Our other favourite bands

[Dodfather]

Hi everyone,

So.. this is the first thread I've started on this section of The Ledge.

Since this is the chit chat part I thought it would be cool for us to know a bit more about each other if anyone is cool with that. So other than Fleetwood Mac and everyone associated with them, who are our other favourite bands?

I totally agree with John Cusack in High Fidelity when he says that you can tell a lot about a person by their music taste and that it's very important for starting conversations etc (in a non-judgmental way of course) so here goes my list of other favourites...

Oh, and that film of High Fidelity sucks - the book is amazing though!

Counting Crows
Emmylou Harris
Sheryl Crow
Carpenters (Karen was the best female pop singer ever in my opinion)
Bonnie Raitt
Ryan Adams
Matchbox 20
Beverley Knight
Neil Young
Kylie Minogue (all the way back from hear early late 80s stuff. You guys in the US missed SO much!)
Alison Krauss and Union Station
Pearl Jam
Steve Earle
Bruce Springsteen
Jackson Browne
Sara Evans
The Beatles
Dixie Chicks
Belinda Carlisle
Roxette
Sugarland
Linda Ronstadt (who has the same birthday as me - cool!)

Phew - I didn't mean to put so many! As you can see, bit of a country fan here, which can sometimes suck living in the UK!

Anyone else like many of the ones on that list? Looking at it I'm struck, as ever, by the fact of how un-British it is! I suppose I should add The Jam to help even it out!

Thoughts?

I may do a thread about favourite films and actors if this one goes well...
