I was just IM'n with Fitz and he was very in doubt about who Joy Division was (one of my favourite bands). I was just listening to it when he called. Now don't blame him, maybe Ian Curtis and his gang were not that popular in the States (question: do Americans know what good music is? Dangerous question I know) but it gives me a good topic to reply to the many 'tags' I have received the last couple of weeks.

Update! Fitz told me that Joy Division became know when New Order was born.... Da!

 I'll break the chain however and talk only about my favourite bands or better category of bands, if you don't mind. Here are the 5 I personally like the best:

• When I was 18 (yes ... a long time ago) I was into the Manchester scene as it was called those days. I went every week to concerts of bands like The Charlatans, Ride, Slowdive, Galaxie 500, The Happy Mondays, The Farm, The Soup Dragons, My Bloody Valentine, The Stone Roses, The Chameleons, The Verve,  (probably not mentioning a lot of them here) and all of that stuff. I must say, I still am a big fan of that kind of music.. lots of good memories.. aah. my favorite one and my motto of life ...Let It Flow by Spiritualized..Really love that band!
• The Smiths! Yes, Morrissey is my hero and will always be my hero. Anything he brings out, I buy!
• Godspeed You Black Emperor is a band most of you will say.. what's that all about. Well, listen to a song like Moya and you'll understand (or maybe not)!
• Luna and Mojave 3 are kind of the survivors of Slowdive and Galaxie 500. Very addicted to Dean the last years.
• And yes, I am always looking for new bands. To be included on my IPod, you need to be very alternative, no commercial stuff allowed. So, favorite current bands are Grandaddy (love the 'I'm on standby'), The Cooper Temple Clause (oh man.. promises promises promises!), The Artic Monkeys, Kean, Hope of the States, and many many more 'Indie' type of groups.

Oh boy.. so ashamed of myself.. best band of the last years is definitely Muse. Tx Muse Wunderlich!

Well, I am going to tag Fitz. I am very curious about his favorite music. Go Fitz .. go!
