    Almost all of it.

    Currently listening to: Eminem - The Slim Shady Show
    Previous CD: Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy

    I won't detail any further than that because the list would consume a
    little too much bandwidth! Are you trying to sneakily compile the
    recently requested cycling psychological profile by musical tastes?

    Too many to mention! ;-)

    Any of the modern Karaoke bands who can't be bothered to sing original
    material. e.g. McFly (currently doing a re-tread of Help by the Beatles)

    Queen worshipper here. Mercury is my God. Apparently this particular mystical
    aberration is quite common among cyclists.

    Apart from that, classical.

    I have fairly wide ranging tastes: my desert island discs would probably
    include Bach, Miles Davis, Pink Floyd, Satie and the Temptations,
    assuming I could ever narrow stuff down to just a few choices.

    I think my collection probably contains enough variation that I could
    find something that would offend almost anyone in it ;-)

    Overcooked soulless "soul" as typified by Michael Bolton and Mariah
    Carey actually has me reaching for the off-button.

    There's a lot I don't really care for, but most of it is just neutral,
    as opposed to clearly negative like Bolton sounding as if he's giving
    himself a hernia being so damn sincere with all the pain!
    Ugh

    Looks like a bit of Born in the USA to me. Good record, though Tunnel
    of Love and The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle are my fave
    from BS, with Born to Run just bubbling under the top line.

    Pete.

    I'm afraid I've rather given up on current music, I just buy the
    double Chillout Cream/MOS CD's for the car and Walkman. My brother
    insists on buying me CD's for my birthday which he likes (eg Air,
    Royskopp) which usually are pretty dire but better than the NOW ones
    the oldest son likes.

    All sorts. Well, most sorts. Most looking forward to the Goldfrapp live
    DVD (20 Sep).

    Short answer: No.
    Longer answer: My chum Mr. Bird averred that Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
    were akin to JAMC, and having bought both BRMC albums and seen them live
    three times, it seemed like a good idea to give them a try. If
    "Psychocandy" is a typical example of the Jibblywibbly Chain's output, then
    Mr. Bird is this: wrong.

    I have not seen "Lost In Translation" and, after after my grate frend Dai
    Infidel described it as "a chick-flick disguised as an art film", have no
    intention of changing this state of affairs. I prefer helichopters, car
    chases and blokes jumping off walls while things in the background explode,
    because I am shallow.
