      I misunderstood. I thought you were asking for musicians and all we get is a list of conductors?

          How is that?

          Conductors are musicians!!!!

          And using my list as an example:

          4 from 18 of my top ten musicians are conductors - HvK, Celi, Sir Roger and Sir Reginald

          1 is a composer and conductor - Lennie (the man on the Clapham Omnibus would view him as a composer and might realise he also conducted orchestras)

          3 Drummers - Ginger Baker, Tony Williams & Bill Bruford

          2 Electric Bass players - Jaco & Holger

          3 Vocalists - Johnny Rotten, Frank Sinatra & Freddie Mercury

          1 Guitarist - James Marshall Hendrix

          2 Pianists - Bill Evans & Glenn Gould

          1 Trumpet-blower - Miles Davis

          1 Saxophonist - Ornette Coleman

          Most of these musicians were significant composers.

            Even in your magical world of music, 18 isn't 10.

            And you forgot Alex Harvey. (Even though he didn't get a gong or a knighthood.Lets Imagine Alex meeting Brenda, for a moment.....)
            I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

            I am not a number, I am a free man.

                I think you misunderstand him
                I think what he meant was along the lines of

                "ho ho ho, I was a professional musician, and how we laughed at the incompetent fools who stood in front of us. With the exception of "Tommy", did I ever tell you what he said about Karlheinz ? ha ha ha , So witty and true"

                    Kindly discuss your UKIP obsession in the P&CA dungeon and do not attempt to derail this splendidly intellectual and fabulously interesting thread that I have given freely, to enhance people's lives.

                          It was my question and my rules - if you don't like it, I'll take my ball inside.

                          And, purely for information, every one of my 18 are top ten musicians of all time, in my opinion.

                            I didn't forget Alex - he's in the 'Bubbling-Under' list.

                              I'll refrain from "political" comments
                              BUT all there is to say is

                              More importantly most of them are coming over here, stealing our jobs without so much as a "by your leave".

                              O level maths was a long time ago but i'm sure you can't have 18 "top ten" musicians?
