Wow! I'm amazed by our common artists. You actually don't have Dylan and the Beatles, which I thought were staples on everyone's lists. But after that you have my next 8 favorite artists, including some pretty obscure / unpopular stuff (minus Harry Nilsson so you gotta give him a try!).
I'm sure there's no else with the Lanois, DMB, VW, Sting combo... very nice! Given our similarities, what would you recommend most from your list that I don't know? Cuz there's a lot
