MySpace a place for friends

I have a diverse musical background. Driving in my car, I find that I tend to gravitate mostly towards either orchestral rock or singer/songwriters. My favorite band is Electric Light Orchestra. My favorite showman is Jon Mikl Thor. My favorite singer is Harry Nilsson.

Of course I'll probably be listening to Cephalic Carnage or Inhuman Disilliency in between. :)

The list is endless. OK, face it. I like composers, glam rock, death metal, hippy shit, and some goth crap.

Just a brief update. It has been pointed out to me that I like "heartbreaking lyrics". I can't argue with that. One thing I've forgotten to mention in the list above is my LOVE for AM Rock. I love The Carpenters, The Walker Brothers, Olivia Newton-John, etc.
