Music

As clichéd as it will sound, I think music is very important and it has really influenced my life. You can guarantee if there is an important event in my life then there is a song that is in someway linked to it.

I have always been a big fan of popular culture and popular music. Being a child of the 80's I consider to have grown up in the best era.

As one review of "Prince: The Greatest Hits" stated - "the 80's was a time when great artists were picked by God and not Nasty Nigel". There are only a few remaining great talents in the popular music world and I am a big fan of Prince, Janet, Pet Shop Boys, Duran Duran, ATB and Jamiroquai.

Find out my views on my favourite artists/musical styles from the list below:
