Siouxie & the Banshees, VNV Nation, Apoptygma Bezerk and Iris… ok, there are more, but I tried to limit it to four… although I really shouldn’t leave out Pink Floyd, Live, Garbage… okay, I’ll stop now, but really I could keep going. I love music! ---

Well Mysterecks…I’m closer to 30 than 40, and the Eagles are one of my all time favorites. Second to Eagles is Deep Purple. Also love the Moody Blues, Queen and Kiss. Guess I have a pretty broad range of music. everything from Beethoven to Ted Nugent. Depends on my mood, and for most bands…certain songs only. ---

Dead Can Dance “Dream on, my dear, and renounce temporal obligation” How many other bands out there even know what those last three words _mean_, much less used them all (or _any_ of them!) in the same sentence, in the same song 😛 After that, in no particular order: 1. Lisa Gerrard (after DCD broke up) 2. They might be Giants 3. Bach 4. Mozart 5. Vivaldi 6. Enigma 7. Black Tape for a Blue Girl 8. Loreena McKennit 9. Sarah Mclachlan 10. Chris Deburgh ---

In no order: Phish (Deer Creek-\>Polaris, here I come! Five shows, baby!) Dylan U2 (People bitch because their new stuff doesn’t sound like their old stuff. Would you rather they keep cranking out cookie-cutter albums into their old age?
