Some excellent songs there, Heart Shaped Box, Lucky Man, Africa and No Diggity are some of my faves.

I've seen him perform live on a number of occassions. An absolute legend.

Ambient trance can sound horrendously tacky and forced when in the wrong hands, but with a man like Ulrich Schnauss what you get is blissful, hypnotic music, washing over you with beautiful layers of melody.

The way they enfused electronic dance rhythms and beats with driving guitar riffs has never been equalled. Dig Your Own Hole is a masterpiece.

Daft Punk. Sweet. :D

My favourite of Dempsey's - Kilburn Stroll - isn't on youtube so this one will have to do for the time being. Still a very catchy song though.

A genius as far as I'm concerned who's hopeful music, which actually was of huge inspiration to the civil rights movement in America, contrasted so pointedly with his impoverished background. Curtis Mayfield is an artist I'll always have a great deal of affection and respect for.

Louis Armstrong was in very poor health when John Barry approached him to pursuade him to sing one of his main themes for On Her Majesty's Secret Service, so much so in fact that on the day everyone feared that the man wouldn't be able to perform. Such worries were short lived once the great man got up to the microphone and what we have now is a beautiful last song to remind us of the magic the man possessed.

lyrics to tribute - tenacious d!

Jaysus, I'm asleep!

I did have Bohemian Rhapsody up but you know, I actually prefer listening to this little gem, plus Bowie was involved which always elevates any work for me.

I'd probably go for Once in a Lifetime but there's no proper versions of it on youtube. Anyway, this is just as good. They're quality full stop really.
