    I was going for Duran Duran A View to a kill but couldn't decide whether it was spectacular or spectacularly terrible.

    I was 18 and away in college when I realised that Garth Brooks was a divisive figure. But listening again to this track, I think the whole thing is mired in politics. Garth is still a cool guy.

    Do you like Phil Collins?
    I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favourite.

    Do you like Hughie Lewis and the news?

    Do you like Hughie Lewis and the news?

    Yes. Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humour.

    In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself.

    I was finding my own music taste around 2000, I was drawn to the likes of Limp Bizkit,Korn,Linkin Park etc. I still like Limp Bizkits chocolate starfish and hot dog flavored water album

    Really bad and really great, at the same time.

    That actually isn't Garth singing. A lot of his songs are hard to find on YouTube, like 'Somewhere other than the night' etc. Now very like him alright.

    I've a soft spot for Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggles. It's cheesy, but I like it.
