Well, everybody else I know seems to like musicians who are either 
regarded as classic examples of modern music or who are generally 
regarded as more cult-like. So, my own tastes might seem a bit odd - if 
any of you like any of this stuff, I'd really like to get involved in 
some heavy discussions on it... so here's my list...

1. Kate Bush
2. Chris Isaak
3. Del Amitri
4. Tori Amos (mainly pre-"Boys for Pele", although I like some of it, 
   about 7 or 8 tracks
5. erm, I'll reserve this one for what sort of mood I'm in... at the 
   moment, I'll say Peter Gabriel, but if I'm feeling particularly happy, 
   it'd be some kind of '80s soul/dance, maybe Whitney Houston or Alexander 
   O'Neal.

Anyway, I can't wait to see what other people like.

Alan.
