JRV said that someone would have to start this thread so here goes!!!

Motorhead - Great stuff to bang your head to, probably the best Metal Band EVER!!!!
Cream
The Doors
Barry Manilow - How's that for honesty???
The Tragically Hip - Just discovered them while in Canada on vacation.
Cat Stevens
Da Da
Stone Roses
Judie Tzuke - The most beautiful songstress I know.

That'll do for starters.

Anyone else like to take a shot?
