I've seen Elton John a few times. Grey Seal is another of my faves:

I like your idea to post your favorite tunes as it gives some insight into what makes people tick. That takes some guts. I've been busy but will add a small list in the next couple of days if OK...

Im mainly a black music fan - soul, jazz, reggae, hip hop, etc.

Seems in Cyprus they only like commercial music.
