Puddle of Mudd really isn't really my cup of tea, bit too much teenage angst for me, but to each his own as they say. I can't say I've got a single favourite band and it would take ages to list all my favourites, but here are a few. SchneiderTM http://www.schneidertm.com/ - The future of pop music. Lali Puna http://www.lalipuna.de/ - Nico meets New Order in the 21st century Solex http://www.solex.net/ - quirky electronica from the Netherlands. Solex creates songs mainly from sampling the records she can't sell in her own record store. Her brilliant cover version of the Stooges 1969 can be downloaded from the site. Adult. http://www.ersatzaudio.com/ - The funnest, buzziest, punkiest, techno/electronica ever! Chicks on Speed http://www.chicksonspeed.com/index3.html - Does what it says on the tin, very fun :) The Tycho Brahe http://thetychobrahe.com/ One of my favourite Irish bands, capable of being intelligent without being pretentious.

Couldn't make a decision on my one 'favourite' band cos there are too many to pick one, likewise too many albums to pick just one - but my favourite 'at the moment' is Peaches, her new record, 'Fatherf*cker', is amazin, it's a breath of fresh air. She does a song with Iggy Pop that alone makes it worth buying. I'm going to hunt down her other album 'The Teaches of Peaches' at the weekend. I'm afraid to look at her website in work for fear of what might come up!

Im listening to peaches a lot lately , a girl i work with got me listening to her. Lovertits is a good un

I'm not a fan of miss potty-mouth herself, but if you like Peaches, you should take a listen to Chicks on Speeds latest album 99c. Theres a track on there called "we don't play guitars" which features peaches adding some vocals and (ironically enough) adding a kick-ass guitar solo. This is is possibly one of the best dumb dance/rock songs I've heard in ages, it reminds me of early beastie boys or that aerosmith/Run DMC song "walk this way". Oh, and you gotta love a song that features the lines "We like to use gaffa tape but we don’t play guitars / Give us your gaffa tape, we don’t want your guitars" The only downside is the album isn't actually as cheap as its title suggests.

I would have to say Joy division/Neworder They have gone through so many styles and have been around for years and they still amaze me and there one of the only bands that i have every album they have ever done and holy s**t theres alot!

Favourite rock bands/artists is always an impossible question, but for the moment I'm hooked on Ron Sexsmith and his "Cobblestone Runway" album. www.ronsexsmith.com He's great live too I saw him in the Summer. The new album is full of ballads mostly that are unbelievably addictive and he's got a very expressive type of voice. And they say Bryan Adams is Canada's finest export, yeah right...... That's my favourite right now but it will probably be something else next week...... Q2

dEUS are still the only band that actually made my jaw drop. i tried to say something about them. album: in a bar under the sea www.deus.be
