I love RL Burnside. Have most of his records, as well as his most recent cd. All of his live recordings are worth every penny.

Gonna go with the obvious here: play 8-tracks?

I've been listening to dubstep the past couple days. It is sort of a guilty pleasure of mine. Sometimes I need something I can just veg out to and not have to think about.

I don't have a keen enough ear to really form an opinion of Dubstep. I can tell when a song is good (to my tastes) and when it's not. I don't usually like Skrillex, but every once in a while I will like songs that come on Pandora. Also, I've liked songs that he has done with Hip Hop artists. I have enjoyed AWOLNation and Bassnecter. But, from what I can tell, the Dubstep community regards them the same way that the Metal community regards bands like Nickelback, Seether, and Godsmack, which is terrible and untalented music for the masses.

"Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites" is a classic. I don't really know much of his work, but I loved the Spring Breakers soundtrack, which he did the score w/ Cliff Martinez. He also did "Wild For The Night" w/ A$AP Rocky which is killer.
