Ok, again because no one asked, heres my list of most frequently listened-to artists. Note the disclaimers at the end. Im not Rolling Stone Magazine and wouldnt particularly want to be. This is who I most listen to and more importantly admire, basically with the admire part taking the forefront. Please feel free to post your own lists.

The Wallflowers 98. Pearl Jam 99. The Fixx 100. U2 Notes: These are MY favorite bands and artists. Your results may vary. I’m not rating anybody as “best” or “worst”, just by how often I listen to them and how much I like them. And I’m leaving out a LOT of other artists I like. That’s why it stops at 100. Otherwise you’d also see everybody from Billy Joel to Johnny Cash to INXS to Jefferson Airplane to Marshall Tucker Band to Garland Jeffreys to Ten Years After, all of whom are great but just not that high up on my “listening list.” Finally, I confess that my taste in music is about as proportionally narrow as the visible light spectrum is to the full spectrum: I dig rock (hard but melodic and NOT pop), blues, reggae and country
