[kj] OT a most august Poll

[michael.head at directline.com]

for me, it has always been the guitar that made kj unique (particularly
since bpf's abandonment of the toms for snare after Revelations then
electric kit for NightTime !). i'd imagine the other guitarists on this
list feel similarly effected by 'The Wand', but I cannot understand why
seminal guitar bands like Korn & SoaD don't get a shout on here as faves.

I have always tried to keep an open ear for anything new (hence my
recommendation for Kasabian (good band for anybody who likes Xterminator
era Primal Scream) and previous praise for bands like Cooper Temple Clause
etc


My main exposure to newer bands tends to come from the dance spectrum these
days . . . Youth's Pandemonium era tendency to get his Psytrance mates to
remix the tracks set me on a path that has introduced me to some very good
(Hallucinogen, Prana, Bamboo Forest, Safi Connection) and some not so good
(I really couldn't recommend the Crop Circles CD's) stuff . . even then
it's music made by older people (mostly old punks it seems) for an older
audience . .


Unfortunately I find my musical taste for "guitar music" has become
somewhat stuck these days . . . it's not that I won't try to listen to new
music it's more that I will tend towards bands who show definite influence
(in some cases more than influence, CTC could be Hawkwind on some tracks)
to bands I got in to in my youth.


Anyway . . . I'm rambling . . I blame the heat & humidity :o)
