Ok, maybe I'm the only person on the planet that has never used Last.fm
So I'll try to break it down like this:
Bands/Artists I Either Have All Of Their Stuff, Have Much Of Their Stuff, Or Have All Their Stuff I Like And The Stuff I Don't Have It's For A Reason (Because They Went And Turned Crap Later On) :
U2, Radiohead, Underworld, Bloc Party, Pulp, Pearl Jam, R.E.M., Led Zeppelin, 70s and 80s Bruce Springsteen (+ Ghost of Tom Joad, The Rising and Magic), Peter Gabriel era Genesis, Steely Dan, Style Council, Pixies, The Smiths, Nirvana, The Cure, Depeche Mode, INXS, New Order, Tears For Fears, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Arcade Fire, Daft Punk, The Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Massive Attack, Tori Amos, Bjork, The Police, The Pretenders, The English Beat, LCD Soundsystem, Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis, Beastie Boys, Garbage, Prince, Nine Inch Nails, Doves, Weezer, Sigur Ros, Simple Minds, OMD, Duran Duran, Cut//Copy
Bands/Artists/Genres I'd LikeTo Hear/Explore More Of:
The Jam, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The New York Dolls, jazz, Frightened Rabbit, Why?, Eagles Of Death Metal, Wolf Parade, Weezer (anything after the "Green" album), 70s David Bowie, Bat For Lashes, The Whigs, Deerhunter, The Chromatics, New Young Pony Club, The Presets, Jimi Hendrix
Bands/Artists/Genres I Don't Like Or Don't Really Care For:
Red Hot Chili Peppers, singer/songwriter acoustic-y stuff (e.g. Jeff Buckley, Ryan Adams, The Decemberists, Elliot Smith, Conor Oberst, etc.), most rap (except some of the Top 40 hits), most reggae (except Bob Marley I do like), all country
, and I'm not into metal or black metal or prog metal (though I do like straight Prog Rock).
So, this is just a guideline from me.
Please feel free to make whatever kind of cd you wish for me. If it's all metal and country, I will still love it because it came from an Interferencer who put thought, time and effort into it. Feel free to use music I already have if it fits really well. Whatever you want; it's your gift to me.
Thank you!
