My all-time favourite band will always be Sonic Youth.
As for my other favourites, I tend to have them in 2 categories:
Stuff I like now (yes, I am a hipster):
Hudson Mohawke, Flying Lotus, Onra, Lone, Bibio, Ford & Lopatin/Games, Com Truise, Neon Indian, James Blake, The Weeknd, Dam-Funk, anything J. Dilla made or produced, Tyler the Creator, SBTRKT, Cocteau Twins, M83, My Bloody Valentine, Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Velvet Underground, Joy Division, David Bowie, Depeche Mode, other older gothy type bands (Sisters of Mercy etc).

Given a “tentative” diagnosis as a child as I needed services at school for what was later correctly discovered to be a major anxiety disorder.
This misdiagnosis caused me significant stress, which lessened upon finding out the truth about myself from my current and past long-term therapists - that I am an anxious and highly sensitive person but do not have an autism spectrum disorder.
My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.
