Beatles-No explanation is really needed here is it? Though there were several other contenders (Bob Dylan, Brett Dennen, Backstreet Boys)
Christina Aguileria-She was, and still is, the more talented of the pop stars.
Duran Duran-If only for the song 'What Happens Tomorrow'
Eric Clapton-Complete and raw talent.
Frank Zappa-Pure, underrated genius. A truly revolutionary musician.
Gwen Stefani-I love her solo stuff as much, if not more, than her No Doubt material.
Hanson-Well, let's just say some people see them as gods. I just happen to think they are the best songwriters and musicians of this generation and deserve a trillion times more respect.
Iron and Wine-Okay, technically I don't own any of their music, but it was really slim pickings for I and I think I would really like them.
James Blunt-Who else can capture such tragically sad sentiments in such a beautiful way?
Kanye West-Sure, he's pompous, but he sure can deliver a rap. And has amazing collaborations.
Leonard Cohen-He's a poet! And he knows it!
Mika-Just the right blend of whimsical yet thoughtful lyrics.
Nsync-I suppose I have to put them there. I own most of their CDs and went to a concert. Though I could save a lot of face by putting No Doubt or Nada Surf.
Oasis-Wonderwall...need I say more?
Puff Daddy, P Diddy, that dude over there-Cause we're bad boys for life.
Q-I don't have a single Q artist in my iTunes, so I suppose I can't say anyone. I have one Q song...Quit Playing Games with my Heart by the Backstreet Boys.
Rolling Stones-Another classic. Ruby Tuesday is the best.
Sean Lennon-He channels his father in a slightly terrifying way. But clearly very talented musically and lyrically in his own right.
Tony Bennet-Because he always reminds me the best is yet to come...and babe won't it be fine!
U2-Cause, well, their U2. And Bono may one day rule the world.
Velvet Underground-Throw Nico into the mix, and you've got pure gold.
Will Smith-Classics here. Gettin Jiggy with it. Miami. Summertime. Some of the best songs ever.
X-Again, no X artists. One X song-X&Y by Coldplay.
Yellowcard-The hours I spend listening to Ocean Avenue number a little too high for me not to pick them. Though Yo-Yo Ma was a close second.
Z-Not a single artist with a Z...not even a song with a Z. Does that seem peculiar?
"We are ugly, but we have the music."-Leonard Cohen

So you should put the Flobots at F, Zappa at Z. For Q, Queen, because you would secretly like their musical. And X... Xaiver Rudd. You'd like his stuff ok. Kinda hippy-ish reggae rock. And where in bloody hell are the Men at Work?
