Can’t believe I missed this question, that’s what you get for being lazy in checking questions for you. Anyway.

I find it hard to specify a favourite band as my tastes cycle and change over time, at the moment I’m quite into:

Fightstar
DJ Otzi
Boards of Canada
Adam Fielding

But that doesn’t include my varying collection that includes:

The Flashbulb
M83
u-Ziq
Pendulum
Enigma
Aphex Twin

Of which I have 2 or more albums of, which generally means I like them :)

AlfredaPrufrock's avatar

@skyrail, lots of new bands to check out!

AstroChuck's avatar

God, I feel old. Haven’t heard of any of those.

Skyrail's avatar

Most of them aren’t mainstream bands and are somewhat obscure to most. Adam Fielding has released his stuff on Magnatune, DJ Ötzi is German, and the two bands people are most likely to have heard of are Pendulum and Fightstar. I can guarantee that 99% of the kids in my school haven’t heard of The Flashbulb, M83, µ-Ziq, Aphex Twin etc. etc. so I don’t think it’s an age thing AC, more of an obscurity ‘problem’.

I’m glad this question up, it’s prompted me to listen to some of the artists I’ve not listened to in a long while, thanks :D

I think the two bands people are most likely to have heard of are Boards of Canada and Aphex Twin?
