Non-Urban Music Shock me. What artists do you like that I wouldn't expect?

[Casey]

Title says it all. I'm an eclectic musical space alien so I don't think anything I'm into would surprise anyone, but some people wouldn't expect me to be a fan of Joni Mitchell.

So try and shock me, tell me an artist that you love that I wouldn't think you might be in to.

Kelly Clarkson
Leann Rimes

I don't really know what artists you'd be surprised to know that I listen to. I'm a bit of an indie/alternative rock guy, but I like everything from Raekwon to Ray Charles, Mozart to Mos Def and A Tribe Called Quest to A Flock of Seagulls.

I think most serious music fans think they're the most eclectic person in the world - myself included.

Incidentally, I'm also a Joni Mitchell fan. Particularly California and River.

You should check out Joni's "Hejira" and "Hissing of Summer Lawns" albums. Those are classic.

Are you a Bjork fan by any chance? I think she's awesome.

Another artist I love that nobody here has probably heard of is an electro producer called Anthony Rother.

Hip me to some of her solo work. I'm only really familiar with the new wave stuff she did in the 80's with 'til Tuesday.

i am a big fan of her album the forgotten arm. really cool album that tells a story from the start to finish. i love albums like this that have a theme and can tell a story the whole way through. some really good song on here that are nice to listen to by themself as well.

Yes, but only once I heard Medulla. Before then I'd kind of avoided her.

I'm a big fan of Joanna Newsom too, who's a bit weird. She sounds a bit like Bjork, a bit like Kate Bush and a bit like Lisa Simpson.

Thanks Puff, I will check that out.

Medulla is great, if a little strange. But then, this is Bjork we're talking about. I've been a fan since Post came out in 1995.

I'll check out Joanna Newsom, I'm not familiar with her work, but I love Bjork and Kate Bush is awesome too so it sounds like I would like it.
