My 13 year old neice likes selena gomez. After that and Gaga I'm clueless. I'm much more in line with brianL's list. I can't believe there could be a favorite music list that ignored The Ramones or The Clash though.

I choose 'other.' I also don't know some of the persons listed, but as far as Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, and Lady Gaga is concerned, fingernails on a chalkboard is more musical then they are.

brianL's list comes to mind, minus Fleetwood Mac. and Springsteen.

I also enjoy Pink Floyd, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, ZZ Top, AC/DC, Aerosmith, David Gilmour, Devin Townsend, Dengue Fever (Combodian style rock), Pearl Jam, Soundgarden (I heard they are getting back together), The Who, Queen, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds; going into some more heavier metal: Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Kreator, Therion, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Dio(RIP), Ozzy,

I also enjoy some classical works, Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart.

I need to look into Richard Wagner. I know I mentioned classical, but lately I have also been getting into classical, and also Blues (Stevie Ray Vaughan), but I also need to listen to more pure Blues as well, (B.B. King unfortunately is the only name that comes to mind, but I need more Blues artists). I like them both which makes sense, being as a listener to heavy rock/metal which draws from Blues and Classical.

I mentioned Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, and I forgot another significant band that had the members of both: Temple Of The Dog. Although that collaborative project only released one album, it was and still is a very good album.

Also Jeff Buckley is a noteworthy mention too. RIP

Only ones I've ever heard of on that list are Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, and Lady Gaga.

I like a variety of music, but mostly like the classic rock.

Quite a few of the ones on Jeebizz's list are bands that come to mind.

Only heard of two of those you listed in your poll, and I don't think much to either of 'em!
