I subscribe to some archival listservs, and I know there was talk about some musuems being flooded, including one with a significant Jazz and Blues artifacts collection. People were going to try get permission and go in and salvage what they can.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Silence means security silence means approval
New topic: Bands whose sound is so ubiquitous that even if you'd never heard the song before you know who performed it.
And my first offering: Sleater-Kinney.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I have no idea what they sound like. AFAIK, the only song of theirs I've ever heard that I'm aware of was one on Lyra Jane's Buffista frankenmix CD, and it's been awhile, so I don't remember it.

Art Crawl!!!
I was going to say the Rolling Stones but there are so many imitators I'm not sure it's really safe to say that.

Dire Straits, maybe, because Knopfler's guitar style is so distinctive. And I agree about Steely Dan.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

If you mean distinctive, and not ubiquitous, there are a few prolific indie bands that I can always ID by the guitar sound: Greg Sage of The Wipers and Nick Saloman of The Bevis Frond come immediately to mind. Even when Nick helped Mary Lou Lord on her album with Sony, his guitar sound stood out.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Bowie has such a distinctive voice, even throughout all his genre's, you still recognise him.
