It is indeed strange how human beings can have such differing tastes. I for one, wouldn't listen to Elvis if it was the only CD I owned, nor Buddy Holly et al. R&R just leaves me completely cold. Interesting to see a couple of people liking Marillion. I used to listen to them when I was a teenager and actually I may just go out and purchase to see if I'll still enjoy them now, I would imagine I will.

My 10 are:

Stone Roses
Groove Armada
Everything But The Girl
Jack Johnson
Talk Talk
The Beautiful South
Fleetwood Mac
George Michael
Leftfield
Massive Attack

Phew!

Indeed.
And I have only just discovered Talk Talk... Not the New romantic stuff, but Spirit of Eden, Laughing Stock, and in fact just bought the Mark Hollis album too. They fit in really well with my passion for post-rock.
As for the rest...
Not keen on EBTG, jack Johnson, TBS. Detest George Michael. Not keen on Fleetwood Mac, but I like the other stuff.

Sort of a follow on from Mr penguin... Name 10 artists of any kind that you currently value as part of your listening experience, more than any others... For me, currently...(not in any order) My Exit Music EF David Gray Boards of Canada Sigur Ros Biosphere Explosions in the sky Mark Lanegan Marillion (with Fish) The Orb

Hmm: they've just missed my TOP 10 ! I would go for:

- Madlib

- Joy Division

- Felix Laband

- Ryuichi Sakamoto

- Thievery Corporation

- Incubus

- The Roots

- The The

- Future Sound Of London

- Linton Kwesi Johnson

 Just a quick list: but there are so many, is so much more...

Someone that can't listen to Elvis and likes the talentless George Michael indeed.....each to their own

I don't particularly like George Michael (he has made a couple of excellent albums) but how can you call him talentless?? He has a very good voice and among plenty of others, he has written Careless Whisper, A Different Corner, Jesus To A Child......

Ooh, another list I haven't done yet....Though it oddly feels as if I have.

Here's my current 10, in no particular order:

Elvis Presley

Elvis Costello

Frank Sinatra

Simon & Garfunkel (including Paul Simon solo stuff)

The Beatles (inc solo ventures. Well, maybe apart from Ringo).

Dusty Springfield

Marvin Gaye

Smokey Robinson (as a songwriter as well as performer - he penned more Motown classic than you'd think)

Johnny Cash

...and leaving the most contraversial to last...

Adam Ant.
