Who's your favorite musician/s?

I searched but didn't see this thread yet.
My favorite of all time is Elliott Smith, simply brilliant guy who went much too young. Jeff Buckley, another one who left us before he really began. I like classical alot and right now I'm having a hard time listening to anything other than Vivaldi or Handel's Water Music. Oh yeah I like Disturbed too. If anyones interested I can post a link to some samples and live recordings of Elliott Smith. So what do you all listen to?

Jimmy Page, Angus Young, and BB King
'nuff said

Nice, Its cool to see someone so young interested in the greats. Im used to everyone under 25 I know liking Hip Hop or R&B or whatever you wanna call it these days. Now Dre and Ice Cube back in the day....thats another story.

yea, it generally surprises people when i tell them that I dont listen to rap

My favorite band has to be Static-X, they're really good.
But I like old country a lot, and oldies. Nothing better than sitting on the porch, drinking lemonaide during the summer while listening to Credence Clearwater Revival, and reading some good hard core sci-fi.
I know, I'm 21 but I really enjoy music my parents would have been listening to when they were young.
But my g/f loves Hip-Hop and alternative music. So I get to listen to a good share of Eminem and Nickelback...and I have to say I appreciate them more now than before I met her.

AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, CCR, Guns N' Roses, Modest Mouse, Motion City Soundtrack, HIM, CKY, Nirvana, and the Foo Fighters.

Nice, you got some good stuff there
Apart from those three above, i really like a lot of modern punk

I like alot of Classic rock or just Rock. ACDC, Pink Floyd, The Ramones, Jethro Tull, The Clash, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Band, The White Stripes and many many more.

I love Progressive Rock. Dream Theater (probably collectively the most talented group of musicians in a band right now - all went to either Berklee College of Music, or Juillard) are my favourite band.

Others in no order (not just Prog Rock/Metal bands here):

Sonata Arctica
Metallica
Nightwish
Angra
Shaman

Liquid Tension Experiment
Bozzio Levin Stevens
