I always like to think I have pretty eclectic taste in music, but making a list of my long-time favourites, it's pretty clear that I gravitate towards the straight-up women-singer-songwriter genre.

Top 10 (no order):

Happy Rhodes
Kate Bush
Stevie Nicks
Patty Griffin
Anais Mitchell
Jann Arden
Dolly Parton
Hannah Fury
Peter Gabriel (Yay! A man!)
Marianne Faithfull

We have a very similar taste, I love most of these artists/bands especially U2, Tom Petty and Queen.
And to add:

Billy Joel
Elton John
Heart
Paul McCartney
Steve Miller Band
Led Zeppelin
The Rolling Stones

The occasional contemporary country artist:

Like Bryan
Blake Shelton
Jason Aldean
Eric Church
Jake Owen

I listen to a heck of a lot of music, but these are the ones I know the best. Of course I listen to some of the Cars, Genesis, the Clash, Eric Clapton, Eagles.. As well as indie bands and pop artists but at a limited playlist.

Well, I like the song they made for the Olympic Games. It was one of the best songs of 2012!!!! Then I heard other songs, but I'm still "learning" more about them!

Blashphemer!!!!!

I enjoy Muse. Though I'm not really familiar with much of their work except for Black Holes and Revelations. Love that album. But yes, I do hear a lot that it seems they've lost some of their creative spark, which is a shame.

I'll have to pick up some of their other albums, soon.

Tegan and Sara! Yes! I just listened to a wonderful interview with them on it. Really brilliant women, both. I love their latest album, but The Con is still a firm favourite, for me.

Agreed with Tegan and Sara. Although I do prefer their older stuff next to Heartthrob.

I mainly like mostly everything with the exceptions of heavy metal and most contemporary country with my two favorite genres being classic rock and Korean/Japanese pop/Hip-Hop music.
