    Bruce Hornsby
    Golden Earring
    The Verve/Richard Ashcroft
    Bruce Springsteen
    Sigur Ros

    (tough not to include Simple Minds, Talk Talk, Chris Rea, Led Zep, or Steve Winwood/Traffic)

    The older you get the harder it is. I've been trying for months to finish mapping out my life in music with You Tube clips, its bloody hard work.

    Pink Floyd

    The Clash

    The Jimi Hendrix Experience

    The Rolling Stones

    Blur

    This was much harder than the films list, I could change all of those for another band, many of which have already been mentioned above.

    Teardrop Explodes
    Orange Juice
    Husker Du
    The Church
    The Triffids

    could easily have included The Beat, Specials, Les Negresses Vertes, TV personalities, 1000 Violins, Uncle Tupelo, Camper van Beethoven, Echo & the Bunnymen, Josef K, Go Betweens, Oysterband, Show of Hands and even more if I think about it too long...

    Shows my age I guess.

    No Led Zep?

    Was going to include them but it appears that they ripped off the intro to Stairway to Heaven so I couldn't vote for them. Not their first offence either.

    Yep, that's a straight lift by Led Zep.

    Very harsh!! There's very little new under the sun, Horatio.

    I'll forgive them that, especially as I do not consider Stairway to be their best track.

    Led Zeppelin
    The Band
    The Velvets
    The Pink Fairies
    Little Feat

    also
    The Who, Squeeze, Floyd, Roy Hargrove Quintet, Kate and Anna, Faces, Kinks, Lizzy, and many more.

    Never liked Oasis because the singer has an irritating thin whiny voice.

    1. Camel - hard-edged prog, formed in 1972 and still going
    2. Caravan - stalwarts of the Canterbury scene, formed in 1968 and still playing
    3. Cream - soundtrack of my youth
    4. Magma - intense French band led by astonishing drummer Christian Vander; more like a weird dark cult
    5. Alkatraz - sadly overlooked Welsh stompers, active around 1978

    Utopia (although I prefer the first two prog/fusion albums when they were still known as Todd Rundgren's Utopia)

    I honestly need to think about the other four. Just looked all through my iTunes and it's mostly solo artists: Todd Rundgren (tons and tons and tons), Terry Reid, John Martyn, Pharoah Sanders, and so on.
