But you barely like any bands from Britain from the 00s, just a handful.

It makes me sad that America really have dominated the 00s, unless there's a few bands from Britain out there I don't know about that produced great stuff in the 00s.

A handful is not bad considering I primarily listen to American funk/indie rock. The Arctic Monkeys rock!

Aye, that gives me some comfort. You know I love the Monkeys so that works in your favour.

I don't like Funk though, then again I've not listened to much of it. Chilis are k.

Oh, but you're also one of those pretentious guy who thinks his post count and join date means something. That's good, man. Very cool. I'm glad you've established yourself as such an internet badass.

That would be a mighty long list. But we had a thread a while back where people tried to explain their musical tastes, here's what I wrote:

To start with I would say that really anything that's unique and well done is most likely something that will appeal to me. Various kind of electronic music make up a sizable chunk of my music tastes, this ranges from older stuff like Kraftwerk to new wave to late 80s/early 90s electro-industrial and EBM to trip-hop and dubstep to IDM and breakcore to electroclash. I'm also big fan of loud music and/or music that rocks out pretty hard, this encompasses quite a bit—hardcore, grindcore, thrash, noise rock, stoner metal, death metal, etc. Some longtime favorites of mine are also singer-songwriter types like Tom Waits, Nick Cave, and Leonard Cohen. Aside from that I'm a pretty big postpunk fan too, with Killing Joke, PiL, Gang Four and Wall of Voodoo being some favorites. Then there's the jazz; I'm not a huge jazzhead but I do listen to a fair amount of it, mostly stuff from the 40s through the 70s. Beyond that I have a wide variety of stuff that I dabble in substantially—everything from hip-hop to 50s and 60s pop rock to latin music to african music.

I just thought it was ironic that you were handing out advice on being a heavy contributer considering that you aren't there yet. Please relax. We're not here to fight.

That actually sounds like you don't know what spam is.
