Sweet anon, is 3am here so I’ll list you only the one I remember like Morrissey (more than The Smiths), New Order, Depeche Mode, Elton John, U2, Lou Reed, The Cars, Oasis of course!, Bruce Springsteen, Mark Knopfler, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Jhonny Cash, Pet Shop Boys, I even remember in an article he said he has a crush in Tina Turner so I guess he liked her at some point hahahaha
and I’m sure much more! is just if is was more early I would do a search in google for interviews and q&a of him about that :)
ps. I’m not expert, sometimes I forget his birthday ahaha
