Brian Eno :
Here Come The Warm JetsFirst released in January 1974,
Here Come The Warm Jets was
Brian Eno's debut solo release following his departure from
Roxy Music. The album draws on both his glam and prog roots but its experimental nature also made it quite unlike anything that'd ever come before. It was also to prove a huge influence on the best of the British punk and post-punk bands that followed it.

Phil Collins and

Brand X and, on viola,
The Velvet Underground's
