    Prince - most people think I'm crazy for liking him.
    Prince is one of the all time greats. Sign O' The Times is without question one of the greatest records ever made, and by far the greatest made by a 'popstar'.

    Thank you! I don't understand how anyone could diss him, but then I was bought up on his music. I know it's a bit commercial but When Doves Cry is always a sure fire way to get me on the dance floor!

    It is odd, his biggest songs such as When Doves Cry and Purple Rain are genius, and beyond that he has a discography full of amazing records.

    My boyfriend claims his voice is an acquired taste and not one he gets on with. That said, he's not a fan of high pitched male singers, so would explain why.

    Then again, I don't like his music, so swings and roundabouts

    Prince is amazing, but I don't know a single person my age who listens to him. Matchbox Twenty - no one knows of. And if I mention Train everyone says 'hee-eey' or 'drive by-i-a-a-i'. They have other/better songs. :unimpressed:

    Periphery :excited: Almost the only band I've been listening to since July (even earlier perhaps!) I could talk about them all day but I only know 3 people who like them :sad:

    The Pineapple Thief, it's sort of like a mix between Porcupine Tree and Radiohead/Muse, the album Someone Here is Missing is fantastic! Unfortunately, I haven't met anyone else who's actually heard of them...

    InMe. For some reason as the quality of their albums increased they became more and more unknown.

    Eugene McGuinness, I've been obsessed with his music since the beginning of February and I can't get any of my friends to like him :bawling:

    Poets of the Fall!

    Supposedly big in Finland, and tragically nowhere else. Their sound is lushness incarnate, the lead singer has a voice like liquid charm and the lyricist really is a poet.

    I like Manic Street Preachers. They're a bit like Radiohead but nowhere near as popular, although they were well-known in the UK in the 90s. Their album 'The Holy Bible' is one of the best albums I've ever heard.

    Yeah that was the first song I heard by them and I thought I'd give them a listen, they're really good
