Wow a long list you've got there- I tend to go through obsessive phases with music- I will listen to all the albums of a particular band for a couple of weeks and then move onto another band for a while.

I have a terrible memory though- so without going and looking at my CD's there are a lot of bands I will forget about.

Yes - it is quite long (matron), but most of those bands have been the results of various different obsessions down through the years..... (and I just noticed I missed "The Police" and "Mansun" off the list )

....and I actually bought the new "Hanson" CD, thinking it was actually a new album by "Mansun" ..... The really shocking thing is, it ain't that bad

They're still making music?!

Did they ever make music?

I've never really heard Hanson before: I just knew they were some 14 year old sub-Busted (if such a thing were possible) band so can't comment on their old stuff..... But the new album is not completely terrible by any means, and even quite good in places (although it gets a bit samey after about the first 4 or 5 songs)..... It still ain't Mansun though....

PMSL- you mean you actually listened to it??????

pretty blond boys. do we care what it sounds like, mel?
