[Live by the sea]

Roxy music , Queen & the Beatles are the 3 most influential bands on that list , so I would save those 3 . Not sure why Duran Duran aren’t on the list !

 

[Dick Head]

Black Lace
The Tweets
The Wurzels

 

[Pogue Mahone]

And so it begins. Personally I've never got the appeal of The Clash or the Arctic Monkeys.

That's obviously all well and good, music being entirely personal.

Those two bands were both in my top three, and I find it difficult to understand why others don't get them.

But that's OK, as I said music taste is entirely personal.

I'm not sure where the relevance of your comments were as a response to Mellotron's post, though.

Perhaps if I saved Joy Division and Blur, then New Order and Gorillaz would have a fighting chance?

 

[HantsSeagull]

Floyd
Smiths
Elbow (!)

 

[Official Old Man]

Without them most of the others wouldn't exsist.
