Bluesy rock stuff. Fleetwood Mac (Peter Green), Cream, Love etc

I don't think they're into modern stuff. By modern I mean post 1980

Hugh’s a fan of Mr Jimi Hendrix and Cream. He’s ‘borrowed’ a few of their riffs over the years in his songs.

There was one tour where the pre-gig list was talked about, I have an idea that the crew as well as the band have some input into it.

Didn't Jet always say that he didn't really listen to music other than having the radio on sometimes?

Yeah, Love, Spirit, Lou, Bowie and the Velvets all spring to mind for Hugh. Oh, and Dylan too, obviously.
