5 Artists 

Aavicii

ELO

Galantis

The XX

Tiesto

I have chosen these artists because they are my most listened to at the moment however i do enjoy plenty of other artists and bands. The bands and artists on this list all create electronic music, for example ELO still sing in there work but the sounds and the background music are generated on electronic instruments of synthesisers. jump forward a few decades to Galantis they have singing in there work but just the same as ELO the background music is electronic however it is created digitally as compared to ELO but the principle is still the same. Having the background music electronically created gives the music a sharper more spine tingling listening experience as i feel it jumps out at me.    

5 Movies

The Inbetweeners Movie

The Hangover

Step Brothers

The Anchorman

Bruno

What all the movies on this list have in common is they are all very funny (to me al least). I do enjoy action movies and horror movies but give me the option and i will always pick comedy due to the ease of watching. I have watched the movies countless times and i will always be willing to watch them again, they never fail to make me laugh out loud. the only movie on the list that i might watch with my parents is The Anchorman and even that is a bit close to the bone, but overall the jokes and gags in the movies are adult from the language used to references given thats why these movies are my top 5.

5 TV Shows  

American Dad

Family Guy

The Simpsons

Breaking Bad

The Inbetweeners

American Dad, Family Guy and the Simpsons are all a cartoons that are easy watching and funny, i can watch them for hours and hours, i feel a connection to the characters in all three cartoons due to the fact i have watched them religiously every week without fail. i always feel lost when they aren't on and i find myself re watching my old favourites online.

Breaking Bad is the only real serious TV show on this list, thats down to the fact that the show developed just quick enough to keep the suspense and interest while at the same time making you wait for the ultimate outcome of the season, however i do feel the show could have ended slightly sooner. I also enjoyed the was main characters where killed off to develop the story.

The inbetweeners was just grossly funny with each episode leaving me almost in tears, it perfectly depicts lads at school prating around and getting into all sorts of cringe worthy situations. The show finished way to early leaving it a cult classic that is always worth a re visit once in a while.

5 comedians

Peter Kay 

Peter Kay must be my all time favourite comedian due to his versatility and the face that i can relate to everything he says. i never fail to laugh when i watch anything he is in from his stand up to his latest show car share. unfortunately i have never got to see his live shows but i really want to before he retires. i enjoy a lot of his TV works such as phoenix nights and cradle to grave which i am currently watching.

Rob Brydon

i enjoy watching things with Rob Brydon in, the face he is a very intelligent man creates a depth to his jokes. i saw the show he did with Steve Coogan where they travel Europe, it is very interesting and the jokes are very informative, it may sound strange but it is deep and well thought out. probably my all time favourite pice of work he was heavily involved it was gavin and stacey which was a great watch. 

Sean Lock

Sean locks jokes are based very heavily around scenarios that we would never picture ourselves in but when we think about it, it is very funny. i particularly enjoy watching him on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown where he brings in a stupidly funny mascot that makes me laugh harder than most the jokes on the show. he is almost the best one liner/ comeback comedian as well just falling short to milton jones 

Lee Evans

If you don't enjoy Lee Evans then you must have a very poor sense of humour, his sketches are always fresh and he always puts 100% into his stand up, he is very passionate about what he does which does shows very much in his work, his harmless jokes are funny and un offensive. 

Harry Hill

Harry hill was the bomb on my Saturday nights with his TV burp which took the pee out of shows i hate including corry and east enders. his style of comedy is silly harmless fun which even now makes me laugh like a little child. i would even go as far to say that you've been framed wouldn't be that funny without his voice over and for that reason he makes it on the top 5 list.     

5 Songs

ELO- All Over The World

This is my favourite ELO song due to its up beat tempo and the song lyrics, i think the artists in the band ELO make the song what it is and not the lyrics or the backing music. if anyone else sung the song i wouldn't enjoy it. the song keeps loud and in full throttle all the way through which makes it a great song to listen to before a race or at the gym.

The XX- Intro

this is probably my favourite non lyrical song, i always listen to this song before a race. it builds up great tension which helps me perform. there have been variations and remixes to this song which i enjoy but the original is always the best. 

Brian Eno- An Ending (Acent)

this song is always a fitting piece to a dramatic TV show or movie it sends shivers down my spine but at the same time can relax me and sometimes helps me get to sleep. i believe each person takes a different interpretation on the song , mine for example is very organic and earthly.

John Murphy- In A Heartbeat

i first heard this song when i was about 11 watching at the time my favourite show which was doctor who and this song was on when rose died, it sounds kind of daft that the first time i heard the song was on a sic fi show but as soon as it had played i was looking up what it was. I'm not sure if the reason i like it is because of its accompaniment to doctor who or the fact it gives me goosebumps. 

Slade- Merry Xmas Everybody

it may seem strange that a christmas song made it on my list due to fact you can only listen to it for a month a year but i feel thats why it is special. this was the first christmas song i remember and know all the words to. the song is on at the happiest time of the year so I'm always up beat when listening to this song.
