What artists can you not get enough of?

@immatthewj 

We are already aquainted through my post on the adverse effects of recording artists and has offered up the best reply so far to this new subject…..A really comprehensive and heartfelt answer to the OP @tomcarr 

I am not exactly sure what you are saying there, @mylogic , but what I was intending to convey is that any more it is not so much artists that I cannot live without, but certain CDs.  I would probably list in no particular order of preference:  Darkness On The Edge Of Town/Springsteen, Blood On The Tracks/Dylan, Trinity Sessions and Whites Off Earth Now/Cowboy Junkies, Simple Dreams/Ronstadt, Excitable Boy/Zevon, Fire And Rain/Jacintha, Running On Empty/Jackson Browne, Cafe Blue and Modern Cool/Barber,  Sweet Old World/Lucinda, Train A Coming and I Feel Alright/Earle and probably quite a few more.  

But I don’t know that I am any longer obsessed with any artists.  .  

On edit:  I suppose I would add Guitar Town/Steve Earle and possibly The Ghost Of Tom Joad/Springsteen to the cannot live without list.  I’d say Born To Run/Springsteen because the song writing is just so great, but the reason I wouldn’t put it on my list is that I do not do vinyl and I just have not found a digital copy that has very good SQ (at least not in my room on my system).  I might add The Wild The Innocent And The E-Street Shuffle/Springsteen to my list, simply for the  song Incident On 57th Street.  At one time Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde On Blonde/Dylan would have made my cannot live without list, but probably not right now.   I think I might add Lucinda’s self titled and her Happy Woman Blues to my cannot live without list, and I will also say that Black Eyed Man/Cowboy Junkies was once on that list, and after further thought, I’d keep it there, but if I could ever find a better SQ digital copy, I'd jump all over it.

Smokey Robinson/ The Miracles, Otis Redding, James Brown & some more James Brown And The Flames, Al Green, Sam Cook, Solomon Burke, Ray Charles, Al Wilson, Lou Rawls, Bill Withers, Earth Wind and Fire. Enjoy the music

. . . and my apologies:  ’cannot live without’ and ’cannot get enough of’ are not synonimous criterias, and I had last responded as if they are.  

…currently, Antony and the Johnson’s, Ondata, Orville peck…and on permanent rotation, Nina Simone.

I probably should have explained that the range of dates represent for me when I felt a specific artist was either in their prime or in an artistic phase that specifically appealed to me. Miles Davis made great recordings throughout his career but it’s his late 60’s output that is in constant rotation for me.  I absolutely love “Blackstar” which was David Bowie’s final album and one of his best IMO, but view it at as an outlier looking at his post 1980 recordings. I love the Beatles, the Who, Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin etc but don’t play these artists as much today. I have diverse tastes in music and a collection of about 3,000 CDs. Limiting myself to any list was extremely difficult as I regretfully had to leave out a lot of artists I love and listen to frequently.
