THE CLASH (that one rates all caps, sorry)
HELL YEAH! ALL CAPS FOR SURE! DON'T BE SORRY!
......John Graham Mellor (aka Joe Strummer) is about as cool as they come; next to Stewart of course!
What other artists do we like?

Every time you read the next list you say to yourself "CRAP?!" how could I leave them out !!!
That's why it fun to list...say 20 acts, it makes you pick the first ones that come to mind.
You could never name them all, like movies...on and on.
I didn't list any of the heavier rock bands I grew up with. I should have done 5 from each catagory.
Heavyish Rock: Van Halen, AC/DC, Led Zepp,Queen.
Bluesish: Leadbelly, Muddy Waters,Clapton
Folkish: Bob Dylan,Woody Guthrie, Brett Dennen,Joan Biaz
Reggaeish: Marley/Tosh, English Beat, UB40,Stephen Marley
New Wave: Big Country, Squeeze, Joe Jackson (old)
Adult mellow: Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bing,Sammy Davis jr
Bluegrass: Osbourne Bros, Ricky Skaggs, Stanley Bros.
HipHopish: Public Enemy, Ice T (old), Grand Master Flash.
R&B Soul Funkish: James Brown,Sly and the Family Stone, The Funk Bros (the studio guys who played on all the old motown hits)
It's easier when you break it down.
Cheers.

Well, if I may be so bold, I think we discovered one certainty so far: none of us seem limited to a single genre of music in which we find enjoyment. That's very cool.
I think the fact that we all love the Police kind of pegs us as being able to appreciate a multitude of musical influences.

Talking Heads – See how the tail can wag the dog
The Beatles – A soap impression of his wife which he ate and donated to the National Trust
Graham Coxon – I just don't believe anything I say
The Divine Comedy – I met a girl, she was a frog princess and yes I do regret it now. But how was I to know that just one kiss could turn my frog into a cow?
Ben Folds – What if I was born 50 years before you in a house on street where you lived.

I almost forgot one of my favourite, now disbanded underdogs of all time...The Replacements.
Seen them in Seattle towards their end of days. Paul Westerberg's solo material is good but doesn't hold a candle to the Mats.

Always a next to impossible exercise, but here goes:
(Other than Stewart/The Police)
U2
REM
Dire Staits
Talking Heads
Bruce Springsteen
Don Henley
John Lennon
Peter Gabriel
Green Day
Snow Patrol
John Mayer
Joe Jackson
Tori Amos
Melissa Etheridge
The Killers

It might be fun to have everyone add one CD in their collection that they like...but are also sort of embarassed by. I'll come clean with ABBA's Greatest Hits!

Heh. Caps are okay in posts, PRule. It's just a bit of unwritten, assumed decorum that one should avoid writing the whole title of a thread in all caps because that is one of Stewart's trademarks.
As embarrassing titles goes, I feel like I should say The Pet Shop Boys -- but they're fun as hell, so I'm not embarrassed. I've got the whole collection of The Monkees (on cassette) -- but nope, I still like some of them as well. Hmm . . .
I think I'm more embarrassed by the things that I don't own but should.
