mungo jerry is the only musician worth his salt. (and james brown) but i'd be lying if i didn't admit that that dad gum townes van zandt ain't half bad either. and leonard cohen is a keeper along with roy orbison and ry cooder. other than that though, no one knows what's up. besides maybe like wu tang and de la soul as well as gangstarr and late nineties rap in general really. phosphorescent is very talented. jason molina and jeff tweedy / mangum are good too i guess. the zombies were a superb pop group but who could ever forget the wonderful talents of roger miller and even nancy sinatra. lee hazlewood kind of blows my mind a lot. television, gang of four, pop levi, bonobo, blockhead, tom waits, and the pogues do some things right. i like a lot of other athens groups besides phosphorescent too by the way... one of the best is some animal. mr. blind willie mctell and his friend mississippi john hurt did things before they were popular to do those things. (mostly involving drinking whiskey and playing music...) maxime le forestier is talented. lovin' spoonfull is great. i mean, i just like the sound of good music i guess. currently though, mungo jerry... nothing else. besides maybe like uncle tupelo or emmylou harris. okay, whatever, so johnny cash and willie nelson are solid too. devendra banhardt? rosebuds? bonnie prince billy? tony allen? yeah, them too. eddie novia is really good at playing the charango. datarock is so FUN y'all!!! i don't know any other band names.
