    90% of what I listen to is rock, AC/DC being my favourite, and I really like blues and jazz as well, I just love hearing a good trumpet or guitar solo. I'll also listen to and enjoy most styles of music, except rap and really poppy pop music. My favourite song is usually the one I'm listening to, and when I'm driving I usually just chuck on the local rock music station.

    The Brought Low. Words cannot describe how mind-blowingly, pants-crappingly awesome this band is, and they're releasing a new record in March. Of course, bear in mind that the artists that usually top my listening charts are AC/DC and Foghat, as well as Lynyrd Skynyrd when I need to listen to some serious music.

    I'll list my top 5 all time album, in no particular order.

    1. The Stone Roses, The Stone Roses.

    Probably the finest indie album ever with, IMHO, no weak tracks.

    2. The Private Press, DJ Shadow.

    An ecelectic album full of of many different genres, all expertly mixed and produced by Josh Davies.

    3. Come get it, I got it - David Holmes

    Another DJ produced album with some of the finest Funk tracks ever recorded. I had most of these tracks played at my wedding.

    4. Jurassic 5, Jurassic 5

    The album I play for people who say they don't like rap. Great tunes and witty, observant raps.

    5. Let's Knife, Shonen Knife

    Insane Japanese punk rock that's great for the car. Sample lyrics:-

    We're only making plans for da da dirty dirty bison
    We don't like him so much, 'cause he's very ug-ug-ugly
    We're only making plans for da da dark brown bison
    He has a right to live though he's ill ill ill-shaped
    He's on the way to extinction
    We only want what's best for him

    Genius.
