Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.
Vocals: Colin Blunstone
I've always thought The Zombies' frontman had the greatest voice. He's a powerful singer and, although his tone is velvety, it's got a little bit of grit. He's very technically adept but he's got a lot of soul.
Drums: Levon Helm
He's widely regarded by every musician I know as a wonderfully rootsy drummer but with a really great feel. I hate using the word "pocket" but I'm going to use it anyway; he has a great pocket. And also he seemed like a great guy.
Bass: Paul McCartney
It's kind of an obvious choice but he's the greatest player ever. Great feel, but beautifully melodic and interesting in parts. He's an awesome musician.
Guitar: Michael Penn and Bonnie Raitt
Michael Penn is my husband and he is very underrated as a guitar player. The things that he chooses to play, are very interesting. I'd also like Bonnie Raitt because she has that more rootsy, country, languid sound and plays a lot of slide.
Keyboard: Elton John
He's just a fantastic rhythm player with a lot of muscularity. His playing is beautiful but there's a lot of strength throughout it too.
Aimee Mann's new album, 'Charmer', is out now
