MUSIC ... what do you like?

Huge music fan.

My favourite artists being; The Smiths, Morrissey, Jeff Buckley, Interpol, HURTS, Performance, The Joy Formidable, The Chapman Family, The Hidden Cameras, etc etc

 

Before i came to France, i really didnt know much different kind of music while i was in China, i am Cantonese, so of course i like cantonese songs, But now I am big fan of Bee Gees , Frank Sinatra, Jacques Dutronc , i like Charles Trenet too, and pop music from 90's ,

 

Love The Stranglers only this week i posted a picture of me in 1977 at the rattus norvegicus tour on my face book

 

What a lovely voice ...

erm... Napalm Death, Venom, S.O.D to name but a few - most people won't class this as music, as the lyrics are more erm... grunts? lol Has to be as loud as possible too :D My older kids hate it that they like the same music

Also like everything from Classical to Bluegrass (Hayseed Dixie are cool), I suppose playing guitar and recently Banjo opens you up to a large variety of music...

Having played guitar for almost 30 years now, I recently discovered a style that I hadn't tried before - Flamenco! I love it, and I'd give my left hand to play like these guys:
