Personal Favourites:

Apart from the bands currently on my list, I listen to almost everything across the musical spectrum. Funnily enough, ageing into my 30s has increased my curiosity rather than diminish it; so no Celine Dion and other thirty-something traps. In fact, the more "left of the dial", the better.

Wants:

In general, I'm always looking for guitar sounds, power-pop bands, 80s post-punk indie bands. Email me with your list. In particular, I'm looking for:
