Kate Bush & Toyah were my favorites when I was younger

They're just amazing artists with such vision of what they want!! We managed to get a couple of vinyls of them at our local market and I'm in love!

Were they LP's or 7" let me know and when I get 5 minuets spare I will see if I have anything I can give you from my collection as I don't listen to them any more, not sure what I still have though.

Thats very kind they were LP's.

Which ones do you have and I will see if I have any different ones

Kate Bush - The Whole Story
Toyah - Anthem / The Changeling

How long you got? haha. We'll stick to current bands/artist coz the list would be ridiculous other wise, considering I own just about every Motown record released!!

Linkin Park, Sonic Boom Six, The Feeling, The Black Eyed Peas, Gym Class Heroes, Fall Out Boy, Alicia Keys, No Doubt, The Academy Is..., RX Bandits, Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Kaiser Chiefs, Common, Talib Kweli, Paramore, Mos Def, Lauryn Hill, Motion City Soundtrack, Fort Minor, Jurassic 5, Strange Fruit Project, Shystie, Floetry, Amerie, Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, Hoosiers, Adele.

Ah you like Adele, my daughter was in the same music class @ The Brit School as her so I have been watching here evolve since she was 14

okay....here goes... my personal faves and influences... Wire... Television... syd barrett...blur... libertines... stereolab.... adverts... clash....beatles... smiths.... nick drake.... metric.... young knives... broadcast... radiohead... madness.. specials... jam.... love... jamie-t... arctic monkeys...strokes... rakes... skip spence... doors.... stranglers... foals... bloc party...joy division... police... velvet underground... god, there are lots of them and i can't even think of them... i once wrote a list and it was about three a4 pages... generally i dislike more than i like though... and i am one of the only people i know who thinks that it's healthy to do so....

just read chloe's Motown statement and am in entire concurrence...

i.e... motown is, like, well good and that....

Well I was brought up on Motown, Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, The Four Tops, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Edwin Star etc, now if there was a local band playing this style you would get booked tomorrow, so how about trying this style and see if you can write a track

sounds like a challenge.... i used to wish i was black... but have now grown used to ginger.... just not sure whether a ginge trying motown would turn into simply red somewhere along the line... hehehe

You can borrow Trev's I am sure he would sing for you

actually i am sure trev the fro would sing motown particularly well.....

He can sing in most styles as I have found over the years, likes a challenge does Trev
