Eclectic Tastes

[carreg_cennen]

OK Just a bit of fun but who thinks they have the most eclectic taste in music ? - here's My list of likes/ Clashes currently featuring on my phone's media player in order of distance apart on the musical spectrum and the (probable)  winner of the clash listed first

 

Modestep - Christy Moore

 

RTJ - Lulu (undecided but think Lulu is still in with an outside chance)

 

Motorhead (not actually on my phone but planning to see them for a laugh) - Jungle

 

Bare Knuckle Parade - Dub Pistols

 

The Who - Chemical Brothers

James Bay v. The Cribs

Flo + her machine v. Proclaimers

Sleaford Mods v. George Ezra

Fat White Family v. Lionel Richie

The Fall v Weller?

When I talk to friends and colleagues my taste seems pretty eclectic, when I read these forums it feels pretty mainstream.  Respect to all the posters who highlight interesting new stuff to listen to.

Same, several posters whose taste I respect had said good things about them for a while, come about December time I checked them out on youtube and was instantly taken with their sound.  Over the last few years this forum has introduced me to as much new music as the radio or any other source.

Agree totally with this, I have seen so many great performances, not only at glasonbury but elsewhere also, thanks to suggestions made on this forum.

 

Oh, and not forgetting Brave Sir Robins epic playlist.

Can't see anyone beating gonzo in this competition.

May as well enter a sprint against mr bolt for I'd have the same chance of winning.

Gonzo?? did I miss him on the Billing ?

Modestep - Christy Moore <<< ----

This one is the real heartbreaker and wife is going to see Christy he's a total legend, but I couldn't bring myself to miss Modestep - If you've never heard Christy Before check out 'Ride on' - one of my top five favorite songs ever .
