Bands, Solo Artists, Tracks to check out – let me know below – or here!
I’m pretty open to music, from the Beastie Boys to Beethoven, I’ll give most things a chance (Except really Country country. Alas, my apologies!)

Favorite artists include: The Beatles, Ben Folds, Cake, The Foo Fighters, The Fratellis, Michael Buble, any and all Classic Rock.

I’m also always on the hunt for those one hit wonders people forget about — from nearly all eras from the 50s on. I’ve been hunting a lot of Motown recently!
