I have some weird and wonderful tastes.
Definately a favourite band is Queen. I studied them in my high school music classes from a intrumentalist's point of view and was amazed as to what went into their compositions. I bought the greatest hits album - liked all the songs, and found one their first albums and wondered what they would have been like in the earlier days. I liked all those songs too. So.... over 3 years I have every album released of theirs.
I also like: Ben Folds Five, Cat Empire, Billy Joel, The Whitlams, ACDC, No Doubt, Harry Connick Junior, The Beatles, Robbie Williams, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Weird Al Yankovic, The Living End, The Allan Parsons Project, Jamiroquai, Taxiride, Anastasia, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Presidents of the United States of America, Kiss, Green Day, and the list goes on....
I like music that has a melodical line - meaning that its not just a beat and some guy rapping over it. I look for great bass lines, complex harmonies, and sometimes just something a little bit different.
Having a Brass band, Stage band and orchestral background I also like all those styles associated.
