Richard's Top 10 Music Artists for 2010 (Jan - Jun)
According to last.fm, these were the artists I listened to the most in the first half of this year. It's not completely accurate, as not all of what I listen to flows through Last.FM's Audioscrobbler. But it's good enough.
I have had big Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix benders this year. Miles more so in the first few months and Jimi in the past few months (if you add together #2 and #10, then Jimi is only a bit behind Miles). Both were incredibly inventive musicians, each with a unique individuality that was and still is incomparable. Ironically though, both were very similar artists. I's aplenty.
Wilco is at number 3, a) because they are a great band and eclectically brilliant, and b) because I saw them play live in Wellington earlier this year. Band of Skulls (#6) is another band I saw live, in Austin at SXSW - I saw them twice.
