Sally Buttons

I like:
The Clash, Sex Pistols, Damned, Siouxsie etc
Arctic Monkeys, The Killers, White Stripes, The Horrors, The Gossip, Jamie T, Jack Penate
Damien Marley, Toots and the Maytals and lots of reggae, dub and ska
Abba, Erasure, Wham, Squeeze, XTC
David Bowie, T-Rex, John Otway, Doctor Feelgood, Count Bishops, George Thorogood, Steve Harley, Velvet Underground, Ian Dury, early Rod Stewart, Led Zeppelin, New York Dolls
Kate Bush, Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens, Tim Buckley, Dusty Springfield
Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Temptations
A pretty wide selection I think, and there is lots more.


I don't like:
Country and Western, apart from Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline
Opera
Rap, apart from Cypress Hill, Eminem when he's not whining and Dizzee Rascal
Coldplay, James Blunt, Travis, Mika, Evanescence, Oasis
Beyonce and all her clones, doing their rubbish songs with no tunes
People who don't write their own songs, but just nick a backing track from an established song and put new words to it (like Mutya Buena's new single).
All those Dutch/French/German faceless blokes who churn out mindless repetitive dance music, generally taking one line from an old song and just repeating it over and over and over again over a monotonous backing track.
Death metal. Blamming guitars and some bellowing arsehole who sounds like he's gagging on a mouthful of lava, and mostly in German.
