Welcome, and I can respect those musical tastes... though I have to say, you're seriously missing out by not liking metal or jazz!

And I have to say, you may just not like the ye olde metal/protometal from back in your day. Ask around here, you may find some shoegaze related metal that you enjoy!

If you're having difficulty in enjoying jazz, then I would suggest looking into a nu jazz band called Skalpel.

Anyways, welcome to the site. (The Cocteau Twins are great)

Thanks - Will have a look - anyone you suggest ?
My son got into some god-awful stuff like Pantera and Machine Head which has in a way cemented my view of the genre, plus some (well most) of the stuff on Guitar Hero has done the same.

Well everyone around here got into Alcest not that long ago. It's essentially shoegaze metal.

Personally, I'm not huge into it, but you may be. I enjoy traditional metal, which you obviously don't like.

I'm not very knowledgeable about metal that incorporates elements of the genres you mentioned... you may want to go to one of our several metal threads and take a look around. Jackhammer and Batlord are our two biggest metalheads (to my knowledge) and will give ya a hand if you care enough to ask!

gave it a listen and its OK, I didnt run for the hills.

I guess that I (possibly like a few others - and indeed this site) tend to put things in genre boxes/labels and have opinions accordingly, when many artists dont fit in the box, or indeed could straddle 2 or more boxes (bad metaphor, I know) and jazz is a very wide box

We got chucked out a pub in Ireland once that had some sort of Jazz MTV playing rather loudly on the tv screens - After a song finished, I said to my companion something "thank god that ***t has finished" - the barman heard us and told us to drink up & leave.

Apparently according to the know-it-alls that stalk amazon reviews, the last couple of David Sylvian albums are jazz-influenced and without doubt IMO they are the worst 2 things he has ever released - manafon is an absolute dog, what a waste of such a wonderful voice
