Abba. Dancing Queen is an absolutely brilliant pop song.

Mr M likes Johnny Cash, he kind of grown on me too.
I didn't know much about her initially but her indoors played her albums quite a lot & dragged my along to a Pink gig at Manchester's MEN Arena as it was then.Pink was a singer I didn't think I liked, and when my sister in law presented me with her (Pink, not the s-i-l) greatest hits album for Christmas a few years back, I hope I managed to disguise my "WTF is this?" reaction. Having succumbed to actually putting it in the CD player, I discovered she is actually quite good.
I only found Neil Young off the back of Skynyrds Sweet Home Alabama lyrics
My boss is astonished that it took so long for me to get into John Mayer but, I have a small Eric Johnson obsession that I have harboured for several years now. Some music just passed me by. I haven't listened to Keith Urban for a while. I am off for a rummage around my CD box now.I have to add a +1 for @Saluki 's John Mayer, although with my musical taste I was always going to find his music, great guitarist who can switch effortlessly between blues/rock/country style.
Talking of country music, always hated it with a passion, however a good few years ago I discovered Aussie singer/guitarist Keith Urban while sitting watching a gig video in a bar in Pefkos, another great guitarist/singer who crosses over from country/rock.
Since the K. Urban discovery & only say 18 months or 2 years back I found Brad Paisley, dynamite country guitarist/singer.
& last but not least, I only found Neil Young off the back of Skynyrds Sweet Home Alabama lyrics, though this goes way back.
Seriously, for anyone with even an ounce of intetest in country or just great guitar work, check out Urban, Paisley & Mayer.
Bumbled through my formative years absolutely loving certain musicians / bands with no apparent reason until I saw Nile Rodgers on the Pharrell Williams / Daft Punk 'Get Lucky' song. I knew who he was, but didn't really know of his prolific influence until I carried out a wee bit of research. Initially kicked off with Sheila B Devotion 'Spacer' when I was a nipper, admired Chic, Sister Sledge, Diana Ross from afar, then Bowie, Duran Duran, Madonna, INXS, etc, etc......it all fell into place. The man is an absolute genius and is essentially the reason I play guitar today......just didn't know it when I started.
Dean Martin, Tony Bennett and most of the Crooners.
Hated the style of music/singing as a teenager. Love it now!
I was never really a fan of Rory Gallagher, I think it was cos I'd heard some of his studio records from the mid 70s on which the production was dreadful (and listening to those LPs or the CD versions of them they were so 'overproduced that all the 'soul' had been taken out of his playing) but Maz has always been a massive fan and eventually played me some of his 'good stuff' (far better live than was ever on the recordings)
All I can say is when Jimi Hendrix was asked by a journalist " What does it feel like to be the best guitarist in the world" his reply was "I dunno, you better ask Rory Gallagher"

I bought On The Boards on the strength of a single listen to Taste and I still listen to it. Does anyone remember Man? Welsh band from the early 70s, they live in the same subfolder of my brain that Taste occupy.I saw Taste live loads of times in the late '60s and early '70s. Much better live than studio, as you said.
