Sorry if this brings the level down a notch or two, and there possibly could be alternative reasons for my choice beyond musical talent, but always bring out a smile with Britney.
And she has had hard times with her mental health and problematic family relationships too, but the ultimate pop sensation for me.
Sorry ladies and gentlemen, perhaps i am a tiny bit shallow, but i like shallow myself !!!

The Carpenters
Not on rainy days though .....
Or Mondays?
My own favourite is Starsailor,who I’m going to see for the umpteenth time tonight in Naarwich.Their first album was brilliant,and who cares if they’re still playing it live 25 years later.
Status Quo. Specifically 1970-1976 (Dog Of Two Head; Ma Kelly; Piledriver; Quo; On The Level; Blue For You; Live!). What a great run, before the coke and Pip bloody Williams-produced albums.
I know, I know, I'm banned etc...

It would have to be Half Man Half Biscuit - mostly for some of their lyrics and the flip side of the Back in the DHSS album credits (we may need Mr Christ for the Ashes):
Without whom ... etc....
Mathew Kelly: Housewives' favourite. Should've been a racehorse. Little & Large: Dismal combo who pester kids at pantomimes. Lionel Blair: T.V.'S first emetic Keith Harris: Bubbly, bestial, boring. Eartha Kitt: Less interesting than Araldite. Wendy Craig: The girl with the antiseptic smile. Una Stubbs: ... See Lionel Blair. Fred Titmus: / * / * / * ? Nerys Hughes: Ruined acting career by wearing tasteless bell bottoms in the Liver Birds. Peggy Mount: Tender, caring, loving, Pipped Rita Webb to the 'Miss Carnage' title recently. Ali Bongo: Performs all things impossible - Hell of a Guy! Len Ganley: Godfather of Punk. Bobb Todd: Someone who did n't deserve to be on This is your Life. Jimmy Clitheroe: Dead; apparently. Jesus Christ: Right arm, over the wicket.
Those possessed by devils, try and keep them under control a bit, can't you ?

I get that when people ask me what football club I follow. I’ve always liked the Bee Gees which goes for very much against the grain of what I usually like.

With me it's a look less of incredulity and more 'who the hell is that?'. Try some of the following on people (without whom, of course, we wouldn't have rock'n'roll)
Rosetta Tharpe Bo Diddley Ruth Brown Lloyd Price Arthur Crudup Johnny Otis Henry Byrd (Professor Longhair)

As ever with threads like this, the gist of the question goes over some people's heads and they decide to flex their outre credentials by naming obscure artists instead.
It needs to be popular well-known stuff where folks say "WTF!? You like them/that???? and NOT "Eh, never heard them/their output".
I think Glenn Cambell would be mine.

Too many to mention. Most of our friends who like their music are still living in the 70s , 80s and 90s. Whereas I have put together playlists for the last 10 years from songs released in that year. Most of the artists are a mystery to friends. This year's includes Emma Jane Thackeray Wet Leg and HAAI

Supertramp would be one of mine. The musicianship, dynamics and tension in this piece are superb, in my humble opinion. Some strong guitar parts too.
I've never seen one musician hand a musical note over to another but that happens here, when Hodgson switches from keyboard to electric guitar and Helliwell takes over on the keyboard, the relevant key remaining held down during the changeover. Gosh!

I've just stumbled across HAAI - really like the music. Although not what the thread's about really.

Half Man Half Biscuit are national treasures. Never apologise. Every one else is wrong
