Ok, here's the question:

If you were to make a compilation of music from today for somebody who knows near to nothing about music, what would you include?

:thinking: :)

 

Oh and try to add a bit of variety...not like "coldplay, coldplay, keane, coldplay, embrace, coldplay, keane...etc" :D

From today meaning recent music?

Yes :D well it can be from the 90's too

It must be good being able to move your own threads. :lol:

 

Ok...ummm...this is hard...

 

I'll just say bands, I think that is what you want is it not? (probably)

 

Ok:

Radiohead

U2
