Well... "Your top ten artists" actually turns out to be a pretty vague
thing. Top 10 in what terms? I went for overall influence, but that's just
my interpretation. If it was on the basis of records being released now I'd
pick a completely different list (and it certainly wouldn't have Stevie
Wonder, P-Funk and... umm... Miles on it.) And if we just going to get into
instrumental chops... no, let's not go there, please :-)
