Too many to mention, really. Stevie and FM are pretty much what I listen to the least these days.

I get tired of the constant moaning that 'music isn't good anymore' or that 'music all sucks these days'. The truth is that complaints like that are from people stuck in the past.

Recent favorites are by:

Tracey Thorne -Love and Its Opposite, Out of the Woods
The Cinematics - Love & Terror, A Strange Education
Kasabian - West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum, Empire, Kasabian
Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings The Flood, Middle Cyclone
Amos Lee - Mission Bell
Cold War Kids - Loyalty to Loyalty, Robbers & Cowards
Honeycut - The Day I Turned To Glass
Jessie Baylin - You, Firesight
Portishead - Third, Dummy, Portishead
The Black Keys - Brothers, Attack & Release
Gorillaz - Demon Days, Plastic Beach
Vampire Weekend - Contra, Vampire Weekend
Sam Sparro - Sam Sparro
Art Brut - Art Brut versus Satan
Hockey (these guys are awesome beyond words) - Mind Chaos
Muse - Uprising, Absolution, Black Holes And Revelations
Regina Spektor - Far, Fidelity, Soviet Kitcsh
The Whitest Boy Alive - Dreams, Rules
Royksopp - Junior, Melody AM
Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine
Kate Nash - Made Of Bricks, My Best Friend Is You
Ray LaMontagne - God Willin' & the Creek Don't Rise
Eric Hutchinson - Sounds Like This
The Presets - Apocalypso
James Morrison - Undiscovered, Songs For You, Truths For Me
Franz Ferdinand - Tonight!
Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra (a great lounge-style musician) - Strings And Things, Miles of Styles, World of Funk

I also have a life-long love for Depeche Mode, Madonna and Siouxsie & The Banshees, so they get a lot of airtime.

5) Traffic - On The Road
6) Allman Bros Band - Shades Of Two Worlds
7) Derek & The Dominos - Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs (25th Anniversary box set, mainly)
8) George Harrison - Cloud 9
9) ZZ Top - Tres Hombres
10) The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
11) The Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street
12) Little Feat - Dixie Chicken
13) Traffic - Far From Home
14) Jimi Hendrix - Band Of Gypsys
15) Roxy Music - Avalon
16) Blind Faith
17) The Beatles - White Album
18) George Harrison - All Things Must Pass
19) The Rolling Stones - Steel Wheels
20) The Motels - All Four One

And, lately, since I've been in a Janis Joplin tribute band for a while (called "Pearl"...beware, shamless plug ahead: http://pearl.neptune.net/, this one has been getting a helluva lot of plays due to my having to learn just about every song from it:

Big Brother & The Holding Company - Cheap Thrills
Why would you listen to ANYTHING by the Beatles. They're SOOO overrated....

You're a sharp dressed man, Louie!! ZZ Top is awesome!

As for me, when I'm not listening to my beloved Stevie & Fleetwood Mac, I'm listening to plenty of other bands & artists, but rarely do I enjoy an album in it's entirety. I enjoy listening to these records in their entirety though:

Jagged Little Pill - Alanis Morissette
Mirrorball - Sarah McLauchlan
Come Clean - Puddle Of Mudd
Dreamboat Annie, Little Queen, Heart, Bad Animals, Brigade, Desire Walks On, & Red Velvet Car - Heart =)
Boston - Boston
Speak Now - Taylor Swift
Recovery - Eminem
Lungs - Florence + the Machine
She's So Unusual - Cyndi Lauper
Fly - Dixie Chicks

& that is that =)

Edited my post to list the albums the get the most play.

I play music all day at work, and while cleaning, cooking, gardening or other activities that don't require conversation.

Apart from Stevie and the Mac, there are loads of artists I listen to, but very rarely does an entire album grip me for a prolonged period of time, I flit between loving albums .

Although, at the moment, I find myself bouncing between Adele's 21 and Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Fever To Tell; both fantastic albums.
