I absolutely love Shiina, there isn't a lot of Shiina fans here besides The_Pirate_King_Atomsk and myself. So it's great to see another listener. And she makes a pretty great nurse. And i'm kinda with you there about the boy bands, with the exception of DBSK. It's just listening something from Johnny's...eh.

But I'll listen to anything really. For the most part, i'm into the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the Who, Marvin Gaye, Cream, B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix, Van Morrison, the Doors, and it goes on. I also enjoy listening music Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Miles Davis, Yusef Lateef, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Robert Johnson, John Lee Hooker, and again the list goes on. And it'll go on and on, because it's going to increase eventually.

As for J-pop, i'm not really into J-pop anymore, or at least bother to dug in for new releases and such. For J-pop I'll go with BONNIE PINK, Rie fu, Shiina or Chara. Bonnie Pink has one of the most charming and sweetest voices out there and her music just puts you in the right mood. And Chara is a bit more obscure, but her music is great also and that voice of hers is very angelic in a way. But whether it's from Japan or not, it doesn't matter because music is universal. I also still listen to Epik High of course, they're an awesome Korean hip-hop group.

But right now, it's all about Jeff Buckley. I even gave up the Beatles for a while, and that's really rare. The guy was amazing, no doubt about it. His vocal range was off the charts and his Grace album was near perfection. He just blows my mind, seriously. I suppose some you guys heard about the whole 'Hallelujah' and X-Factor ordeal back in December or probably heard his cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' [no, not the one in Shrek.] somewhere. Out of all the Hallelujah covers, I personally think Jeff pulls it off no problem. Not only did he pulled it off, he created it into something almost his own.

From Grace:
Hallelujah
Grace
Last Goodbye
So Real

Check out his other works from Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk and covers too. He does freaking awesome covers of songs from Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and many others. And if none of this catches your interest well, I think Hikki listed Jeff Buckley as one of her favorite artists. Or at least that's what I have read in her profile.

And it isn't harmful to say that he was quite handsome.
