Most impressed by:
Mike Oldfield

One hit wonders:
Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me With Science

Billy Joel - Turnstiles
BB King
Jethro Tull - Songs from the wood

if i could only hve 5 albums forever (some are double albums, but no box sets)
1. Frank Sinatra - "Sinatra Reprise -the very good years"
2. Hank Williams Jr - "Greatest Hits Vol 1"
3. Johnny Cash - "The Ultimate Collection"
4. Hank Williams Sr - "the complete collection"
5. Mercy Me - "10"

Bob Dylan - Blood on the track and Desire

 

I compare him to the true composers in our history. His only problem is he always adds a song to every album that mimics Tubular Bells.

Preview his newest album:Music Of The Spheres

"In this world, everything has a pulse or a vibration. This sound is unique to each living or non living thing and in itself creates a music that no-one can hear." Mike Oldfield
