What is/are  the bands that define you?
The ones you loved when you started loving music? 

For me The Doors and Hawkwind.

    Yes, The Doors definitely. Strangely though, also 10CC and Supertramp. There’s me showing my age.

    The Popguns
    Galaxie 500 
    INXS
    The Wedding Present
    Mazzy Star

    Defined by people knowing I like them and talking to me about them. A bit like how supporting a football club defines you.

    Guess it was my parent's music leading to what I liked in my teens:.

    Beach boys
    Beatles
    Stones
    Hendrix
    Meat Loaf (and why not I ask!)
    Blur/Oasis/Supergrass etc.

    If I had to pick one, probably Beach Boys, even though I don't listen to them much these days... Perhaps I will...

    early 80s soul - bit of a catch all, but the sort of stuff I'd hear when I was out but would always go home and listen to John Peel and I now find I don't listen to the "difficult" Peel stuff but do listen to Oddysey, Chic, Shalamar etc. The 17 year old me would have expected it to be the other way round. The 53 year old me is happy that it's turned out this way and really doesn't want to revisit Theatre of Hate.

    Has to be bands, though? 

    All right, The JB's (James Brown's band), the Funk Brothers (the Motown house band), The Meters, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Lee Fields & The Expressions.
