1. Kate Bush (30 points)
2. Peter Hammill (20 points)
3. David Bowie (15 points)
4. Terje Rypdal (12 points)
5. Vangelis (10 points)

It took me a week to decide who was going on my list before I posted this poll, and I'm still adding to the Bubbling Under section, even as we speak. Smile


Every time I think my list is ready to be posted. I have another top ten list to choose from again. But here’s my list.
1. Jimi Hendrix
2. David Bowie
3. Carlos Santana
4. Eric Clapton
5. Vangelis
6. Jean-Michel Jarre
7. Mike Oldfield
Friedrich Nietzsche: "Without music, life would be a mistake."



Music Is Live

Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.



Keep Calm And Listen To The Music…
