Nothin’ you could serve could ever ace me boy…
Just reacquired Digable Planets’ “Blowout Comb,” which I had inexplicably lost over the past couple of years. Severely underrated album. I mentioned to a friend of mine (who asked) that I had just bought this album, and she mentioned that I “have the most eclectic taste in music that she knows of.”
I don’t know about that. I at least think I have pretty good taste in music, all things considered. And I don’t hang my hat on bullshit bands no one’s ever heard of just because I heard they played a show recently at CBGB, and are so inside it makes me look cool. Screw those guys. I remember at the end of 2003 there were some “Best of the Year” lists that I read that had all these albums on it from bands I’ve never heard of (and never will, I’m sure), and didn’t even mention Outkast’s double CD. Screw those guys, there’s no way possible to leave Outkast off your list. The only reason you’re doing it is to seem cool to the rest of America to make us think you know something we don’t. Kiss my ass.
Anyway, let’s take inventory by artist (off the top of my head, I’m at work) and genre:
Jazz
Miles Davis
John Coltrane
Kenny Burrell
Henry Threadgill
Charlie Parker
Charlie Hunter
Paul Chambers
Sonny Rollins
Max Roach
Eric Dolphy
Charles Mingus
Wayne Shorter
Harry Connick Jr
Johnny Hartman
Grant Green
Bill Evans
Oliver Nelson
Herbie Hancock
Hank Mobley
Hip Hop
Wu-Tang Clan (w/ solo albums and affiliates)
Mobb Deep
Nas
Tupac
Notorious BIG
Eminem
Dr. Dre
Snoop Dogg
Xzibit
Big Pun
The Roots
De La Soul
Outkast
Tribe Called Quest
Black Star
Common
Fugees
Lauryn Hill
Ice Cube
NWA
Digable Planets
Various Soundtracks
Rock and Blues
Beatles
Stones
Who
Zeppelin
Steely Dan
Moby Grape
Jimi Hendrix
Beck
Paul Simon
Traffic
Van Morrison
The Band
Bob Dylan
Lil Ed and the Blues Imperials
Alligator Records sampler
Pink Floyd
I’m probably missing a lot here.
Now, when I look at that list, I don’t generally think, “Gee, what a diverse collection of music!” Frankly, if you take three of the jazz artists out (Threadgill, Connick, Hunter), it’s all 50s/60s Blue Note type stuff (basically). My rap collection falls into the 92-99 range pretty exclusively, even though I don’t stick to one geographic region. And although Black Star and Common might technically be “underground” compared to some of the others, those were albums that still sold pretty well. And then if you’re excluding the blues artists, Paul Simon, and Beck, that’s all straight-forward classic rock.
I’m sure I missed more than a handful of artists doing this off the top of my head, but there you go. It’s absolutely true to say I have a unique appreciation for some types of music most don’t, but to say I’m really diverse is probably a fallacy.
