The favourite thing played in terminal oncology wards where there is no hope except for hospice style care is Mrs Mills. After a few hours they pass away,either eager to move on to avoid her or just to submit to the inevitable, where the music is worse than the suffering.

ThirdDrawerDown Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Quote I'd be phoning Beyond Blue and/or Lifeline if I did that much listening to Bob. Actually, no, this much Bobness is fine. As the man with a suitcase of Bob boots said: "I just played them in the background, and then suddenly something would leap out with sheer brilliance. Maybe just one track in a show, or one outtake, but simply brilliant. So it was easy to listen to the whole suitcase of CDs." Currently listening to "Ballad of a Thin Man" London, 1966. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RankStranger Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Bill Frisell the amount and diversity of stuff he’s been involved with in addition to his vast body of solo work would keep me going for a good long while. would still get bored eventually, though. I’m almost 44 so I’ve still got several weeks to live, at least 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said. Or Keith Jarrett Or even Ken Vandermark who at the age of 45 had released more than 120 albums, led 36 different bands of his own (each one for a different project) and is still producing at least half a dozen albums every year. But you have to have some decades of listening to jazz before you even warm up to him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripitaka Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Great thread question and a brilliant set of responses I suspect one can't really listen to a single artist on heavy rotation, to the exclusion of all other music, for more than a few months without going mad. I think one's best hope is an artist that crosses as many different genres/styles as possible. But of course, nobody crosses 'em all, which I would require for eternity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wen Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Steven Wilson, when you look at all the remastering he has done of other bands, Porcupine Tree, No-Man, solo albums and colaborations, his range and styles of music 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrkropotkin Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I've been playing Linda Rondstadt for decades non stop...it helps she sang with lots of others as well as the Nelson Riddle orchestra 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warweary Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Despite that I listen more to St Germain and Massive Attack these last few years, I would still choose Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd has a huge discography spanning decades and varieties of music and instruments and vocals, significant video catalogue and cartoon/picture artwork. That'd keep me going, assuming I could afford it all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
