There's a decent balance of music fans here, but yeah, I'd say metal is the dominant genre here.

There are plenty of good bands in that lineup. I imagine Dredg, Minus the Bear, Black Lips, John Butler Trio, Mum, Architecture in Helsinki, Portishead and Kraftwerk would be good ones to see (on top of the ones you emboldened).

[I Like Me]

Islands. That's sex.

[Solaris]

I've heard of about 5 bands on that list. That's bad on my part.

Edit: Just counted and it's more like 10, but still.

spiritualized are one of the greatest bands ever.
