Favourite Artists

Post by Xavier870 »

Obviously everyone here loves Our Lady Peace's music, but just for fun, what music does everyone listen to other than OLP? Specific artists please. I like Goo Goo Dolls, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Creed.

Last night I listened to the choral part of Beethoven's 9th twice at 3 am...I also like Copland, Holst, Stravinsky and Tchaikovsky.

BNL
Great Big Sea (duh)
Train
Evan and Jaron
John Mayer
Rolling Stones
Beach Boys
Brothers Creeggan
Kevin Hearn and Thin Buckle
Indigo Girls
Travis
Paul Simon with or without Art Garfunkel

All I can think of for now...

I have one CD case with BNL, GBS, BC, TB, OLP, one Rheostatics CD, one Alanis CD, and one Bryan Adams CD. (Also Boyce's Road and La Bottine Souriante.) I need a larger Canadian CD case.
