Alright,
My name's Mike, I'm 48 and from London.
My favourite artist by some distance is Bruce Springsteen. In terms of songwriting, quality of albums, musical diversity and his live shows, no one comes close to him in my humble opinion.
Other favourites....
The Clash
The Jam
Paul Weller
Pink Floyd
Van Morrison
REM
Dylan
Fleetwood Mac
Gaslight Anthem
Noel Gallagher
The Who
The Kinks
Small Faces
So pretty much mainstream stuff, nothing to obscure.
Hope I fit in here
