Dire Straits

I know that you tried to slip that one into the middle, thinking that we wouldn't notice...

For me I am mostly listening to My Chemical Romance at the moment but I am also liking Jamie T. That range should give you an idea of the spread of music which I like, I could have included Bright Eyes, Red Hot Chillis, Green Day, Weezer, maybe a little Aerosmith Hendrix, Manics, Nine Inch Nails, QOTSA, RATM, Radiohead (natch), Talking Heads, The Who (again, natch), Black Crowes, CKY, Fall Out Boy, Clapton (he is, after all, God), and of course Wolfmother... missing uot several in between....

Former Member

From my facebook:

Pink Floyd, Ramones, Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, The Clash, The Doors, The Pixies, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Bright Eyes, Interpol, Arcade Fire, Kasabian, Sigur Rós, Bloc Party, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Sex Pistols, Joy Division, Lou Reed, Stiff Little Fingers, System Of A Down, Rage Against The Machine, Kraftwerk, Prodigy, Felix Da Housecat, LCD Soundsystem, Soulwax, Vitalic, Daft Punk!

I would say my favouritistists musicians of all time are Kraftwerk.
