Random poll: Favorite music artist

<p>what do you think about the new yeah yeah yeahs album?</p>

<p>Props to jessetfan, herecomesthesun, and prophasi! My parental unitrecently saw him in concert January they said he was awesome. Piano man- a drunk song? Hahahahaha! I love all types of music, I'm always in the mood to try something new. Yeah herecomestheson, I can always use another buddy! Oddly enough none of my friends share my music style- perhaps bits and pieces. The closest person I know is my stepdad. I forgot to mention 2 Pac, Run DMC, Jay-Z, and Public Enemy.</p>

<p>Having a favorite band/artist just shows that you don't listen to very much music. I don't see how someone can have a favorite band, let alone a favorite song.</p>

<p>Music elitists are pretty much the worst and most annoying sort of intellectual.</p>

<p>Maroon 5 and Papa Roach and Sade all tie. I listen to each of their CD's equally. Nothing alike, but I love them all.</p>

<p>I could never narrow it down to just one artist - or even just one genre! Haha, I probably have favorites in every genre, I just haven't thought of them yet.</p>

<p>Munro, I hope you aren't calling anyone on this thread a music elitist. I am listening to Britney Spears "Hit Me Baby, One More Time" right now, and the CD in my car is Ace of Base. I like filet mignon and I like Twizzlers. Same goes for music - sometimes you are in the mood for quality, sometimes you are in the mood for junk. And there's nothing elitist about knowing which is which.</p>

<p>Also, Munro: Despite your "music elitist" comment, I like you because Stevie Wonder is one of my heroes. I mean, there's nothing like a blind man with a harmonica.</p>

<p>XAntix: I didn't know anyone else listened to Air! I'm the only one in my town. I like to listen to Playground Love to help me chill out before bed.</p>

<p>I was talking to 8 1/2. Sun, I don't know how you could think I may have been speaking to or about you, but I definitely wasn't.</p>

<p>I'm not familiar with some of the bands you listed, but maybe I'll keep an eye (ear?) out for them.</p>

<p>currently digging folksy indie rock. stuff like Sufjan Stevens, Okkervil River, etc. </p>

<p>also really into some lesser known hip hop. </p>

<p>Linkin Park; Fort Minor; Death Cab for Cutie; ALOT of others but I'm too lazy to type them all down-mostly jazz/oldies/classical stuff.</p>

<p>Miles Davis and Moby, of course. I love him.</p>

Are you calling me an elitist because I was questioning how someone could have a single favorite artist?</p>

This is what I meant. If you listen to many different types of music, how can you choose a favorite?</p>

<p>From what I have seen, it seems like the people with a favorite band are the ones that own 2 cds. Nothing wrong with that, I was just pointing something out.</p>

<p>I'd be the last person to criticize people for their beliefs or their hobbies. I can't stand people who view others poorly if they don't live up to their standards.</p>

<p>Sorry if my earlier comment sounded a little derogative, it was in no way intended to belittle others.</p>

<p>Dream Theater or Tool.</p>
