So what do you listen to?

Recommended Posts

Moderators, you're welcome to move this to chit-chat if you want...

...BUT now knowing what many do for a living, what some of you look like, and what many of you ride, how about sharing what your favourite music/song/band is?

 

I am a huge Depeche Mode devotee, though I have a wide range of other (lesser) music that I listen to as well.  I do however like dark stuff with meaning, more than just silly mindless tunes.

 

On the bikes hardtrance, techno and dance is what I torture my ears with.

 

My favourite track of all times is "My ruin", by a band called "Terror".

 

So how about the rest of you then?

Strong Persuader!

 

There's a very nice John Lee Hooker album (Mr Lucky, I think) where JLH does songs with all manner of other blues guitarists, including a collaboration with Robert Cray.  One of the sweetest bits in the album is JLH, at the end of the track saying "Thank you, Robert!"
