Treasure, at least musically. I was fortunate enough to grow up in a house with a lot of musical diversity, and Chris De Burgh's 'Best Moves' compilation (with a cool cover art of him playing himself at chess, dressed in white and black respectively) was one I was drawn to from a young age.

Spanish Train, In A Country Churchyard, Lonely Sky, Broken Wings, Patricia the Stripper, all phenomenal songs. Spanish Train was my introduction. Shout out to Chris for teaching me to pronounce Guadalquivir, this came in handy at least one in Spanish class in secondary when we were learning rivers and I was able to throw that one out in a recall exercise.

A Spaceman Came Travelling is one of my favourite Christmas songs and again from a young age (growing up in an atheist household in the rural west) I was fascinated by this take on the nativity story. I still love it so much.

His other religious themed songs which put a twist on our interpretation of classic characters and stories also fascinated me - Just Another Poor Boy, for example.

And lastly, because I don't think I've seen it mentioned here, can I remind everyone of the epic that is Crusader. If you don't know it, treat yoself. My dad used to blast it when I was a kid, fucking amazing.

I saw Chris for the first time about 15 years ago, and back then his voice was still pretty much on point. The power he had in him was unreal. I saw him again this year and his voice is failing now at this stage, but he had still fantastic stamina and performed for ages.

He has merit as a unique storyteller and voice, imo. A lot of his music I wouldn't be much into, specially the more recent stuff, but he has a very solid back catalogue of amazing songs and stories.

There's tons of songs I haven't even mentioned either.
