Tried resisting the temptation to add to another list thread, but I give in...

In no particular order...

Mark Hollis, Captain Beefheart, Damo Suzuki, Lisa Gerrard, Scott Walker, Nick Drake, Lou Reed, John Lydon, Kate Bush, Mike Patton, Robert Wyatt, William Burroughs

Yes! Mike Patton. He's that rare thing. Most 'knowledgeable' music fans will dismiss him as a 'heavy metal bloke'. I think Angel Dust is one of the best produced white knucke rides you'll ever hear, and I do sort of dislike all things Kerrang, if you know what I mean. But Patton's got this great mixture of irony, pathos and drama, and enough beefcake to rile the idiots who don't get it. Oh and Scott Walker...Plastic Palace People. Heavenly.
