@Matthew Kurt and Yngwie in the same list is so beautifully wrong. I love it. I would absolutely drink beer with you.
Vince Clarke,
Rob Hubbard (Commodore 64),
Paul McCartney.

@TozBourne I hear you on discovering new artists. With millions of past and present songs on streaming sometimes I get overwhelmed by the choices. I miss new artists and even new albums by my favorite artists!
Did you know St Vincent has a radio show on Apple Music's Beats 1? It's called "St. Vincent's Mixtape Delivery Service". The best thing is you can access playlists of all of her shows. Just double tap the Beats One logo.
I put a link to her show down below. If you haven't tried Apple Music yet it's free for 3 months.

@LFS Those guys are great. I like Stewart Copeland's soundtracks to The Equalizer and Wall Street. I think he used a Synclavier.
Sting's first 3 albums are classics especially Nothing Like the Sun. It's cool his band was all famous jazz musicians like Branford Marselis and Kenny Kirkland. His 1985 Bring on the Night documentary is out on Blu ray now. It has interviews with the jazz musicians and shows them rehearsing with Sting in Paris.
My favorite recollection from that is Branford Marsalis saying "Sting, your music is a mother fucker" as a jazz man's compliment and 1985 massive headed (and British) Gordon being offended.
All I want is to be next to you.
Actually it was a Fairlight CMI. At least for The Equalizer. Seems like his fairlight was for sale recently...

He probably uses the iPad version now;)
+1 for the story, but I take away half a point for the realization that that was thirty years ago godammit....
I'm good with +½, cheers.
Also, chronologically, Punk is nearer to WWII than Punk is to us now.
My ever-expanding, once blue-mohawk-covered bald spot and I say fuck you, reality bringer.
There simply can be no other response. Though, the New Romantics are next in line, in a few years.
Seems to be a pattern with Gordon. In the liner notes for the "Message in a Box" collection, Stewart (also not British) claims the inevitable breakup occurred after he "fatally offended" Sting during the "Don't Stand So Close To Me '86" session. God only knows what he said ... "Hey, Sting, I think your shoe's untied."
Excellent choice. I was quite tempted when this thread started up, myself
What I’ve often found interesting (and I don’t know why) is bands where the lead singer is also the drummer. There’s quite a few:
The Carpenters
Paper Lace
Agreed. Doesn't happen too often, but when it does, it's usually pretty groovy. I guess Don Henley would qualify, along with Canadian thrashers Exciter ...
Also: Dave Clark 5; The Monkees (sometimes);
And I thought The Osmonds, but not according to any youtube videos I’m looking at, of Crazy Horses, etc. However, it reminded me that Donny wasn’t the lead singer on that song, but he was surrounded by synths and keyboards, and then I remembered that he originally studied electronics, has a ham radio licence, and back then was prone to modifying his music equipment.
Gregory Isaacs, Public Enemy, 2 Unlimited.
Phil Colins when he took over the reigns from Peter Gabriel in Genesis. Also I forgot his name but the drummer from The Band sang some of their big songs like Night Drove Dixie Down and of course The Weight. Speaking of music docs I remember him from Martin Scorcesse's The Last Waltz. That movie kicked ass.
I can remember 2 Unlimited. No No... No No No No.... No No No No .......Theres no limit.
You must be from Holland.
Levon Helm. Not Virgil Cain.
Steve Reich, Aphex Twin, Nick Drake
Shaped me?
John Williams
Rancid
Outkast
Squarepusher. Aphex, Autechre,
ozric tentacles... (you didn;t see that it would be 4 then)
Cheers!
This one is quite a bit easier to answer; and I will answer to the letter of the question posed: Danny Elfman, Andy Partridge & MECO. Yes, MECO. No apologies - it was the day.
In chronological order (for me):
William Reid / The Jesus & Mary Chain
Blixa Bargeld / (particularly guitar playing in Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds)
Sonic Boom (aka Pete Kember) / Spacemen 3
Kevin Shields / My Bloody Valentine
Bob Dylan
Bernie Worrell / Parliament, Funkadelic
Lee 'Scratch' Perry (watershed Roast Fish & Cornbread and The Congoes)
King Tubby and Scientist
Lee Hazelwood
Panda Bear (aka Noah Lennox)
There, that's three.
Brian Eno
Mike Patton
Aphex Twin
But on a different morning it might have been a completely different list.
I'll throw in The Pet Shop Boys. I bought Disco first before Please for some reason. Used to listen to on my new Walkman cassette as a kid before I went to sleep.
3 is way too few !
Excuse me whilst I pontificate in no particular order.....
Zappa
Sun Ra
Lee Scratch Perry
Basil Kirchin
Fela Kuti
King Tubby
Hawkwind
Jon Hassell
Raymond Scott
Harmonia
Global Goon
Dick Hyman
Scientist

AFX
The Orb
Faust
Bill Fay
Vladislav Delay

All that 'unknown' sixties stuff - a la Rubble, Pebbles, etc, etc.
.....sorry, I feel greedy now.
