Anyone like his music, I use to listen to him a lot growing up. He's the reason I love New Wave and Synth-pop.

The only song I know of him is 'Cars' which is pretty cool...mind you I only heard about it via Fear Factory's cover of the song.

He has many great songs that are so underrated. Back then people thought he was a weirdo today he would be King. But its shame he hasn't released good album in years.

I much prefer John The Gardener, but nyeh.
Too much leather chair is unsightly and greatly increases your risk of leather-smell.

Gary Numan is fantastic, and really quite the pioneer, one of the first people to take synth music into a poppy vein, though Kraftwerk did have The Model in 1979 which is quite a poppy little number. Really good too. I love the first Tubeway Army record, Are Friends Electric?, Down In The Park, Replicas, it's chock full of fantastic little numbers.

I really need to more of his stuff at some point but Replicas is the only record I own.

He's my biggest inspiration when it comes to music. Are Friends Electric? is one of my favorite tracks from him, love cars of course and many other songs.

But Are Friends Electric is my favorite though. Heard a good quality remastered version and man it was good. It gives me eargasms.

Having to use that song song during my ensemble work last year made me hate it more than I already did. I would have KILLED for KT Tunstall, but nooo, class decision only just got that excuse for a 3 minute trip of redundancy.

To be fair, Jools Holland's show is a really great format, and if it weren't for the fact every show seems to have at least one act I really don't like I'd watch it more often. I've "discovered" two or three bands from that show in the past on the few occasions I've actually sat down to watch it, and occasionally caught a good live set from someone I already like (Flaming Lips spring to mind, oh and David-motherfucking-Byrne).

I don't deny that there are good artists on Jools Holland, but it's pretty hit and miss, more on the miss side of thing really. And I just think that old dude who presented the Old Grey Whistle Test was awesome. As was the shows name.

I had a 45 of "We are glass" when i was little that I wore out. I like a lot of his tunes especially his singles. But he's a little bit hit miss

I have the beserker (live) DVD but it's a bit dull rly

About the best lp i think was replicas with Tubeway army. I don't mind the lp Bill Sharpe of Shakatak either
