Hey everyone,

If I were to ever meet dear Ben, my first question would be, what's your favourite music.

I think music is a huge indicator to character and soul - there's songs on my playlist that make me think of him. But I wonder what's on his playlist.

So my question is, does anyone know what music he likes?

And what songs/artists make you think of him? Mine are Elbow, the Temper Trap, Coldplay and Kings of Convenience.

He's mentioned time and again that he's a fan of Sigur Ros, which really completely ruined me because I love Sigur Ros too. I think in the Reddit AMA he did the last time he did mention Alt-J, Elbow...plus here's an old article regarding his "top 10 tunes".

My personal faves are Coldplay, Arctic Monkeys, Muse, Sigur Ros, Of Monsters and Men, Bastille...too many to name!

I've never listened to Sigur Ros...so they're good then?

I've only listened to a few songs of Sigur Ros, and I think that style of music is beautiful!

Ooh I'll have to check them out. That article is very interesting - Bowie and Wonder, the boy has taste ;)

Pretty good stuff! Worth a listen. Amusingly enough, I first heard SR in the BBC One Original Drama 2013 trailer as the backing track and I thought, I totally have to check this out!

Btw, Rebeccaholmes, your signature just paints a stupid grin on my face every time I see it.
