What music do the musical artists listen to? The beautiful thing about the medium is what a collaborative effort it is, with each new release contributing to the great well of inspiration and evolution.

Of course, her work is probably on many other people's own top 10 lists, thanks to her work as part of Fleetwood Mac.
