Act Wow, what a hard question. Elbow have been consistently brilliant. But then again, so have U2, though their lead singer is a {quote deleted}. AIR, the "French band", have produced the best album ever. Oasis are, simply, brilliant but their lead singer was also a {quote deleted}. Meatloaf would do anything for love, but he would clearly lose a fight to the Rolling Stones. My money would be on John Cage: his most successful record was 4'33 of silence, and there is a lot to be said for making something out of nothing.
Genre Depends on my mood. If you pushed me into a corner I suppose my happiest memories have an electronic house soundtrack.
Era The 60's and 70's away (Northern Soul always makes me smile), the 90's at home (imagine life with out Warren G's Regulate; Snow's Informer; Alison Limerick's Where Love Lives etc.)
Song of all time Chav Master Rap
Song at the moment Don't really have one at the mo
And your worst…
Act Jedward - murder is not my style, but if it was...
Genre R&B - so disconnected from it's musical roots; so disconnected from social reality; I wish I could disconnect my ears when Lee plays it.
Era Agree with Stacey: Music today is seriously depressing.
A song to make you…
Smile In a little while, U2 (the first dance at the wedding to my amazing wife, Becky.)
Dance The Joker, Steve Miller Band
Relive your youth White Snake's Is This Love
Best gig ever... Soul Wax at the Warehouse Project, Manchester, 2008 - still get tingles thinking about it!
The music industry of today is… called iTunes, has Simon Cowell's hair, Lady Gaga's dress sense, and none of the brilliance of the creative talents it exploits.
Bring back... Tony Wilson

Genre Is The X-factor a genre now? Pop!! It was fun in the 80's and 90's but now it's mostly recycled acts that are never as good as the original
