Who do you think is the greatest music artist of the 20th Century? + band

Artist - Bowie, obviously!

Band - hm, much more difficult. I think probably Pet Shop Boys.

Although there are so many other great bands I like, including Queen, The Clash, Human League, Japan, Psychedelic Furs, U2, Roxy Music, Eurythmics, Duran Duran & Kraftwerk.

Here's a question then: are certain musicians more appealing to autistic people than others? David Bowie appears to have plenty of votes on here (and I would concur with those voting for him) and Pink Floyd are up there (no surprise given that they devoted entire albums to mental health conditions). I would also suggest that hyperfocus and an autistic worldview might be very useful tools for creative musicians. As with professional sports people, there is probably a higher percentage of neurodiverse people within popular music than within the general population. I'd be astonished if the members of some of my own favourite bands were to fail to register anything on an autism diagnostic assessment were they to take one.

You just reminded me of one of my other favourite musicians who is autistic - David Byrne. I forgot to add Talking Heads to my list! Doh!
