Not many women on that list so I'll add a few. For jazz it's got to be Ella Fitzgerald but Annie Lennox is pretty good. Dusty Springfield, not so much the songs but wow what a voice. Eva Cassidy is up there as she sang with so much emotion in her voice and Katie Melua's good too.

Kate Bush. Sometimes mad as a box of frogs- sometimes brilliant , but always unique.

Fields of Gold by Eve Cassidy is such a great cover, one of the best.

Iron Maiden

Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Foos

The Cure

Paul Heaton 

Eagles

Rod Stewart

Everything Everything

Biffy Clyro 

Maiden were my first love and I still listen to them a lot, but if I had to have one band that I go back to time and again, it’s probably The Cure. Disintegration is an absolute masterpiece. Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me and Head on the Door take me back to being a teenager. Brilliant music, absolutely brilliant.

Lots listed already here but one glaring miss, Johnny "The master" Cash.

I hear the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine,
Since, I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,
And time keeps draggin' on,
But that train keeps a-rollin',
On down to San Antone.

When I was just a baby,
My Mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don't ever play with guns, "
But I shot a man in Reno,
Just to watch him die,
When I hear that whistle blowin',
I hang my head and cry.

New tune to run out too.  Think that applies to most of our games this season

Like @Mostyn6 I’m surprised at how my musical tastes have changed over the years.....Motown and soul, T. rex, Bowie,  free, stranglers, talking heads, cure, echo and the bunnymen, simple minds, Cocteau twins......back to Motown soul, Etta James, aretha Franklin, and Otis redding, Sam Cooke,  the Ronettes, John Lee hooker, dusty, Roy Orbison, Tony bennett, Johnny cash, British read jazz, 

currently listening to Cream

If I had one last song to listen to right now I’d choose.......

Mart Poom's penis

Derby's Estonian goalkeeper bruised his penis playing in a charity football match against Iron Maiden earlier this year. Poom, playing as a striker in the match, collided awkwardly with the heavy metal band's keeper as he headed in a goal.

Nico McBrain I believe. 

Cost him the maximum fine at the club as he missed a few games and had been told he couldn't play.

Einaudi features very heavily in the playlist I have for when I sit down to study or do some work.

Would never listen to that sort of music for anything else, but it's great for that particular purpose.

My safety net is Priest,Maiden etc.Love a bit of Journey(Frontiers).

As a one time guitarist I always go back to Paul Gilbert,Vinnie Moore,Tony Macalpine and the lord almighty Schenker.

 

A bit left field but I am listening to Peter frampton’s autobio and dug out the comes alive lp and it is reassuringly comforting.  Then I discovered he had a newish acoustic lp out and I’ve been listening to that and it is ace.  Great guitarist.  He was ‘touring’ with Bonamassa last year and there is a clip of them playing when my guitar gently weeps together which is worth a view
