What an excellent and thoroughly well written list.

For the record I love both John Walker Music and Kieron Gillen Music equally

I saw the Mae Shi a good few years ago with Rapider Than Horsepower. They were suitably energetic. For that, read weird. Though I think they were out-weirded by Rapider, who are just weird.

Those two have a split 12″ (Do Not Ignore The Potential) that has some corkers on it, think it should still be available somewhere!

My love of you has just grown, Mr. Walker. Oh, and I’m trying to find out exactly why I won a copy of city of heroes from PCG. Was it because I used the name Dexter? Mr. Francis said Graham chose the winners, but I just wanna make sure.

When water comes to life nearly brought me to tears. I’m not sure why.

Kieron’s taste doesn’t suck arse, neccesarily, it’s just… varied.

I do like some of the stuff he’s posted, but I can appreciate a much larger majority of John Walker’s list than KG’s. Also, has anyone else seen the top two websites above this page when you search “John Walker Music” on Google. Maybe when someone said “That’s John Walker Music” they actually meant one of those guys…

I’m entirely unqualified to talk about pop music, but if there’s one thing I hate about people who listen to pop music it’s the binary genre idiocy that so many people latch onto. So many times I’ve heard people describe a song as “depressing” when it’s anything but. Moving? Yes. Depressing? No.

To this type of thought music falls into two categories:

1) PARTY!!!!!
2) Despressing

With no in-between. So thankyou Mr John Walker for recognising that the spectrum may be somewhat more padded than that. It’s reassuring, y’know? Sometimes I can be happy and still not want to dance (most of the time actually). Music deserves to exist for this state.

Sir, let me tell you something. Kieron Gillen’s music taste sucks arse. Yours doesn’t

How could music be dismissed as John Walker Music! John Walker is AWESOME.

Also, I am not him, no matter how much it may look like I am just him in disguise.

While clearly it’s all about the insult, I have heard music dismissed with the phrase, “That’s John Walker music,” a few times of late.

John misunderstands. The phrase “John Walker Music” isn’t dismissive to his music. It’s dismissive to John Walker. That’s how being mean works.

Your taste in music is so awesome, I may just have to buy these CD’s with my Christmas money not even hearing some of the Band’s tracks. Thank you for this great list Sir.
