Fave songs: Mr. Mastodon Farm, Rock 'N' Roll Lifestyle, Comanche, Haze of Love, The Distance, Daria, Open Book, Guitar, Sheep Go to Heaven, Cool Blue Reason, Short Skirt/Long Jacket (really everything)
The Deal: Quirky band from Sacramento with fun songs and some of the most solid albums from start-to-finish in my collection. Also a lot of fun live.

Albums: Sixpence None the Richer
Fave songs: There She Goes, Love, Kiss Me, I Can't Catch You, Us (single)
The Deal: Leigh Nash has a terrific voice and they create good, solid songs that really get to me. Also excellent live.

Fave songs:
I'm Not Afraid, Writing Letters in My Head, Ugly Girl, Sadder Day, Comfortable
The Deal: I must like quirky. With Fleming's really unique voice, F&J make some of the most unique and interesting songs I know. Exciting to see them live.

 

Albums: Sister, Aurora Gory Alice, Wholesale Meats and Fishes, Go!
Fave songs: Here and Now, Jennifer, Awake, He's Got an Answer, Beacause of You, Anchor
The Deal: Fronted by my hero Kay Hanley, Letters to Cleo has a great and unique sound and manage to have a rockin' female lead singer who stands out from the pack. (Check out Kay doing the wonderful vocals for the Josie and the Pussycats soundtrack.)

 

Albums: Flood, Apollo 18, John Henry, Long Tall Weekend, Factory Showroom, Severe Tire Damage
Fave songs: Letterbox, I Palindrome I, Sleeping in the Flowers, I Sould Be Allowed to Think, How Can I Sing Like a Girl?, James K. Polk, and so many more
The Deal:
Super quirky. Fantastic duo with songs that will for the most part never reach the radio, but are more fun and smart than a lot of what does. They contribute a lot of music to "Malcolm in the Middle," including the theme song. Sadly, I live in California and they rarely get much west of the Mississippi, so I've only seen them "live" on talk shows.

 

And a few more great artists here.
