My favourite musicians (list was too long for NoHomers)
I've also included one song by each of them. I've tried to choose lesser known songs (i.e. deep cuts/non-singles), although that's not always the case, and have limited myself to one song per artist.
Note that my choice doesn't necessarily represent my favourite song by that artist, as Marge would say, I just think they're neat.
One day, I might add a separate section for classical, baroque and romantic composers.
