....ARTISTS

U2They've managed to remain on top for more than 20 years by bringing out good stuff all the time. And Bono has said that the next album will be a change, so I'm looking forward to that.

Elvis PresleyThe blueprint of every pop star that came after him. Those late 1950s/early 1960s songs were terrific. He ruined himself a bit by going into the Las Vegas cabaret years.

The BladesI think Paul Cleary was a brilliant songwriter, and the band just missed out on the chance to be huge. They really could have been if they'd had the luck.

Thin LizzyThey were just a great classic rock band. Phil was great - looked fantastic, looked the part.

David BowieBrilliant in every way; another fella who reinvented himself several times and came back and back, and can still bring out some very good stuff.
