10 artists you couldn't bear to lose...
fr0g:
JoelSim: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.
Someone that can't listen to Elvis and likes the talentless George Michael indeed.....each to their own
fr0g: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...

You are quoting the wrong person. Although I really cant stand George Michael, calling him untalented is a little harsh. He is very good at what he does, wether you or I like him or not.
Elvis... Hmm Dont tell Thaiman, but I'm not keen either....you know what I'm sayin?

Elton John
Billy Joel
Motorhead
Yes
Bruce Springsteen

Don't think he has a particularly good or strong voice - each to their own as I said. Was going to go on about commercial pop vs undergound music but then noticed your list. I might be on the wrong forum.
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.
Don't concern yourself with the controversy, Clare. Just remember, ridicule is nothing to be scared of.
