Man! Are we even on the same planet? Out of that long list of 30 or so bands, I recognize 3, tops. I can recall just one, Ozzy Osbourne's 'Mama, I'm coming home'.
I'm more into Clapton, The Eagles, Kris Kristofferson, Dr. Hook, Harry Belafonte, Olivia Newton John (her earlier work, not the crap she churned out later), Anne Murray, Willie Nelson, Julio Iglesias, and the like.
Now that I've totally disgusted the lot of you, I shall retire from this discussion.
The Pixies, The Breeders, Sisters Of Mercy, The Cult, Sugar, The Cure (old stuff only), Pavement, Slayer, Nuclear Assault, Metallica, Maiden, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Love/Hate, to name but a few.
I have met Dave Mustaine of megadeth.
He wanted to buy my dads Harley about 10 years ago when he used to frequent my dads shop. He sent me an autographed picture of the band (headed To Shane).
My uncle is Robert Smith of The Cure’s Landscape gardener at Roberts UK home in Bognor Regis.
