Heartland

I´m new in Myheartland, there are a lot of topics to read so I don´t know if what I am gonna ask now has been done before or not. Anyway is a quite typical question, I don´t feel very "original" tonight.
I would like to know what are your other music obsessions, fave bands, etc.
Mine are The Sisters Of Mercy (specially between 1980 and 1985), The Jesus And Mary Chain (God!, how much I adore them , William Reid! ) and Rozz Williams (Christian Death, Shadow Project, Daucus Karota, Heltir, etc). I´m also laterly quite "obsessed" with Uk Decay.

My musical taste is very eclectic.All I want to hear is good music no matter of its genre classification.So my other than Sisters musical obsessions are:
Tangerine Dream,Kraftwerk,Suicide,David Bowie,Deep Purple,Black Sabbath,Led Zeppelin,The Stooges,Pere Ubu,Motorhead,Joy Division/New Order,Siouxsie & The Banshees,Fields Of The Nephilim,Laibach,James,Happy Mondays,The Stone Roses,Massive Attack,Future Sound Of London and Bjork among others.

Music first!

For me it has to be Jim and Bill Reid , nick cave, the nephilim, the Jesus Lizard, and quite a few others (not forgetting the Leningrad Cowboys )

i'd be with nancy_78,but with more recent nosing about in the likes of VNV Nation,Angels and Agony and the like.with the stuff which came before it too,the earliwer stuff like front 242,casandra complex,kmdf,apoptygma bezerker,die krupps.
pay homage to the earlier trad stuff such as the Rolling Stones,Jimi Hendrix(the greatest blues guitarist of all time,i think)the very early Pink Floyd(such as Bike,pure genius).
love the Carpenters too,Mamas and papas,van morrison,janis joplin,beatles-of course;to more recent stuff such as incubus(not sucubus) and a whole lot of the bands which fall under the "nu metal"label.

Actually the singles were much better than the album, "For madmen only". Oh!, in 1980 I was just 2 or 3 years old!, I have missed so many good concerts because of "my age" and geographical problems .

i have had "For madmen only" for asbout 15 years and have listened to it twice.... thought it was dreary and uninspiring. so are the singles better then?

Apollo 440
Bran Van 3000
Len
Audioslave
Barry White
The Wildhearts
Jimmy Eat World

By the way, welcome. You gonna hang here and run your board at the same time?

Yeah, the singles are much better for my taste, songs like "Middle of the road man", "Disco romance", "Unwind" or "Uk Decay". The album was not bad, tracks like "Unexpected guest" or "Sexual" are quite cool but in comparison with the singles is not the biggest hit. Some songs are quite boring.

Do you think I will have trouble in making two things at the same time?, do you have problems with Miss Nick O´Tine being here and in "the other board" at the same time ?.
