I forgot to mention Pop Will Eat Itself. I bought everything I could get my hands on, and they had some really class merchandise too. :D

Oh yeah, I forgot about Pink Floyd. I've definitely had an obsession with them.

When I was about 11, I was really obsessed with Green Day. Then, a bit later on, Nirvana. I still listen to Nirvana, but not so much to Green Day.

I don't obsess over other artists as much as I do with BoC, but most other artists are not that mysterious. Pink Floyd and The Antlers come close, and Yo La Tengo to a lesser extent.

My first music obsession was Queen. Oh, boy, I remember that time when pretty much everything I heard was them.

From there, I moved to Rush,
and then to Pink Floyd,
then to Jean Michel Jarre,
Mike Oldfield (to this day, Amarok is my favourite all time album),
Autechre,
Mogwai,
Os Mutantes,
(I think Boards of Canada came around this time),
Squarepusher,
Stereolab,
Vangelis,
XTC,
and now I'm sort of un-obsessed. Granted, I still love every single one of those artists.
