I feel like I replied to this a week ago, and a week before that, and all the weeks before that. It's like a plague, and normally I just copy/paste my answer from the most recent time I answered it.
Maybe I should just build some sort of device to post the same story over and over again whenever a question about 'favourite music' is asked... ;)

Dude I see our taste is much alike. Although I listen to a lot of todays music also, I preffer the older stuff. Just no heavy stuff for me, Can't handle it and if it's on around me it will have to die one way or the other...hehe

btw Never thought anyone still listened to Boney M though dude! You listen to any CC Catch from the 80's?

Ah yes The Riffs, not so hugely keen on them, they're OK though, thought I would share some of their amusing lyrics...

I'm going on a blind date,
I'm doing my friend a favour,
I hope she's not a horror,
I'll have to wait and see.

Slapping on the Old Spice,
Trying hard to look nice,
Got my tonic suit on,
Hope she fancies me.

She got out of the taxi,
She was a monster,
A total eclipse,
Of Sainsbury's.

Tattoos on her tattoos,
Muscles on her muscles,
She looked like the sister,
Of Idi Amin.

We're going to the pictures,
I didn't have any choice,
She put her arm around me,
Her grip was like a vice.

Sshh! Sshh! time.
Is that the time,
Is it really half past nine?
Sorry darling,
I'm gonna have to go.

I got to get to Wandsworth,
I'm meeting Terry Lawless,
Tonight I'm sparring with Frank Bruno.

She got out of the taxi,
She was a monster,
A total eclipse,
Of Sainsbury's.

Tattoos on her tattoos,
Muscles on her muscles,
She looked like the sister,
Of Idi Amin.

Geezer she's a monster,
She's really not that bad,
You must think that I'm joking,
You must think I'm mad.

I'll never take you word again,
You do what you like,
Going down the boozer,
I'll be there tonight.

I'm going on a blind date,
I'm doing my friend a favour,
I hope she's not a horror,
I'll have to wait and see.

Slapping on the Old Spice,
Trying hard to look nice,
Got my tonic suit on,

I have quite a broad taste in music and like things from most genres (except country, techno, rap). Here's what I'm listening to at the moment.

60s Ska & Skinhead Reggae: Prince Buster, Desmond Dekker, The Ska-talites, Toots & The Maytals, Harry J Allstars, Tony Tribe, Bob & Marcia, Dave & Ansil Collins, The Paragons, The Pioneers, Jimmy Cliff, Lord Tanamo, The Ethiopians, Symarip.

60s Soul & Motown: Aretha Franklin, Bob & Earl, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, Percy Sledge, Darryl Banks, The Olympics, The Parliaments, Eddie Floyd, Diana Ross & The Supremes, The Four Tops, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, The Foundations, The Promatics, James Brown, Edwin Starr, Dobie Gray (etc. etc. etc. there isn't much from this genre that I don't like)

2-tone Ska: Madness (early stuff), The Specials, The Selecter, Bad Manners etc. etc.

Lots of other stuff too, other bands I like include The Kinks, The Small Faces, The Who, The Beatles, The Troggs, Amen Corner, The Spencer Davies Group, Georgie Fame, Manfred Mann and more recent bands such as The Jam, The Clash etc. Some Britpop/Indie such as Pulp, early Oasis (but blimey they got boring), Blur, Ash, Radiohead, that sort of thing.

Also like some things that dwell at opposite ends of the spectrum, eg. Simon & Garfunkel, Black Sabbath.

Like I said, I like an eclectic mix. But I reckon the last time I liked anything 'current' was during the early '90s Britpop scene.

I am finally forced to ask. What the hell is ska?

Megabot and Moni- 10cc sucks! [img]tongue.gif[/img] "Like walking in the rain and the snow and theres" BANG (LoA falls dead from self-inflicted gunshot wound)

I guess it's all personal taste...I feel the same way about Journey that you feel about 10cc, but I see quite a few like the band. Oh well, different strokes for........

How about some Hall & Oates? There's a reason to kill yourself for sure!

I also remember The Atlanta Rhythm Section's "Champagne Jam" Not bad! Which other single did they release? I know they had two. [img]smile.gif[/img]

EDIT: Oh yeah SKA....um I think like No Doubt would be a form of ska. Correct me if I am wrong someone!
