If you were stuck on a deserted island and coulc only listen to 4 artist music, who would you choose?
Me: Third Eye Blind, Matchbox Twenty, Goo Goo Dolss, and Good Charlotte.
Dayseeker
Killswitch Engage
Flaw
Fair to Midland
I can only think of 2 that would count that I wouldn't be cheating: They Might Be Giants and Weird Al. If it's their full discography and any other releases they've done, that's already way too much music for me to ever listen to in my lifetime with my listening habits.
I would love to cheat with something like Hatsune Miku, but that wouldn't be fair considering it's tons of people using software to create songs with that specific voice rather than a single singer/band performing.
I cannot think of anyone else I listen to with nearly as expensive of a list of music as TMBG or Weird Al, so I'd probably end up going to the next best thing: Jam Hsiao. He's got a lot of music, so I'd have a lot to choose from. Choice would be the spice of life for me.
Absolutely no clue for the 4th, so I'd probably pick a group that I like at least a couple of their songs and think they have a large amount of music: Meat Puppets.
In the end, due to their probably high song count, these would probably be my top picks right now.
I think artists with variety in their sound would be good. So I'd go: Lady Gaga David Bowie Blur Queen.
However, I'd consider the Beatles, Madonna, radiohead and muse. It's funny. These aren't all necessarily artists I would put on to listen to day to day.
Agreed. Any list without Bowie is just objectively wrong. It's like cheating, with 7 artists that only count as one.
Can't believe so many people said Pink Floyd! I'm not even sure who I'd pick for #2. Floyd's really old stuff is like a different band.
Tally Hall
Femtanyl C418, actually. Listening to Femtanyl on a deserted island would drive me insane, lol.
Jack Stauber
Will Wood
MF DOOM, Buckethead, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Deftones
Jean-Michel Jarre
Mike Oldfield
Alan Parsons
Pink Floyd
At the gates, com truise, mf doom, amon tobin
Wow. Someone else knows about com truise. In that case take a listen to Gunship. Especially their second album.
Thanks I'll check them out, that was my chill/nostalgia electronic spot runners up would probably be bonobo or boards of Canada

Do we get access to their entire back catalogues?
Assuming so:
But ask me tomorrow and I'd probably have at least 3 different answers! 😁
Yes everything back and new releases.
Cool. I better hope Underworld keep releasing new stuff then... 😁
La Roux, Weird Al, Queen, Billy Joel
Lady Gaga, Ed Sheeran, Kenny Rogers, Whitney Houston
I'm assuming I get their full archive of music.
Yes everything. Nice throwing Kenny Rogers in there.
Queen Pink Floyd Dire Straits Sting/Police
The Black Keys, Megan Thee Stallion, Hozier, Lil Nas
Mmm.
Stevie Wonder, Jamiroquai, El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico and Donna Summer.
What a difficult task! 😅
Man, OP is having the longest stroke ever. It's not only the title, every reply they've made is so broken. I don't understand how someone would be so unable to use basic spelling and grammar.
Perhaps not a native English speaker? I'm not sure if OP edited the title, but it seems readable to me, with only a minor typo ("coulc" instead of "could"), and "artist" instead of "artists' ". Of course, "which artists would you choose?" may be a better way to phrase the question itself.
"If you where stuck on a deserted island and coulc only listen to 4 artist music, who would you choose?" is not that hard to read. I have not seem their replies, though.
Bach - Seems obvious
Gojira - They don't have a bad song, only more and less great.
Lorn - The electronic sound of a plea for help
And this one band I've followed for years that keeps making all kinds of experimental stuff: Various Artists
Gonna cheat and say Alan Menken since he's responsible for many of the animated songs I grew up with. Then I'd probably go with Ne-Yo, Odesza, and then Yiruma. All have different vibes so that should be enough for every occasion.
So far, I think I'd visit OP's island over anybody else's.
Mine would be Weird Al, Vengaboys, Dua Lipa and Barenaked Ladies.
Thanks for the compliment. Visiting island is interesting idea. I have no clue who I would visit.
Sevendust, Yellowjackets, The Cure, Mozart this would be enough variety for me…
John, Paul, George, and Ringo.
That is "4 artist" music, aka a quartet.
OP. Why don't you like trios, duos or soloists? Why exclude the Jackson 5 and New Kids on NSync? Is it the 'Mmm' or the 'Bop' ya hate? Why give up on Rick Astley when he's never gonna give you up?
Grouplove, Die Ärzte, They Might Be Giants, Babymetal.
Definitely They Might have Giants just due to the sheer amount of music they've done over the years. Even if you don't like them, you'll probably end up finding a least one song from their vast catalog you can enjoy.
Down with Webster, Hollywood Undead, Tech Nine, and Eminem.
My wife chose Eminem as well.
Ling tosite sigure, Asian Kung Fu Generation, Kendrick Lamar, and Kid Cudi.
Would love to get some electronic music represented in there but I can’t think of any one artist whose music I really love. Maybe Blue Sky Black Death or M83.
Ling tosite sigure
Nice. I checked them out a while back bc of TK's anime song, and they're solid. I should check them out again.
Incognito, Meshuggah, Haken, and Buckethead (just because the dude has like 3000+ songs)
....uh ... that's really all I need... I guess if you forced me to pick another artist I'd pick Underworld just so I could play Born Slippy if I ever got rescued...
System of a Down, Perfect Circle, Tool, Sublime.
Really hard pick, and not necessarily my top 4 bands, but they are the ones I couldn't go without for sentimental reasons.
Nine Inch Nails, Bowie, King Gizz, the Beatles.
Oughtta give me plenty to work with
That great list and definitely interesting listening you have.
Thanks haha. Tried to go with artists with expansive discographies that could keep me entertained for a while
I'd rather have even just one podcast with massive library of episodes over all the music in the world.
Which podcast? Choose 4.
Modern Wisdom, Making Sense, The Joe Rogan Experience and The Jordan Harbinger Show.
Where is the music coming from?
Do i get updated releases?
From where? The internet?
Can i use that connection for other things?
Where is the power for the playback system coming from?
Can i use that power for other things?
Cmon man it clearly says you can ONLY listen. Enjoy your music while you die of exposure and thirst.
