Ten is a difficult number

Agreed.  Ten is difficult.

One is good.  Like, my favorite musician is Bob Marley.

A million is good too, because I could probably name a whole bunch of musicians that I like.  (If I count CDs, rush and the Cure come in at 8 each, while Van Halen, REM, the Rolling Stones, Mozart, KISS, and Luciano Pavarotti have five each.  Embarrassingly, so does Pearl Jam.)   But I also have many favorites whose CDs I've never bought, like Van Morrison, Louis Armstrong, Serge Gainsbourg, Andrea Bocelli, Lynnyrd Skynnyrd, some benedictine monks, a Peruvian flute band that I saw nightly during the week I spent in Lima, and a bunch of long-dead composers from places like Italy, Austria, and Russia.

[bedstuy]

It's hard to make a list because it feels wrong to ask myself, do I like Lucinda Williams better than KRS-ONE?  They're so different that I feels unfair to make the comparison.  I generally like music grounded in a time and with an individual creative voice, along with strong lyrical style and poetry.  So, I guess I'll divide my list in two a few musical traditions.

New Wave:
Elvis Costello
Talking Heads
Joe Jackson

Country/Folk:
Woody Guthrie
Bob Dylan
Lyle Lovett

R&B/Hip-Hop:
Stevie Wonder
Rakim/Eric B
ATCQ
Beastie Boys

[Never]

1. Alabama
2. George Strait
3. Alan Jackson
4. Kenny Chesney
5. Tim McGraw

I never knew there were liberals that liked country music.

Haha. On a related note, Tim McGraw and Garth Brooks are Democrats.

My favorite 10 singers and bands are an ecletic bunch:

1. MercyMe
2. Carrie Underwood
3. The Fray
4. The News Boys
5. Hillsong United
6. Kelly Clarkson
7. Josh Groban
8. Leona Lewis
9. Adele
10. Taylor Swift
