PrintableMoonbeam said: 53. Mötley Crüe Thank you for giving me an outlet for my unusually high amount of hyperactivity at age 9. "Kickstart My Heart" will always be among my top 100 songs of all time, no matter how much my tastes have changed and will continue to change. Thank you for the endless fun of Dr. Feelgood and, yes, even for the pretentious umlauts!  Check it out ...Shiny Toy Guns R gonna blowup VERY soon and bring melody back to music..you heard it here 1st! http://www.myspacecomment...theone.mp3 | |

Thank you for your sleazy sassafrass. Thank you for your rocky voyage throughout the decades and for giving my Mom some nice eye candy. Thank you for Pump- which remains one of my favorite albums. Thank you for your glorious 70s bombast of Toys in the Attic and Rocks. Mostly, thank you for "Janie's Got a Gun"- it was one of maybe 10 songs that made me obsessed with music in 1989. 
it was exactly the same for me. i still love that song today.  and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

Not in any particular order:
Prince: Thank you for giving me a peak into your soul for 20 odd years. Thank you for your style, your courage, your honesty and your mind. Thank you for moving me to tears with just a note of your music...or with a scream from your lips. Thank you for putting "Something in the H2O"....Thank you for making me utterly FEEL "Anna stesia" ...Thank you for taking me "Uptown"...Thank you for turning my "Computer Blue" ...and thank you for taking me to "Erotic City". Thank you for "raising" me...I don't know who I would be without you. Lou Reed: Thank you for your daring attitude, your spirit...your honest words...your truth...and a glimpse into your New York. I wouldn't wanna be anywhere else. The Beatles: Thank you for John Lennon, Thank you for your innovation...sounds, colors, moods, pictures, imagination and for believing in something better. Stevie Ray Vaughn: Thank you for...(sigh).....thank you for every single fucking note you've ever played...thank you. Depeche Mode: Thank you for making me feel sexy....Thank you for being sexy...Thank you for dimming the lights on a brightly lit stage. Stevie Nicks: My role model for so many years...Thank you for being one of the few women I truly look up to. U2: Thank you for awareness, history, music that I couldn't live without...music that movtivates, enlightens and quietly whispers. TOOL: Thank you for making music that inspired me...music that I wish I would've made...music that not only lifted me up but carried me on its shoulder, showing me the other side. From the bottom of my heart...thank you. Pink Floyd: Thank you for showing me color...sadness...joy...endless rhythms....peacefulness and confusion. Frank Sinatra: Thank you for the definition of "cool"..."fearless"...and "smooth". Noone will ever take your place. [Edited 12/22/06 11:06am] | |

Moonbeam said: 100. Richard Marx Thank you for being one of my first favorite artists. "Satisfied" was greatly instrumental in getting me into music, and the rest of the singles from Repeat Offender still give me a great sense of nostalgia. I also turned out to be fond enough of your debut album to own it on CD, cassette and vinyl. You may have dropped off of my radar, barring the odd "Hazard" here or there, but I still look back fondly on those early days. Cool ur bold enough to include Richard Marx. "satisfied" is still a great song, but my cut is "children of the night" though. | |

Thank you for "In Bloom", "Lithium" and "Heart-Shaped Box"- I hated most alternative music of the time and these songs were a saving grace. Thank you for making rock raw again. thank you for ruining music for me the last 15 years..you took fun out of rock n roll and replaced it with a depressing sound & lyrics So true. You rule. | |

Top15:
15) Me'Shell NdegéOcello Thank you for being so cool, I wish you could get the recognition you deserve. ‘Bitter’ is one of the most honest and beautifully simple albums I own. 14) D’Angelo. No thank you, I hate you for wasting your talent.  (I adore Brown Sugar and Voodoo!!)
13) Jimi Hendrix Thank you for being such a great inspiration for my idol. Thank you for the best psychedelic/rock album ever, Electric Ladyland. I can’t wait to explore the rest of your legacy! 12) Terence Trent D’Arby Thank you for not sticking to the smooth pop formula of your debut. Your best work came after that. Very underrated. 11) Beck Thank you for taking it a step further. Midnite Vultures is so much fun!
I will never forgive ‘Loser’ though. 10) The Velvet Underground Thank you especially for your massive debut. Listening to it from begin to end remains an undescribable experience!
9) Bob Dylan Thank you for discovering you recently, thank you for Blood On the Tracks. I’m looking forward to seeing you live in concert April 9. 8) Sufjan Stevens Thank you for your highly original music. I thought Illinois was good but there was more.. And thank you for the best live muscial experience I had with your concert in Paradiso. Beautiful. 7) Bebel Gilberto Thank you for making the perfect combination of Latin, pop, lounge, jazza and bossanova.. I don’t know how to describe it! It just sounds lovely along with your dreamy vocals. Thank you for Tanto Tempo. 6) Stevie Wonder Thank you for your unlimited positivity! Just thinking of you makes me smile. Thank you for Innervisions, for the funk of Superstition, for the surreal but great experiences I had at night with Journey Trough The Secret Life Of Plants. But most of all thank you for releasing A Time 2 Love in a time when I needed it the most.
5) Miles Davis Thank you for my introduction to jazz. If it wasn’t for Kind Of Blue and Sketches Of Spain I wouldn’t have had the interest in jazz I have right now. Thanks for introducing me to other greats like Wayne Shorter and John Coltrane. 4) Michael Jackson Thank you for being my first musical idol. It’s not easy being a fan these days but I don’t give up. Thank you for the extremely catchy uplifting music, the moves, your stage-outfits, the head, the glove, the glitter socks, the larger than life attitude, the videos, the films, the excitement and the voice. But please, release a new album already! 
3) Radiohead Thank you for balancing my music taste. I was listening mostly ‘positive’ music at the moment but then came Kid A and I was sold. Thank you Thom Yorke for your deeply disturbing vocals and your great solo album! 2) The Beatles Thank you especially for 1965-1969, the best run in musical history. It was a great journey discovering them. The perfect pop album Revolver, the innovation of Sgt. Pepper, the brilliance called The White Album and my obsession with Strawberry Fields Forever.. Very cliché to say but I don’t care.. Best band ever! 1) Prince Thank you for giving me Parade! The instrumentation, the sound, the summer feeling it has, the funk, the crazyness, Mountains, Life Can Be So Nice.. my fav album ever. Prince is the most important artist in my collection, because of his way of mixing so much musical styles I learned so much more about allmost all other musical genres. Thank you for the movies, your whole persona and for your music, without it my life would be much less fun. | |
