I suppose I could have grouped Sting/Police and Neil Finn/CH together, but honestly, I always have a hard time getting up to 10 for these things, rather than trying to decide who to leave out. Particularly the last two--I don't listen to Simple Minds or especially ELP a lot these days.

-The Coral: The Coral
-DJ Shadow: Private Press
