Tito Puente
Earth, Wind & Fire Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (composer) Metallica Evanescence |
I like many, many artists - I have very diverse tastes, spanning several decades - but to choose "favorites", that to me means it would be almost painful not to be able to listen to that music again, so that only defines a few for me:
Marvin Gaye Stevie Wonder Alanis Morrisette Tori Amos Santana I've really enjoyed reading everyone's choices -- love the 80's "new wave" artists especially!! :) |
For the record, there's not a limit listed for artists. It's the top FAV musicians (not five). :cheesy:
I read it wrong too, initially, but didn't care cuz I'm such a badass rule breaker. :blink: |
