The Music That Jonathan Listens To

There's no definitive thread that runs through the music I really like to listen to. At certain times, I'll listen to one set of music (with only a small bit of commonality), and in another mood I'll listen to something else completely.

My favourite artists

currently include the following, in no particular order:

(note that these are artists I seem to consistently like and rarely get tired of)

Wolfstone
Silly Wizard
Fleetwood Mac
Grand Dérangement
Trans-Akadi
Zemfira
Yat-Kha
Gabriel Yacoub
Urker
The Grass Roots
The Beatles
Junoon
The Monkees
CCR
Luar na Lubre
Bangles
Dervish
