yep 10 years ago it was 80% of my music,these days i listen to loads of diferant stuff and all mod/britpop stuff gets alot less airplay but when puttig a list together thay still get the nod even on nostalgia

the problem with these lists is once you have done yours you look at others and see bands like the arctics and think oh yeah forgot about them

I agree mate. I loved Ocean Colour Scene but when do they ever write? I think they're still going but I've not heard any new material in years. Also, loved Oasis back on the day - have all their albums but never play them. I think you grow older, listen to a broader selection and your tastes change. The greats stay great though. I've been listening this week to Led Zep, Pink Floyd and The Beatles. I'm far more in to vocals and R n B now.

It changes as my mood changes but off the top of my head 5 artists:

Big Country

Rush

Sonic Youth

New Model Army

Our Lady Peace

Big Country will always be there somewhere everything will probably be different tomorrow.
