What musical artist/band sticks out and impresses you the most?

Metallica because they are one of the best heavy metal bands of all time. Despite what some people say they have not sold out. they have only evolved and grown up and their music grew up with it.

Queen and U2

I really like Rasputina, for their melding of history lessons in their music and dress, and for putting classical music into rock.

Leonard Cohen. His lyrics are wrought with honesty. I also love Bob Dylan and Neil Youg.
I think Muse are an incredibly talented band. Queen of course too.

All of the bands or singers that I like stand out in one way or another, one isn’t necessarily higher than the others. There are some groups that I prefer at different times, but I wouldn’t say that it’s all the time. Amy Winehouse, however, would be close.

I know that she’s a mess, but have you heard her voice?! It’s raspy, it’s sultry, it’s just amazing and I can’t get enough of it.

There is alot that stick out to me as well. Honestly Radiohead never ceases to blow me away.

I was just going to say Radiohead. Can’t wait for their new album, out this year!! I don’t know how it’s going to top their last few though. In Rainbows was something else.

@lemming after Ok Computer… In rainbows is my 2nd fav. then the Bends.. I dont think they have ever put out a bad album

TOOL.

@ladymia69, love Rasputina, they really are unique and complex.

@ANef_is_Enuf Manard has the most amazing voice I have ever heard hands down. He is almost super human. He can sing in a small room and his voice still has a cathedral sound and acoustic to it.

@Twinkletoes22 I couldn’t agree more. ;) Truth of the matter is, every time I’ve seen him perform live, I was moved to tears.

@ANef_is_Enuf I have never seen him live but just listening to tool and a perfect circle cds give me cold chills.

Gorillaz. They are awesome!

@XOIIO Yeah the Gorillaz are pretty awesome… Del tha funkee homasapien is my favorite underground hip hop artist for sure

Anything Jack White is involved with is golden. This man is amazing.

@Twinkletoes22 totally! I love the SNES stylo remix! only good use of autotune yet. Rhinestone eyes is badass too!

@jonsblond Dead leaves on the dirty ground is one of my favorite songs.

@Twinkletoes22 I’m watching tv, but now I want to listen to his music. :)

@jonsblond Did you happen to watch the documentary ‘It Might Get Loud’? It’s pretty good and Jack White is in it.

David Byrne and the Talking Heads

@BarnacleBill The Talking Heads is one of my favorite groups of all time. David Byrne is a genius. I love to watch his interviews.

@Twinkletoes22 I haven’t seen it. I’ll have to look for it. Thanks for the recommendation!

@jonsblond Yeah if you are a Jack White fan you will def enjoy it. It tels about his inspirations and so forth..

The Replacements.

The Beatles

U2

Brian Wilson

Yo-Yo Ma

Led Zeppelin

Isaac Clarke vs the Necromorphs
They’re are so underground that they don’t even exist.

Ray Charles

Snow Patrol is a great band. Pretty much anything Gary Lightbody touches is amazing.

Second on Led Zeppelin

The Beatles
Paul Simon
Linda Ronstadt
The Talking Heads

These artists constantly reinvented themselves, changing styles and crossing boundries of musical genres.

Barbra Streisand, her voice is the most emotionally voice I have ever heard.

I just got into Beirut. I love the layering of instruments in different rhythms…so interesting to listen to. Also Zach, the creator, is wicked hot.

The Beatles,Norah Jones,Willie Dixon,Billie Holiday,Frank Zappa and Stevie Ray Vaughan to name of few of many.
