5. A shotgun scattering of styles and genres... but here it is.

Nothing too deep or obscure, but some of my faves, nonetheless.

1. John Mellencamp (home state boy)
2. Peter Gabriel (extremely cool human bein')
3. ABC (old college favorite)
4. REM (even when their lyrics were unintelligle)
5. U2 (especially their early 80's stuff)
6. Roxy Music (bryan Ferry was cool before Robert Palmer started wearin' the suit...)
7. Squeeze (I loved it when they sang WITH the accent...)
8. Spandau Ballet (schmaltzy, I know, but still)
9. Marvin Gaye (he awakened the social conscience of Motown)
10. Don Henley (timeless - Boys of Summer still sounds like it was written yesterday, and it is 20 years old)

I realize that it is relatively mainstream, but what the hell. I still like it anyway...

(Edited for screwed up spelling and bad apostrophe)

8. This can change, but..

The Beatles (#1)
Elvis

Zappa the best in my opinion.

the Kinks were terrific, maybe edging out Led Zepplin.
