each one is a different era of my life so far:

Elvis P - Brought up on Elvis
Oasis - First modern day band i was well into
Coldplay - Chilled out when revising for my GCSEs
Snow Patrol - See above as well other stuff.

the fifth one is more difficult as there are so many options. The band artist i am going to pick is:

Jack Johnson

And, I suspect, Manic Street Preachers will gain more prominence very soon.

Oasis

Jacko's Bad album was the first record I ever brought. Nirvana were the first current (in '93) "band" I got into. I have always loved Credence though. Oasis were a follow on from Nirvana and EODM are my favourite band now.

YMCA was the first record I ever brought.Pet Shop Boys were the first current (in '93) "band" I got into. I have always loved Elton though.Scissor Sisters were a follow on from Erasure and are my favourite band now.
