Favourite Artists

I like quite a mix of music and different styles. I’m not a fan of pigeon-holing myself. I listen to everything from alt-rock, folk, metal, reggae, punk to country, blues, jazz, and various other things in between. I don’t listen to pop, as it’s soulless pap. I’m not much into R&B, Drum and Bass, or anything else you’d hear whilst clubbing. Some people like it, but I don’t.

My reckoning is there’s no such thing as a ‘bad’ song. It’s just whether you like it or not. I think a band could record four minutes of a single note being played over and over, and somebody out there would like it.

My list of ‘favourites’ tends to change depending on what mood I’m in, and what I’m currently obsessing over. I have favourites I always come back to though. Mainly:

• Barenaked Ladies
• Vanity Project
• Guster
• Foo Fighters
• Fountains of Wayne
• Dixie Chicks
