Ok, hope there's some experts out there. I like music a lot, but have quite a limited music collection based mainly on well-known/always on the radio type bands. I need some pointers to broaden my collection, I know there's some pretty great bands out there, not only present ones but those from 60's 70's etc, but I don't understand how you're supposed to get into their music, I don't have time to watch music channels all day/ read NME magazines. So based on what I give you below, tell me what category you would put my tastes into, and direct me to some bands/albums which you think I'll be pretty certain to like and I'm currently missing out on. Thx!
