Name your favourite band/artist

Led Zep as a band, but also Springsteen with the E- street band, his latest more country style stuff not for me.
As I love good guitar playing, the likes of stevie ray vaughan, AC-DC get a thumbs up, but Rory Gallagher who I saw a few times takes some beating for someone who played with few frills/stage effects but left it on the stage at the end of every gig.

I arrived at Rory Gallagher from a rock rather than blues direction. My top 3 for him would be :
Top Priority
Stage Struck
Against the Grain

I love Pavement! I saw them live at Newcastle uni. I remember they didn't seem to have any roadies and they came back out after the gig and put their own gear away, I remember talking to Steven Malkmus as he was coiling up his microphone lead!

Yeah man, me too! Followed them around and got chatting a few times...was devod Primavera got pulled, was really looking forward to seeing them play again
 
Been meaning to add to this thread but it took ages to decide. so:
Richard Thompson
1. I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight (1975)
2. Daring Adventures (1986)
3. 13 Rivers (2018)

Like other posters, I find it hard to select only 3 and this will change tomorrow - possibly even later today.

Aw man, how could I forget Pavement. Not been lucky enough to see them (yet - had tickets for their festival gig in Porto next year, or should that be last year?) Seen Stephen Malkmus a couple of times, always excellent (including the encore of Summer Babe in a swealtering hot Paris nightclub a couple of years back).

Anyway, while I'm here - three from Conor Oberst in his various guises:

Ruminations
Better Oblivion Community Centre
Digital Ash in Digital Urn

Ta. That might be a birthday present to myself in a couple of months. Intrigued what the other gigs might sound like without Rick Rubin's engineering.

I just got the vinyl of the Youngstown show from the set. Sounds good. Never bought the deluxe CD set, just had a listen on line, it's all decent but I reckon you'd need to ration the listening out a bit as it's basically the same set repeated.

Bit of a Lancashire flavour....
