| The Beatles. What, not high up enough for you? Well, maybe, but they're just not my favourites. Ok, they were pretty original, quite talented, had a lot of cool stuff to say after their period of being the original boyband. They ow a huge amount to their producer, George Martin, but the were pretty cool. Well, Vicky is the real Beatles fan, and has recently thought she is in love with Paul McCartney. She is now, sadly, living with a rather annoying texan who has little to do with the Beatles, but he seems to think they like him... They did some good songs and influenced most of the world, so I feel they deserved at least a number 6 in my little rundown of cool. In memory of John Lennon and George Harrison., two legends. |

| Mr Robbie Williams!!! Say what you like about Take That, call him a fat dancer as much as you want Mr Gallagher, doesnt make him any less fantastic. Well, yes, he did burst into fame at a tender age as part of the er something boyband Take That, but since single handedly destroying the same band, he has gone from strength to strength, to slightly dodgy swing album, to (hopefully) a return to strength. He has cowritten some fantastic songs, including No regrets, Pheonix from the flames, Jesus in a camper van, and let me entertain me, not forgetting the beautiful angels. Mention must go to his MD, Guy Chambers, doing a fantastic job on quite a lot of instruments, mainly keyboards. Robbie is yet to conquer the US, but at home he rules supreme, and is probably coming out with some of the best new music around. |

| Richard Ashcroft and The Verve. Ok, so they didnt exactly do huge amounts, but wasn't what they did beautiful? The drugs don't work makes me cry. What imagery! Like a cat in a bag waiting to drown. And though Richard Ashcroft's solo career hasnt exactly taken off, I have been led to believe that most of the fantasticness of the Verve was his doing, so well done Mr Ashcroft. And the strings! I love strings!!! They have loads of them. absolutely wonderful! Bitter Sweet symphony! Amazing. And the album was called Urban Hymns. What a great name for an album. Well diserved number 8 lads. |

| Mr Jimi Hendrix! He basically invented inventive electric guitar playing. The original virtuoso, fantastically talented, he's actually toured with the monkees. Now talk about surprising pop fans... Well, there's not a huge amount you can say about Hendrix, except wow! I am seriously lacking in Hendrix in my record collection, something that I am at this moment working to solve. In memory of Jimi Hendrix (1942 - 1970) |
