JOHN MILES - MUSIC

Everybody's taste in music is different, that's what makes us interesting, I have always had a love of music for as long as I can remember, but it was not until the emergence of 'The Beatles', that my ears pricked up, and I thought, 'what's this'.

I grew up in the '60's',  and what a great time that was for music. The Beatle's, The Stone's, The Kink's and The Beach Boy's featured quite highly on my playlist of that time.

At boarding school I was introduced to the 'Classic's', and still enjoy listening to some fine Composer's like 'Vivaldi' and 'Bach'. I have a preference for 'Baroque'. I also enjoy some 'Opera'

During my Army day's I got into the 'Blue's' and 'Motown', followed quite closely by 'Reggae' and 'Ska'.

Then I heard 'Pink Floyds',  'Dark Side of the Moon'.  Wow! I had a 'Sgt Pepper's' moment, and found myself heading in a new direction, 'Mike Oldfield, Yes, Wishbone Ash, Uriah Heep and many more rock orientated bands began to appear in my collection.

The preference for rock music has continued throughout my life, and I now find myself listening to bands like 'Keane' and 'The Feeling' to name but a few.
