Jackie Leven was in a late seventies early eighties band called Doll by Doll that made a few albums for Magnet Records also several singles. The albums eventually surfaced on CD last year!!

His solo stuff is (I Think) is bloody marvelous, he gets classed as folk/rock which loosely covers it.....

I've seen Jackie Leven live a few times, and he's fabulous.

But reading through the thread... CHER!?!?! Is that a joke?

The original question asked was who would you regard as being the top ten all time greatest artists but quickly became a list of peoples FAVOURITE artists. Not the same thing but typical of what happens in a poll like this.

Muddy Waters
Buddy Guy
John Coltrane
Charlie Parker
Chuck Berry
Dave Brubeck
Duke Ellington
Bob Dylan

Cannot give an absolute favourite of my favourite popular artistes, it's too close to call but it would be in amongst the following:

Leonard Cohen
Melanie
Eric Clapton
The Beach Boys
Elkie Brooks
Frank Sinatra
Ella Fitzgerald
Carole King
Procol Harem
Bob Dylan
Thin Lizzy
Joni Mitchel
Santana
Meat Loaf just has to be up there (play him in the car all the time)
Eddie Cochran (because one of his 'records' was the first I ever purchased as a gal)

You can probably guess I was a 60s/70s girl and still have all my LPs and singles.

I am assuming you don't want favourite opera stars.

Ooh, this is a toughie, I have soooooooo many favorites, but my top 10 at this moment would have to be:

Stan Getz
Elton John
Billy Joel
Carlos Santana
The Beatles
Charlie Bird Parker
Dizzy Gillespie
Phil Collins
Nat King Cole
Billie Holiday

Jazz buff here, but that's par for the course for an old sax player.

Best wishes for many sales to all,
