By that token, Tom Jones, surely?

No, it's much older. It's in the background of an episode of The Young Ones, and he sings something about rain coming down.

Someone told me it was Cliff. I'm not even sure of that though, to be honest.

I'm glad you didn't add Elvis Costello to that list. I assume some of you would figure him to be of the like.

Where is Bruce? Aha.

BS.

Bruce, you may note, isn't British, unlike the rest of the list.

Unless you mean Forsythe, of course.

Oh, I didn't realize that until now.

By the way Glice, your sounds were strangely like a lullaby, especially during a rainy night. The melody during the first half of the first track, sweet. I liked it very much! I burned that shit onto CD today!

Elton John

not a gulity pleasure at all, one of the greatest songwriters (with Bernie Taupin) of all time

It shouldn't be a guilty pleasure, that's not what I meant at all. I like Sting because he's class, it's as simple as that.

It just occurred to me that it's hard to square these people's record sales and financial success with the fact that you very rarely meet anyone who proclaims themselves to be a fan.

Excellent, glad to hear it.

I like Clapton. Or, better, I like Layla and Cocaine.

tough one! i wouldn't go as far as saying i actually like one of these artists... i can't really vote for the last option either because just occasionally there's some song that stucks in my head. a few months ago there was even this robbie williams song i liked. i can't see myself ever liking anything by cliff richard though, he's always annoyed me to great ends. if i had to pick one of these options i'd go for george michael i guess.

e.c.

the last option.

elton john! i fucking love elton john, but only his stuff up until the early 70s.

I can understand if people don't exactly make any of these top priority, but everyone really should own them. They are all very good recordings.

I'll post them from best to least best.

I'd do George Michael.

In case you haven't heard, George Michael is now officially the horniest man alive.
