DOB 1969

Frankie Goes To Hollywood were my first favourites. I still like listening to it now 20 years later. My tastes haven't really changed much. I think I would have liked prog from the beginning but I just didn't hear any until I was 16 years old.

Lets see how our musical tastes changed from when we were very young to the present.

When I was young, I mostly like Argentinian pop/rock, and Dire Straits!

My favourites:

_Dire Straits (Walk of Life was my favourite song of all times)

_Patricio Rey y Sus Redonditos de Ricota (Classic rock sounding)

_La Renga (Popular hard rock band with a lot of energy)

_Sumo (another good rock band from my country)

Now, I love progressive rock and classic rock. However, I could put Dire Straits easily in my top 20 bands... maybe even in my top 10. It is, in my opinion, easily the best band from the 80s.

How about you?
