I'm extremely surprised at the lists above, please note that I don't mean any criticism, only genuine surprise:

- Mostly rock acts: many more than R&B even though there's a fair deal of classic funk and even jazz acts as well, but u'd believe that fans are more R&B-oriented than rock and this is not the case.

- Mostly conservative: most of the acts are from the 60's to 80's.

- Mostly mainstream: lotsa big Top-10 names, much less underground acts. I expected more hipsters

- No love at all for electronic music, which also come as a surprise to me since u'd believe fans would love synths and machines but no, the electronic scene is quite ignored

This is a really interesting thread for, at least to me: it shows that the demographics is quite different from what I'd have expected

This supprised me also, I was expecting to be in the minority with most of my music favouties being hard rock/metal. but seemingly not!

Therapy? - Quite possibly ranking above Prince.

Skin (the band not Skunk Anansie singer)

Alice In Chains

Queens Of The Stone Age

Foo Fighters

EDIT - somehow I forgot The Subways

Although that is now 6.
