Who's your favorite artist?

[oh poptart]

what are your favorite bands/artists/etc?

really id like lists so i could learn about more music but idk thats against the rules i suppose. grrrr

my favorite band is probably mgmt, or the artist james blake. both are relatively unknown in the grand scheme of things, though mgmt is a bit more mainstream definitely. mgmt has a very psychedelic flair to its music while james blake is bordering dubstep, otherwise i wouldnt know what to define him as.

I tend to lean more towards 80s Rock than anything. In particular, I'm absolutely in love with David Bowie's work, I think his music is AMAZING <3 I also love Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Queen, and Oingo Boingo.

 

[Know-Nothing Bozo the Non-Wonder Dog]

It's so hard to pick a favorite... But I think I'd have to say Jefferson Airplane. Grace Slick just has such a nice voice. <3 Their songs are pretty catchy too, I get them stuck in my head all day.

[Rogue planet]

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

goes from very slow and sad to aggressive, not very extravagant but still enough to be interesting, mainly lyrically based, either harshly down to earth or ridiculously out of this world, " explore his obsessions with religion, death, love, America, and violence"

My favorite artist is Freddie Mercury and it will always be him.
He has an amazing singing voice, he's talented and the songs he sung were outstanding.

Bowling. For. Soup. They are capable of writing both hilarious songs and songs that just make you want to cry. Bon Jovi is a close second, though.

I have a lot of favorite artists. But I would have to say David Bowie is my overall favorite artist. He has such a large discography, very distinctive voice, and a huge musical innovator. It's nearly impossible to find a band/artist who was not influenced by him.

Probably Green Day, based on number of songs and how many times I play them, but Taio Cruz is my favourite single performer. Green Day has that alternative guitar/drums mix that I love so badly, especially in Boulevard of Broken Dreams and When I Come Around, and Taio Cruz is the techno/pop side of me, and Break Your Heart probably is the best at that.

Basically, my favorite artist changes from time to time, I don't mean like I change it but something better comes up and makes me wanna like it more than the one that I actually like or stan for. :3

As of this moment, my favorite artist is Rihanna.

Myyy favorite is Vampire Weekend. I generally don't listen to full artists because I'll like 1 or 2 of their songs and then get disappointed by the rest but I love pretty much all of their songs. :B

Rihanna is my favorite artist, but she's not definitely my musical inspiration. I just enjoy listening to her music, if your going to ask me it'd be Amy Winehouse to be honest.
