I've just been enlightened, or not exactly. Since my parents have always been listening to Queen, Pink Floyd, Dire straits and suchlike I'v ealways been around to hear the music, but one day I just sat down and actually Listened.

That was one of those thing I realized I should have done much sooner, I've always been more of a Clash person myself, Joe Strummer is the Man and so on. Now I've realized that even though The Clash may be a completely mind-blowingly brilliant band, they are not the ONLY mind-blowingly brilliant band ever to exist. Somehow I've realized I've let alot of great music slip me by for years.

Freddie Mercury sings with such an energy that when I heard Breakthru' for the second time around my heart beat so hard I thought I was going to choke on it. Not that I'm the most reserved and stiff person ever to be, but I've always been a strong follower of personal space and if you watch the Breakthru' - video it becomes blindingly obvious that he was a person without any sort of inhibitions and, well, it made me fell sort of. Dull.

Not that Freddie is the only awesome member of Queen even though I dare say that it's not Queen without him, the sound Brian May makes by just plucking some strings is nothing short of magic, and the for the Physics nerd that I am, the title AstroPhysicist just makes him plain cool.

David Bowie then, he's also one of those things I've regrettably learned is much too underrated.

On to much more modern musicians, not that I've decided on wether his music is way too cheezy or just plain brilliant but John Mayer's "My stupid mouth" and "Daughters" send shivers up my spine.

Summary: Many great artists have been neglcted by me for too long and I will be taking my responsibilty now by listening to them until my ears bleed from bliss. Lovely.
