I'm sure I will sound like a heretic here, but music has never featured that much in my life. Books however are a completely different matter :).

Love books too, but music and sex are the real thing.

Haven't you realised yet, there is no "real thing". We're all living in the Matrix.  :o

I've been trying to think on this one, I seem to have forgotten most of it!

So, the ones which stick out are:

Queen - Greatest Hits II: We had some of the other albums, but this one got the most play.
Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms: Awesome album, still listen to it regularly now.
Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill: One of the first albums I ever bought on CD!
www.pendraken.co.uk - Now home to over 10,000 products, including nearly 5000 items for 10mm wargaming, plus MDF bases, Battlescale buildings, I-94 decals, Litko Gaming Aids, Militia Miniatures, Raiden Miniatures 1/285th aircraft, Red Vectors MDF products, Vallejo paints, Tiny Tin Troops flags and much, much more!

Have you noticed, in the main wargamers tend to prefer the noisy hard rock stuff? Dr Freud might have something to say about that.  :D

And that's always been true as well. Wargamers have little taste (myself excluded obviously   8) )

AHEM !!

I have the ultimate taste.....

Ray's right though....Hard Rock seems to be the particular 'genre' that the majority ? of wargamers seem to gravitate to....(or from) ;)
What I found rather spooky, from a few years back....Was that when I put in my very first order to Amazon.....I got back a list of other items "that you might like."

The were spot on in just about every case.....From a rock CD...They could have a good guess as to the books I'd like....and a lot of other stuff.
Are we all that predictable ?....Horrifying ! ;D ;D ;D

Good to see that our friends on the forum aren't quite SO predictable.....A nice selection of albums from different eras and styles/genres.
Cheers - Phil.

You really shouldn't have let Amazon insert that chip in your head - I know it qualifies you for free postage but there's so many downsides. Of course there's nothing to worry about with the GW chip that I have inserted. Now, must be off to buy more trolls for The Hobbit...

It is possible that other genuinely music-loving gamers have chosen not to stand up and be counted. I can't believe I'm the only one.
