Pop Quiz: Your favorite band(s): ***Go!***

Pop Quiz: Your favorite band(s): Go!

Since I now have a working car radio I am desperately in need of recommendations for music.

If it came out after The Joshua Tree, assume I haven’t heard it.

ps - the “Pop” in the title of this post is meant in terms of “surprise” not “genre of music”. I have a wide variety of musical tastes, although I generally dislike rap, opera, country, and whatever they call that “style” of “music” where Bjørk slowly pulls a cat through a keyhole by its tail while Sigur Rós look on disapprovingly while playing melancholy nose harps. No judgment.
