I have many favourite music artists and bands. Like many people I suppose, my most favourite tend to become a bit of an obsession for a while when I first really get into them. This often means months (or years) of non stop listening, watching and buying up all their material. My favourites will always stay with me, even though some other will soon replace them in the obsession stage!
Then of course there are even more artists I really like a lot, but wouldn’t class as obsessions! And even more that I like but too many to mention.
I can usually remember the period in time when I really got into my absolute favourites, so I’ve listed them below, most recent first, and link to a blog post giving more information. Then comes a list of all the other most liked, in alphabetical order, with a link to a blog post if I can be bothered
