Musically speaking....

...what do we all like? Who are your top 10 bands/ artists? We're a pretty diverse group on here so there will probably be variety in the answers. To get it rolling, here are my top 10 (although only the top three are in order)

1. The Smiths/ Morrissey (slight cheat I know...)
2. The Cure
3. Rolling Stones

4. Velvet Undergound/ Lou Reed (another two-choices-in-one I know!)
5. Pixies
6. Pink Floyd
7. Smashing Pumpkins
8. The Godfathers
9. Neil Diamond
10. Girls Aloud

I reserve the right to change this list depending on how much more beer I have had.

Good thread, a bit difficult to choose just 10, so I gave it the Desert Island Disc deep thought. I`d be happy to be castaway indefinately with... and in no particular order :-

Morcheeba
Groove Armarda
The Orb
Cowboy Junkies
Faithless
Leftfield
The Pink Floyd... tho` that`s like the bible and Shakespere, so I should get them any way

Eagles
Jack Johnson
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

Regards, Mike.

Edit, that`s only 9

+ Lamb.

it really depends what sort of mood i am in and what company i have.

its alot easier for me to say what i don't like listening to as i'll happily listen to just about anything other than motown, Elvis Presley or most forms of opera

Excellent ...apart from cars, my favourite subject....

Some good one's listed. Mr Pharm - great selection!

Music, I think, is like food - sometimes you want egg and chips, sometimes you want nouvelle cuisine and sometimes your own body weight in Pringles.

I can't possibly do an order.... however 10 fab musicians I hold dear... off the top of my head;

Tom Waits
Chilli Peppers
Radiohead
Rufus Wainright
Jeff.....Buckley
Billy Joel....yes.... but only early stuff
Muse
Yola Tengo
Elbow
Aqualung

Oh and this up and coming band are quite good only amateur, they just play in their spare time... but good fun stuff.

Some very clever (or indeed not so clever) marketing people would be able to deduce from our musical tastes that the profile of the average DDK member is likely to be 35-45, male, good income, well educated etc......and clearly we are all very handsome, considerate, respectful, don't forget our partner's birthdays, great with kids etc etc
