errr, how can someone have around 80 'favourite' bands??? Surely the idea of having favourites is to narrow it down to the handful you like the most. I 'like' 30-odd bands, but my favourites, other than NO and related, are...

Tangerine Dream Depeche Mode Front 242 All About Eve Curve Jean-Michel Jarre Goldfrapp Kraftwerk Gary Numan

Wham!

Well, as I do not smoke (cigarettes qui font rire et qui relaxent) anymore, when I have an opportunity to smole one, the choice is quickly made...

So, here is a short list : Joy Division by winter nights... New Order until Technique... I feel I waste the stuff otherwise... Trisomie 21 Asylum Party Alain Bashung Erik Satie Maybe one more thing or two - depends on the mood And Kraftwerk with a very close friend of mine... lights off, lying on the sofa, Radioaktivität as loud as possible... (the trip is top as he has old devices of the 70's - I am always hypnotised by the old analogic peak values gauges)

And when I am fed up by neighbors' commercial radios, I put records of Front 242 on... Never lost a match, never had a complain...

JD Aerosmith Pearl Jam Crowded House Black Keys Stevie Ray vaughan BB King John Lee Hooker Albert King Bruce Springsteen Jeff Buckley Doves james taylor Def Leppard Otis Redding Aretha Franklin Annie Lennox Portishead Derek Trucks Band Robert Randolph & The Family Band

U2 and Pink Floyd.

Too obvious: Monaco Revenge The Other Two last but not least: Electronic

Not so obvious: Depeche Mode The Cure PSB (Take THAT, 60% of those who post on here ) Arcade Fire Antarctica The Killers Beck Gorillaz Daft Punk Chemical Brothers Air

Social Distortion Johnny Cash The Smiths Morrissey The Cure JD doves Interpol The Clash Chris Isaak Audioslave Dead Kennedy's DepecheMode John Coltrane Los Lobos Oingo Boingo Radiohead Rancid Tool

Just to name a few

JHC

Boomtown Rats. they only had about two songs.

errr....make that one.

And Dexy's Midnight Runners had how many hits? I think the Boomtown Rats are a hit factory compared to them. Don't get me wrong, Come on Eileen is one of my favorite songs of all time, though.

Dexys Midnight Runners? Good grief.

:bag:

Newer bands I've been listening to are Hot Chip, Pipettes, Lily Allen, Cut Copy, and I like that song by the Klaxons. Overall big fan of the fall, smiths, and the libertines amongst others

Exluding JD and NO relations: The Pogues, Sigur Ros, Gang of Four, Magazine, Wire, Front 242, Pinback, Dead Kennedys.

Recently I've been listening to alot of Say Hi to Your Mom (awful name, great music).

Okey dokey, before I go to bed - need to wake up at 9am to buy a Bournemouth ticket (!), here we go:

Orbital The Orb A Guy Called Gerald 808 State (& Biting Tongues/Toolshed/Homelife) The KLF Pixies Wedding Present The Fall Chemical Brothers Underworld Prodigy Faithless Bent Lemon Jelly Ulrich Schnauss Bomb The Bass Finley Quaye Lamb Massive Attack Mylo

and many, many, many more - currently attempting to feed around 1,000+ CD's into my computer to try and decide what to put on my iPod - it's going to take a LONG time!
