For The Rest Of Your Life

Antonio Vivaldi, better than Bach or Mozart IMO.
Plini (progressive guitar instrumentalist, brilliant compositions)
Enigma, soulful and dynamic, haunting male and female vocals

Ain't No Way to limit music to 3 songs!!! Too much good stuff out there, my man! I couldn't limit it to 3 years!!! LOL!

Rich

I agree I agree no possible way for three songs, But what about three artist?
And John, Enigma is a great choice!

Pink Floyd



Tool



Incubus



Joe Burgess
J.B. Imagery

Ryan,

This just between us,right?

Beatles
Andrea Bocelli
Leonard Bernstein

That should cove a LOT of ground!

Rich

I agree with Vivaldi and Mozart, but I would opt for Beethoven over Bach. Just me.

So who builds sound systems in to coffins?

John I am currently playing Plini. I like that a lot. Thanks,

Dave

Chopin
Hillsong
Nat King Cole

Beethoven
Mahler
Stravinsky

So many, lately
Thelonious Monk
Sergei Prokofiev
Bob Dylan

I would lean heavily on classical. Two would likely be Handel and Vivaldi. That third spot is wide open...Jimmy Buffett, maybe? ; )

Ludovico Einaudi.

Jason Becker - Electric prayer for peace.

Eivor - Rain (instrumental version in studio)

Chopin v Vivaldi tough call.

Dave

Moody Blues

Phil Keaggy

Vivaldi

Chopin just won out. LOL

Dave

So many to choose from, Vivaldi, Mozart, and Beethoven.

Choose Bernstein and you get all those guys and a few others.............sneaky,huh?

Rich

Adding a 4th one

Beatles
Dan Fogelberg
Vince Gill
Eagles

I like music thread
If you are trying to compare Violin(Vivaldi) and Piano(Chopin) That would be difficult. sort of like comparing apple and orange.
I love all string music. Piano is a string instrument. very hard to choose just 3
Agnes Obel ; Brother Sparrow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS2GoewZUFI

This is kind of hard. These 2 will always be my top 2.

Alan Parsons
The Beatles

The 3rd choice for today is Chic Corea.

Next week I might chose Joe Pass as the 3rd, or Kansas, or the Moody blues.

Leonard Cohen
Simon & Garfunkel
Beatles

Vivaldi is a popular choice, Chopin is good too, but makes me depressed after a while with the sad piano. Vivaldi's cheery violin practically creates color when it is played and his music always changing, big swells, solo violin, slow, fast, you never know what is coming next.. I love that.

Dave it's my pleasure to introduce you and anyone to Plini, glad you like it. I'm listening now while creating an Egyptian themed piece.

This one's my favorite from Plini.

There is no way I could pick only three...there are just too many great artists out there.

Rich I do like your picks...they do cover a lot of ground!

Liz,
Leonard Cohen original version of Hallelujah, so great. although I do enjoy Jeff Buckley's version as well

I'm playing the angles, looking for the greatest variety.
Therefore, my choices might be
Berlin Philharmonic
Robert Shaw Chorale
Some cover band with a wide repertoire?
I know this is sort of cheating with regard to the spirit of the OP, but I like playing the obscure strategy corners anyway.

Rachmaninov
Bach
Bocconcinni

Why?

Because I've played them, know them intimately, thrived in my soul, on them.

Vivaldi is always in the background...of course

Leonard , yes !

I'll go with an artist I don't like...
If I had to listen to the same artist for the rest of my life, I am sure after about 6 months, they would feel so overplayed... I'd hate to ruin my memories of music I started off loving. But if I were forced to choose, I'd choose any major orchestra that had been around for a long time, and had played a wide variety of classical music. Or gypsies. I could listen to gypsy music for a long time.

Actually, I prefer not having music on all the time. I like being able to hear subtle stuff that goes on around me... just ambient noise, birds, people talking, rain, footsteps, airplanes, leaves in the wind...

My mother, who had a lovely voice.
Gordon Lightfoot
Ian Tyson

Amazing how most of us listen to classical music. Mine are Rimsky-Korsakov, Itzhak Perlman and Casting Crowns.

Andrea Bocelli
Simon & Garfunkle
Van Morrison

If I could have one more it would be
Rolling Stones

Frank Zappa
The Beatles
Jethro Tull

That's a tough one. Probably....

Chicago
CSN&Y
________: (still thinking :) )

@Hyoye: Have you heard kd lang's version of Hallelujah?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_NpxTWbovE

Leon Russell
Ray Charles
Willie Nelson

I agree that having classical in the mix is essential, but I would want to mix it up a bit.

Beethoven
Van Morrison
Lucinda Williams

U2 is one but theres so many that I can't point my finger on, I like Pink Floyd, John Lennon etc.

Liz, Thanks, Kd Lang is crazy good. She has one of those voices, you can never go wrong with her voice.

U2
Nine Inch Nails
Elvis

And because it doesn't seem right not to include some classical & sacred music: Arvo Part

Eric Clapton
Patsy Cline
Van Morrison

Keane, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Chris Cornell from Soundgarden!

Queen ( Freddie Mercury had an incredible voice)
Roy Orbison
Leon Russell

Rachmaninov

Vivian,

Great minds think alike.

Dave

Led Zeppelin
Yaz
Righteous Brothers

The Beatles
U2
Tom Petty

The Beatles could almost be three artists unto themselves with such distinctive time periods and sounds

Joseph, are you leaving out Ringo??????

Poor Ringo :( For me, it would be silence. I have so many tunes in my head it would take the rest of my life on a desert island to get rid of them all. Music taste is so very subjective. There's nothing worse than having to listen to someone else's choices. Thank goodness for headphones.

If I had to choose, though, it would be by instrument. Classical all the way, strings. Any tune will do.

63 and 64
65, 66 and 67
68, 69 and 70

More or less the Beatles time periods as I think of them

Almost everything before the second half of the 90's.

:)

That's a tough question

Bach (I could not give up the Well Tempered Clavier)
Maybe Gershwin
Joni MItchell

Bob Dylan

Itzak Perlman

Metallica

How's that for eclectic :) I chose favorites that have extensive catalogs, but there are so many more that I love. Tried to cover the spectrum of moods that would most definitely come up.

Stravinsky.......To stir me up

Debussy..........To calm me down

Janis Joplin......To SHOUT...

lol, just checking., just testing..... nope. nobody noticed. correction........should be..........

Boccherini

Joseph was Paul better after the Beatles? Possibly.

Was Ringo better afterwards? Possibly?

Was George better after the Beatles? Definitely.

Was John better? John was more of John and that was always good enough.

Dave

I have to agree with you RIcardo
Music was great intil mid 90s

I would have a hard time picking just 3
If i have to id pick

Reba
Journey (with Steve Perry)
Ozzy old school ozzy before the mumbling
Sharonnnnnn!

That covers all my music mood swings
But still so limited to 3 :(

KISS
KISS
KISS

Impossible! I'd rather have no music than limited music!

Johann Sebastian Bach.



EDITED TO ADD: Oops, three? Hmmm...

The Beatles:



Beethoven:

Led Zeppelin
Ozzy
Metallica

--Roz Abellera

Love, Bach

It's Friday !!!
