And RIP Robbie Robertson.

I know . We could probably do a top 100 and it would still be difficult.

I am a believer in revealed preferences, so I went to my Spotify account and looked at who I listened to the most. There were a lot of solo acts/bands, but I listed the bands I listen to the most, that must, therefore, be my favorites.

I think the The is appropriate in those choices. The only The I'm against is the one folks put in front of OSU.

+1 for Paul Westerberg. Were you into Wilco or Son Volt at all?

I could add and subtract from my list, but I just went for it and chose to play the game.  If it were singers instead of bands, my list would be different.

Wilco fan. So, so on Son Volt.

If you are a Westerberg fan, check this out: 

 

He sold it for download for 49 cents in 2008. It is a single track, but many people have published "track" lists for it.

Two of my favorites: Visiting Day at 10:40 and Devil Raised A Good Boy at 14:28
