Top 5 Musical Artists

5. Led Zeppelin--do I really need to explain?
4. Sarah Brightman--incredible voice, and great live shows.
3. Stevie Nicks--probably the greatest living poet writing in English, and she sings, too!
2. Rin'--beautiful music, beautiful lyrics, beautiful band members; wow, did I mention beautiful?
1. Bjork--because she can kick your _ss, and her music already does!


OK, focusing on Japanese artists:
5. Rin'--see above
4. Aural Vampire--never you mind why. . .
3. Utada--discovered her music with Exodus cd--how can you not love the line: "You're easy-breezy and I'm Japanesy"?
2. Iruma Rioka--haunting vocals. I'd love to hear a duet with her and Sarah Brightman, both in full-Goth mode.
1. Sawa's Phool--the current musical project of Sawa, late of the group Sawa. Great writing and singing, and she's not too shabby on guitar, either!
