Every post seems to bring forth an ever longer and more obscure list of bands no one has heard of or really cares about. No need I'm sure you're all cool dudes. This need to show how far on the fringes you really are is not required unless you're still at college.
Someone must like the Beatles, Dire straights and U2 because they sell more in a week than most of these bands combined sell, ever!
So I'll start, I quite like the Bee Gees!
Nothing to do with oneupmanship from me, I just get bored very quickly and a band needs to be reinventing itself regularly - having got itself on my radar in the first place - to keep my attention. That's not an issue with new bands as they are new and untested. That and what Bones said, I came fully into music as a part of the 2-Tone generation, but never followed the charts after that. I prefered to find new bands that were following in The Specials footsteps, which after 30 years has led to a very wide range of modern bands from the very punk Eat/Defeat through to the pure reggae of The Skints and taking in everything offbeat in the middle. Rock doesn't interest me, there has always seemed to be too much on volume over talent (some are good, but a lot seem not to be - I'm not going to argue the toss, you'll think my tastes are awful too!), pop is too 'targeted' etc etc.
I know what I like at the end of the day, but I don't see the need to listen to the same bands endlessly.
God is nothing more than an imaginary friend for grown ups.
