Oh same! I have the most eclectic music tastes. I can go from Motown to metal in a few songs.

I think this is one of the weaknesses of streaming, as much as I use it all the time.

I used to have a library of CDs, and vinyl records. I'd go look at them on the shelves and spot something I'd not listened to for ages.

I don't have those reminders anymore, the Radio is ok for the odd jog, but even 6Music does not get down all the rabbit holes my musical tastes have taken me to over the years.

My memory is just not good enough on it's own to think of some of these artists.

I agree! With so much unlimited music at our fingertips we forget about the old ones plus there’s nothing better than a proper vinyl record.

Russ Ballard - he writes some catchy stuff. Didn't realise he originally wrote "Since You've Been Gone?"

Billy Squire - very similar sound to Robert Plant. Great guitarist - very underated. Sounds like the spit of Plant in places. He's got a great catalogue of stuff.

If you want to hear a group that were good in the 80’s but now have improved with each album, Swing out Sister. Still going and making some great music.

Tonight I’ll be listening to Everything but the Girl as I love Tracey Thorn her song ‘By Piccadilly Station I sat Down and Wept’ is a personal favourite.

Had 13th Floor Elavators debut and Jefferson Airplane's Surrealistic Pillow spinning this morning, followed by The Byrds Turn, Turn, Turn.

Then early Genesis Foxtrot, some Yes and Steve Hillage's Motivation Radio.

Now it's Ultravox! Debut Ultravox! Then it's going to be Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures and Caberet Voltare's Red Mecca.

If you want a plant/Led Zepp sound alike, give Greta Van Fleet a whirl.

Just random playlist I made up on Spotify.

But I was torturing kids with 90s music and singing along yesterday. They need to know my old time favourites.

They didn't like Whitney Houston. I hope she didn't turn in her grave.

After taking singing lessons for over a year it is strange

listening to him sing.

He uses a strsnge back of the throat technique thst clearly sits comfortable with him.

Unfortunately I dont agree his a good singer marvin gaye now his voice is cracking. Ising his tiny bits of distortion in the right places and vibrato in others perfect control
