Default Is Damien your favourite artist?

I mean, of all time?

If you voted no, who is? Just curious

I don't know, favourite is a big word. Sonic Youth, Tom Waits and The Velvet Underground make their presence felt quite a bit. I don't know though.

I'll also jump on Rai's Bresson bandwagon.

Wow, Bumpman, that really reinforces the "retro hipster" identify you've tried to carve for yourself

As for me, I definitely prefer Nick Drake over Damien. His guitar playing is better. His singing is better. His music is better. His lyrics are better. Damien is a better showman, I dare presume. I also prefer Simon and Garfunkel.

Edit: Well, if you include rock artists, I prefer the Floyd and Sigur Rós.

damien rice and band are incredible and touched me in a special area that i hadnt been touched in a long time, it felt really good. and i came back for more. but i could say alot of other people have touched me in the same area alot more, some of it felt better and some of it hurt

all in all i like the area they touch. damiens touch ranks up there but not quite all that.
