• Kiss, 
• U2 

• U2, 
• Ryan Adams, 
• REM, 
• The Smiths, 
• The National. Anything that doesn't make we want to stab out my eyes with forks and shove them in my ears.

• Hmmm, 
• this is perennially changing. Sling Blade, 
• Laurel Canyon, 
• Taxi Driver, 
• The Sweet Hereafter, 
• Withnail and I, 
• Napoleon Dynamite.
