Blimey! There's so many! But my all time favourite would have to be Pink Floyd. Seen them live and have just about everything they've ever done including solo stuff. Love 'em!

Strangely the solo stuff for me is very obvious - Gilmour's Living on an Island - while i have it its does'nt push all the buttons - maybe as some of you actually play ( very jealous) you have a more focused view - i have every Floyd album although i have to say that i only started at Relics - and had to get the earlier ones - DSOTM blew my mind as a 13 year old yuff - i heard it first on Nicky Horn's capital radio on launch - its still my No 1 album and that has'nt changed in 45 years

It is a great album.

My brothers were both into Pink Floyd from the very off and especially liked Syd Barrett.

Some of PF's later albums are a bit duff, but some are very good.

How can a Beatles tribute band be anyone’s favourite band.

Fuck me! How did I leave Blue off my list?! Best festival performance I've ever seen at Glastonbury 2009 (I think!)
Left LCD Sound system off my list as well No way you can narrow it down to one band @bringbackrattles !!!

I loved Oasis. Always will. Might not be a popular opinion but Blur were better. They make better cheese too.

Specials. The Clash. Queen. Meatloaf....More recent Coldplay.

Don't like Another Brick in the Wall at all. The Final Cut. a Pink Floyd album in all but name only. A Momentary Lapse of Reason.

The final two albums you’ve mentioned there were before and after the bands self destruction so there we never going to be great. The final cut is great of course as Roger waters says so

Yep, know all this. It was all very fractious and shows.

Mon the biff

On the band thing, it would be interesting to know how your kids' tastes differ from your own, or whether they align at all.

Quite lucky with my daughter. She's 14 and loves Muse, Elbow, Grandaddy, Foo Fighters, Twenty One Pilots, the Wombats, Two Door Cinema Club and now Editors.

She does also listen to a little bit of crap, but on the whole is an indie kid.

To pick one is extremely tough! The three I keep going back to time and time again are Oasis, Shed Seven and GnR. If I had to choose out of them it would be the Sheds as I keep seeing them live each year!

Anyway the answer is Hawkwind obviously - my one regret at not being older is I could not witness the space ritual tour of 1972

I take my two daughters 22 and 26 on a holiday every year. We usually do a 350 mile road trip, so we have plenty of time for music. Before we go we each make a playlist, then on the journey we alternate each other's songs, so we all get to hear each other's music. I usually like about 90% of what my daughters play. And usually I find they have 'stolen' a few songs from my previous playlists. And I certainly steal some songs from their playlists; usually artists I had never heard of before. So listening to other people's favourite music is good. You might hear something you like you never would have known about otherwise.

I guess im stuck in a timewarp, but love reo speedwagon.

The Specials
Spatial AKA

U2 oasis & madness

I like them too, but they are not my favourite.

On Planet Rock tonight one of the hairy bikers on their show said a year ago his missus bought him a ticket to see Joe Bonamassa in concert. He said he was great but the ticket was £200.00 and thought no performer is worth that. No way would I pay that !

God no. I liked him in Black Country Communion and that’s it

I can't fight this feeling any more that I agree with you.

Sex Pistols,Madness,Stone Roses and Oasis Cant split them they are the bands I listen to the most!

Yeah so hard to single out just one
Have I ever mentioned on here it has to be Richard Ashcroft first
Then secondly the Verve
Tickets booked to see him again Oct 29 Rock City Nottingham
Two Albums in the two years
It's like the waiting game bus analogy!

First and foremost, the manic street preachers. I got into them just after everything must go came along. Then discovered their back story and Richey has always fascinated me. The Holy Bible is an incredible piece of art. I read every word of every song in the inlay absolutely mesmerised that those words could be put together to make a melody.

Currently it's....Royal Blood.

Yeh Baby! Yeh!

bringbackrattles said:

I couldn't afford to pay that much even if he was my favourite artist. Although my ex missus was a big Tina Turner fan and I treated her to a ticket at the NEC about 20 years ago, and even back then I had to pay about £ 40.00 so not much difference really !

I was there. Bryan Adams supporting and Bowie sang a duet with her

It is a great record. Went off them though when they started introducing orchestras and becoming a lot more mainstream.

What I'm really afraid of, is when I need a nursing home, some young nursey git will decide we just want the Prodigy and the Shamen played incessantly at huge volumes around the building, as that's the kind of music we'd have all listened to when we were younger. The mid 21st century jazz, as it were.

Anyway, Magnum is the answer to the original question.

I love Prodigy and by the time you end up in a nursing home I'd be expecting you to be a twisted firestater anyway.
