Kanye West's hiphop so he doesn't even register in my sphere of listening pleasures.
I'm totally a rock chick.
No rap cr@p for me.
Rap artists & Russell Simmons wouldve been thrilled to kill off modern day Rock/Alternative/Brit Pop.
Nora Jones is lovely, but only appropriate when I want to relax and be lulled to sleep.
And not only do I like modern day rock/alt, I'e always appreciated older music such as from Chuck Berry to Louis Armstrong to Glenn Miller.
See, so we pretty much agree. But I've not heard anything new that comes close to the quality and depth of the Artists - and their works - on my list.
