Brigette Calls Me Baby
My other 4 pale into insignificance compared to these guys.

CaffeinatedSeagull · 30/08/2025 16:47

Depeche Mode
Fontaines DC
Pixies
Queens Of The Stoneage
Blur

macshoto · 30/08/2025 17:02

Queen
Dire Straits
Beautiful South (The)
London Grammar
Skerryvore or Nightwish (hard to choose)

While I do like the music of my youth, I also like the more musical modern bands, and then also have diverse musical tastes, including quite a lot of folk and Americana / World music.

Pickng a top 5 is very hard given the breadth of what I listen to. I just counted in my iTunes Music Library, I have 74 different artists/groups beginning with the letter ‘A’ alone.
