I can't remember which comic did a sketch, back when CD's had just came out, where a salesman is try to get him to buy a CD player and home entertainment system.

Not just an artist who changed the course of music but actually an accomplished singer. Songs like Irish Rover, The Auld Triangle and Fairytale of New York City have a wide melodic span between the highest and the lowest notes so you need good vocal range,which of course Shane McGowan had.

Rum, Sodomy and the Lash. One of the best albums ever made.
