Well Joe, your username gives some indication to your age...I know a gentleman should never ask!
Me, I am a child of '72 so you have a couple of years on me but I guess we grew up in the same era musically.
Early 80's electronic I love, up until about '85 then it went a bit whishy washy.
Like you I like some alternative stuff, Placebo being one of them, they did a rendition of Kate Bush's Running up that hill, its one of my 'Desert Island Disc' dark.
So I guess you would deduce I like early Cure too, Cult. Modern stuff, no thanks, 90's well, I was a fan of Brit Pop in '95 when Britain was the center of the music scene again, if only briefly.
