I have to say for me it's fantastic you share other bands we like besides obviously the Beatles. I'm catching up with my zero listening to new music in the 90s and some other years.
Edit : I have to say I just listened to Radiohead Kid-A thanks to the recommendation of a friend and it blew me away. I’m going to check out Radiator and Rings around the world.
(and I need to get a larger mp3 player)
BTW To Joe and anybody who's a Joy Divison fan… can you recommend me a good album to start with?

Mith, that's…. sad and yet inspirational. I think lots of us young people don't realise something. There still is good current music. But they won't be promoted like Beiber is. (I love how Beiber is considered a typo. I just love it.) So, I pipe up my favourite current band, Arcade Fire. Their most recent album is great, especially the title track. (The fact they're Montreal boys doesn't hurt, of course).

Whoops! I listed the wrong one, I meant Paulrus.
But I do like some of the bands you listed and I'm starting to get into jazz and old blues and the like.
So then Paulrus, we have very similar music taste.

The thing is SunKing I went through 2 very sad situations in my family in the 90s, and I didn't even care for checking out what was going in the music scene.
So I'm catching up. Oh Joe and BTW I got Radiator and Rings around the world and so far so great!!! . Hillarious they have a song named Chupacabras. 
And Arcade Fire SunKing, recommend me a good CD. I listened to My body is my cage.
