It would seem by the the use of the word sheep that you'd like to take the moral high ground with this one.
I'm assuming you must have a wonderfully vast array of eclectic heroes you're waiting to bestow upon us.
Would I be right?
Those who listen to pop or mainstream will be flooding in with theirs I'm sure [clears his throat].
Is that the drink talking or are am I just a cynical fckr? |

If you want a hint of my non mainstream collection, how about Mike Marshall's Big Trio and A Silent Film for two from very different camps. |

"Grieg"
Interesting. Not one of my favourites but must admit that he's written a few memorable pieces. Must check out more of his stuff.
On a classical theme there's a piano piece by Saint-Saëns which gets played a lot on the radio. If you like his style, then Agnes Obel has much of the same simplicity of composition in a modern style. |

Not a great fan of "run of the mill" chart music, always have a cd on in the car. Like to go & watch local bands who are doing something original, mostly rock but love any music at grass roots level. |

"Dont forget that little fella Shaun....  "
My almost 20 year old daughter cannot sleep without her Shaun. He's been to Jamaica, Egypt, Ireland, Canada, Spain and France. She left him at her dad's one weekend, he had to send it special delivery to her at uni in Derby!  |

A pub near us has a Shaun the sheep appreciation society that tune in everyday at the pub to watch. Some even have jumpers like the farmer.
On a music note, if I like the song, I like it whether mainstream or pop but do have more respect for people who write their own stuff and play instruments. Love local gigs with new talent even if they throw a few covers in, but in their own style. |

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum |
I agree tghis is a 'look at meeeee!' post but hey, most of the posts on here are.
I am notorious for 'discovering' bands 10 years after everyone else. I like most music except for modern jazz, but am currently listening to lots of Sigur Ros, Dead Can Dance, Porcupine Tree and Marillion. I also like world music, especially Turkish and Indian. |

"Canadian Indie Rock band Metric are worth a look see/listen."
Been there got that. The acoustic version of 'Sick Muse' only available on the UK special edition is something special |

Musical taste is entirely subjective...so even if a person does enjoy pop etc then is it fair to label them a sheep just because it might be considered mainstream? |

It's only fair if you believe yourself to be a little above others....

"my taste is incredibly eclectic
from dance to metal from country to punk
if i like summat i just like it don't care if its "cool" or not me"
Same here, I've seen big Metal bands like Metallica, smaller bands like King Adora, Amen, The Nuns and also seen the likes of Corrine Bsiley Rae, Sheryl Crow, Natasha Bedingfield.
If I like it I like it, don't tend to enjoy the latest and greatest acts as they're all geared up to sell, by that they sound too much alike. |
