Music taste: MUSE are my favourite band because I've grown up listening to them as their career's progressed. For some nice statistics go to WWW.LAST.FM/JAROCK87 but as an overview I've always enjoyed early (92-94) BRITPOP and all of its influences (Stone Roses, Cardiacs, MBV, Joy Division etc.), love Radiohead and bands/artists in a darker ilk like Martin Grech, iLiKETRAiNS. For heavier stuff I either go for some BRITISH ALT. PUNK stuff like McLusky, Future Of The Left or hit American shores for the likes of QOTSA and the PROG of Mars Volta, Cursive, Coheed & Cambria and more. Staying with America I'm really enjoying some of the stuff from the likes of The National, Band Of Horses, Arcade Fire, Annuals, The Dears and co.. Back here I'm venturing into the world of SINGER SONGWRITER and this ELECTRO-INDIE malarkey with Foals and suchlike. Really not a fan of Arctic Monkeys and the scene that's followed them although I do like The Cribs. Finally I'm a big fan of POSTROCK from 65daysofstatic, Explosions in the sky, god is an astronaut et al. Surrounding all of this is bits of DRUMNBASS/ELECTRONICA, JAZZ AND CLASSICAL.
Anything else?: Yes.
