GREEN DAY - I love them about half as much as I love Stevie, which clocks in at right about 'unhealthy obsession.' Sadly, even though I begged everyone I know who can drive, I found no one available to take me to their concert. I cried.
Paramore - I absolutely love both of their studio CDs, 'All We Know is Falling' and 'Riot!' and I'm superrr excited about 'Brand New Eyes'. I also didn't go to this concert. Even though my best friend and I had tickets. Our parents wouldn't let us go alone. :/ So we sold them. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - I got to see them last summer, and we had 5th row seats! It was an awesome concert! Cheap Trick - They were 'My Obsession' (hehe, that's one of their songs!) before I discovered who sang Silver Springs.  I saw them two years ago, and stood on my chair the entire time to see Robin Zander over the 6 foot man in front of me. Katy Perry - Some of her songs are strange, but I think she's pretty cool, and whacked out.  I read her interview in Seventeen and she sounds more down to earth than the other current poppies. I have a Katy Perry t-shirt.  Nirvana - I'm not like a huge fan or anything, but I have their two studio CDs. And I like most of the songs, if I ignore the lyrics. Secondhand Serenade - He's just cool, and I like several of their songs. The Fray - I've listen to 'You Found Me' more than most people would care to. Rihanna - She's also just cool, and her name reminds me of Rhiannon, which is also my name

Guided by Voices/Robert Pollard (my actual favorite); The Byrds (and all shootoffs); Wilco; Cheap Trick; Big Star; the Breeders; Material Issue; and the Replacements have been getting up there. And, I've developed a major soft spot for old punk bands (Ramones, The Clash, Sex Pistols, the Stooges, the Rings) as well as bands like Velvet Underground, Wire, and Pere Ubu. I find myself appreciating the ACTUAL eccentric artists (screw you Lindsey).
In addition to that, of course, I love all of the other (main) projects of the other guys in my triubte band. Especially The Tasties and our vocalist Jesse Remnant. Their songs just give me gooseflesh. The other guys' stuff is killer, too (if not available on CD). I'm one of the luckiest people in the world to work with such talent on such a casual basis. I mean, there's nothing quite as cool to having a big practice, and then singing along with somebody in the band's CD on the way home! I tend to hate "mainstream" music. There's so much more worthwhile out there, that it becomes very limiting. That includes classic rock, BTW. Sure, there are songs that still get me there (Funk #49, Start Me Up), but so much of it is REALLY tired by this point.

Good thread idea!!!
Some of my faves outside the realm of Mac: Colbie Caillat (she counts lol) Vampire Weekend (almost forgot them lol)-saw live Maroon 5- seen live twice Jason Mraz I'm just getting into some ABBA, who are IMO a weak Mac Franz Ferdinand the Beatles, of course Chester French (similar to VW) the Killers L'Homme Run (very few songs, but very good) Lily Allen Taylor Swift Honestly, I find myself liking a few songs by one artist moreso than liking a majority of one artists songs. Which is another reason why I hold FM so dear- I only dislike maybe 12 songs during Rumours era, which is where my fandom lies. I mean I saw AC/DC Tuesday, don't get me wrong, they're really talented, but if not for the obv hits I wasn't as into it as the people I went with (but to be fair, I mostly went for a guy...) anyway I also like Alanis Morrisette, Dire Straits, and the Cars- but not everything in their catalogue. Two more honorable mentions are Tom Petty, and Supertramp

Oh geez, this is hard! I could list so many. Basically I like anything (but mostly easy listening / soft rock) from 50s-80s and some 90s. So here's an attempt off the top of my head.
Steppenwolf (Magic Carpet Ride is my all time favourite song); Dire Straits (Sultans of Swing is my second); The Monkees (Daydream Believer third); Toto (Africa fourth) Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music (Avalon all time fav album); Lindsey Buckingham (Go Insane was brilliant); Stevie Nicks; Sting and The Police (Soul Cages FTW); The Alan Parsons Project; Billy Joel; Phil Collins and Genesis; The Moody Blues; Electric Light Orchestra; Elton John; John Lennon and The Beatles (I prefer Lennon, believe it or not!); Russel Morris (an Aussie); Roy Orbison; The Carpenters; Chicago; Bread; Split Enz; Santana; The Doors; America; Don McLean; Gene Pitney (Only Love Can Break a Heart is phenomenal!); The Eagles; The Beach Boys; The Pretenders; Jackson Browne; Frank and Nancy Sinatra; Sade; Van Morrison; The Motels; Joe Jackson; Otis Redding; Creedance Clearwater Revival; Bryan Adams; The Dream Academy (Life in a Northern Town is a great song!); Diana Ross and The Supremes; Abba (their later songs like Winner Takes it All); The Rolling Stones (song like She's a Rainbow and Angie were great, but I don't listen to them often); Dido; Michael Buble; Jet; Eskimo Joe; John Mayer (I don't like much else from 2000s)... I'm sure I've missed lots of bands where I'll go "Damn! How did I forget them?!", but that should be enough for now. And just for the sake of it, FM is my all time fav band! Hooray for The Mac!

U2-I'm probably gonna get beat for this one, since there seems to be a lot of hate in the other thread.
Oasis-yeah, I'm sure a lot of you don't like them either! Patty Griffin Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Sheryl Crow (glad she didn't join the Mac, however) The Beatles The Corrs Coldplay-ducks The Eagles Ryan Adams and his various incarnations Traveling Wilburys Chris Isaak The Rolling Stones The Police/Sting Tonic/Emerson Hart
