Maybe 110 sounds a lot but tbh the list could have kept growing and growing so I had to say enough was enough somewhere and it's not like the artist(e)s are even aware of my own individual musical tastes so it's not like those that sadly missed out will undergo any undue heartache over it.
There'll be a few different genres encompassed in the list, lots of recognisable names (with maybe one or two that might be new to some) and plenty of very well known tracks alongside some that might be regarded as lesser lights.
I picked a track from each artist that I personally like, not necessarily my favourite track but one I feel is at least in someway representative. I also limited myself primarily to artist(e)s/tracks that impacted on me during my formative years, hence only 27 of them are from 1980 or later - with the latest being a little bit of a cheat from 1987 but I simply couldn't bring myself to leave that particular young Icelandic lady out of the mix.
I'll be listing by artist in alphabetical order btw, selecting them was tough ... ranking them nigh on impossible.
So without further ado ....
