If there is one thing I would like to see in music for 2011 is a return to guitar based music….In 2010 there was a lot of electronic music made and also acoustic indie pop(which I am particularly tired of)….That’s okay but let’s get back to a big guitar sound….Currently two British bands THE VACCINES and BROTHER re being set up as saviors of British music ala Oasis and Blur in the 90’s… .We will see.
