Kenny Loggins' entire back catalogue.

Cheesy stuff aside, which to be fair to it, generally was of a good quality because it involved people who could nearly sing and genuine quality production... I love all the music of the 80's. Maybe it's because it's what I grew up with as a kid? I don't know??

Anything Factory Records is very close to my heart, along with general Indie and especially the Smiths. Reminds me of gigging as a kid, I'd spend every penny I had getting into Manchester to watch anyone and everything. I saw a lot of great bands, experienced the Hacienda... good times!

Check this, how they capture Ian Curtis' energy in Playmobil is beyond me.

Here's a slightly leftfield one: Then Jericho, Big Area.

I was at a small comedy club recently and the compare picked out a bloke in the audience and said he reckoned he had the look of a musician who had been in a decent sized band. Turns out to be the lead singer. I went home that night and played it on YouTube, good song.
