Well, we just got a Queen DVD with all their videos, and it is a very good DVD with some brilliant songs on it (I've had Bohemian Rhapsody in my head ever since, definately one of the best songs ever), and Brian May's guitaring is also really good. I suppose that since Mike is such an amazing guitarist and instrumentalist, fans would like other amazing guitarists, and bands/artists which can do instrumental stuff. Pink Floyd, Yes, Moby, Sky and Rick Wakeman are my main interests, along with a singer called Harry Chapin (he wrote 'Cat's in the Cradle, which you might know) who writes amazing songs.
I would also recommend the music to Cirque du Soliel, the French-Canadian circus, which has lots of shows around the world. OK, anyone who has seen one of their shows will agree that the music is not in the forefront of your mind all the time, but the soundtrack albums are always really good. I also have an album by Steve Howe, the guitarist from Yes, called Natural Timbre, which is a beautiful all acoustic album, with a bit of drums and violin. Folk-rock band Steeleye Span is another one of my favourites, mainly because of the beautiful voice of Maddy Prior (who sang on Incantations), and Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds is always good to listen too. Justin Hayward's vocals with The Moody Blues are also amazing. The Beatles (now we're getting really before my time! ) do some amazing stuff, the best would be A Day in the Life, Strawberry Fields and Let it Be. David Bowie's Starman and Space Oddity are also favourites. Finally, on a chillout compilation (which also had Moonlight Shadow and the TB intro! ) I found Carlos Santana's Flor de Luna (Moonflower) which is a lovely guitar piece. Well, that's about it! Quite varied when I look at them all written down, but anything with amazing guitar or keyboard solos will usually be a winner. Mainly, I like songs which mean something, or have different subject matters to "ooh ooh I love you"
