Sorry, couldn't resist a sneaky top 20. This list comes from five years worth of Lastfm data. Rufus Wainwright has essentially been a sitting duck on my list for about four years so John Cale, Valentina Monetta and co will overtake him very soon. Kurt Vile also tells me he wants that silver finish
He knows not to aim for gold because dear Nico will never be surpassed. I'm pretty sure she'll always remain the artist closest to my heart. In fact, that's wrong. Nico is my heart.
Yes, I know i'm obsessed.
