This the first time I've ever seen Stereolab and Laura Nyro come up come up in a forum question like this. Which is why I think you must be an awesome, awesome person. Not to mention Cocteau Twins and Tortoise. These are all excellent choices. You are awesome.

1. Sting. I don't really listen to his music, but I am so in love with the fact he does it.

2. Nickelback. If you ever get a chance to listen to them, Photograph is a masterpiece. The lyrics are next level, and that Chad guy is easy on the eyes.

3. Creed. Mark is the most talented guitarist.

4. Ludvig Van Beethovon. I better than you cause I listen to classical music. I'm sophisticated. You'll never be as cultured as me am. I feel so sorry for you. 7th and 9th, oh yeah. Go back to your Beetles, noob.

5. Scott Stapp (solo). I recently found Scott Stapp's (Creed) solo work. Unreal, guys. Such a beautiful voice. Such intelligent, straight to the heart lyrics. ♥

LMAO
