Prince was awesome drugs have a lot to answers to. Too many great musicians fall to them. What a waste.

Me and my sister's were on about what would've been just beyond the 18 yard line on the pitch. Older sister is vertically challenged so I put her on my shoulders. BIG mistake, couldn't get her down for over an hour, nearly bloody killed me

I'm with @Jack Ratt, it all depends on my mood, and I too love YouTube. I can easily spend an evening on there, where one song can take you off in a totally different direction.
I had never heard of the Handsome Family until the first season of True Detective, the theme from that series is epic to me. Certain Country Rock artists I'm really into these days, high on the list is Eric Church. The Eagles (together or individually, are, were and always will be a favourite). Dark Side of the Moon because when I was at college everyone had a copy. Springstein another favourite and also because his songs feature in Church's recordings and live shows. (there was one in Panama City Beach in Florida around now and tickets were ONLY $700) Current favourite album, .Mr. Misunderstood - Eric Church. Favourite song, Sultans of Swing. so Best Band Dire Straits.
