Lot of good stuff on here, but like you said on 2/09, you want to expand more outside the '60s and '70s. You like U2, so try some other '80s and '90s alternative...Tears for Fears, The Cure, R.E.M., and The Cranberries.

Nothing wrong with loving the 60s and 70s... I'm curious to see what your 80s, 90s and 00s decade charts will look like.

Miles Davis was probably the last one I discovered. I am trying to broaden my horizons on music but still love the 60s and 70s.
