I'd like to think my taste in music exceeds even the most avid music lovers.

P.S. Love you Rick! <3 <3 <3

 

I cant keep it to just 20 because there are much more, so i choose the genre, but in that order:

1. Oldschool 80´ = rap(hip hop), electronic, pop
2. Oldschool underground = ´90 electronic
3. 60´ music
4 70´ music
5. 50´ music

 

Why not 'top-five' as in 'High Fidelity' by Nick Hornby?
Anyway, here I go..Love such lists

1. Depeche Mode (mostly the albums with Alan Wilder 1983-1993. I'm not so happy with the last tour and behavior of the band)
2. The Beatles
3. Prince
4. The Police
5. GusGus
6. Bjork
7. Queen
8. Recoil (Alan Wilder)
9. Front 242
10. Kraftwerk
11. Röyksopp
12. Air
13. Soulsavers (Dave Gahan)
14. Gary Numan (Happy Birthday!) / Tubeway Army
15. ELO
16. Rammstein
17. Kim Wilde (when I was a teenager)
18. Die Ärzte
19. Yello
20. Züriwest

 

In no particular order:

Pink Floyd
Nirvana
Faith No More
The Doors
Led Zeppelin
Radiohead
Portishead
John Frusciante
Nine Inch Nails
Queen
Smashing Pumpkins
Sonic Youth
Alice in Chains
Underworld
Massive Attack
Beatles
Elliott Smith
Silversun Pickups
Black Sabbath
U2

 

Totally agree! Although I also love the album "ULTRA" (its no.3 in my Depeche Mode Top Album List).
I have a suspicion...Since Martin and Dave emmigrated to the States and Martin decided to do his teeth, their music became boring and less
innovative....Call me stupid, but I think the dreariness and hopelessness in the 80ies in GB and Berlin was much better for Martins creativity than the ever shining sun in California.
In these days, tickets are much to expensive, the tours are too long, the locations are too big, the music is to minimal (Alans deep arangements are missing)....for me every song sounds more like a demo than like a finished song. ARGH...Alan come back!

 

In no particular order, and I had to add a couple more for good measure. Shake, pour on ice and enjoy.

1. Neil Young
2. Bob Dylan
3. Pink Floyd
4. Led Zep
5. The Grateful Dead
6. Radiohead

13. Bob Marley and the Wailers
14. Jimi Hendrix
