Aside from Prince's, whose music would be your "crack?" (For the record, I mean absolutely no offense to actual crack users...)
Maybe it's when you're glum or happy. Maybe it's for some background music to set a mood. But when that feeling -- whatever that feeling might be -- hits you, whose music do you spin? My short list: 1. Eric Clapton -- his guitar playing is just very emotional. 2. Stevie Ray Vaughan -- Ditto. 3. Nichole Nordeman -- picturesque writing, lush music and a knack for articulating the Christian experience. 4. The Sundays -- Harriet Wheeler's voice is pure sugar. Miss her and her husband's work. 5. Aretha Franklin -- her voice, especially back in the day, soooo moving. 6. Al Green -- self-explanatory. 7. Radiohead -- dem boys iz CRA-ZEEE! 8. Neil Finn -- (hurry up, Neil, with that new album. OK?) 9. Rich Mullins -- A songwriter's songwriter. 10. I -- hey, when you can't hear it in someone else's, write your own.  | |

For me, ever since I was 8 years old, I can put on Janet and feel so much better over anything. I can relate to so much of her music, and it almost feels like I'm listening to a friend when I put on something like The Velvet Rope. Whenever I'm depressed, and no matter what the situation, I can put something of Janet's on and feel comfort! I love my JJ! | |

Bob Dylan - genius lyricist - the passion with which he writes and sings is amazing
Carlos Santana - beautiful latin vibes and amazing guitar George Michael - emotional and heart felt lyrics, beautiful arrangements Norah Jones - a voice like butta Chet Baker - one of the all time best trumpet players, great jazz and soft, sexy voice too. Anything from the Buena Vista Social Club!! Tony Bennet - a great singer from the past who still sounds great even in his 70's | |

No offense to actual crack users. 
I listen to so much stuff everyday, but I really don't have an actual preference. Prince is pretty much it cuz he feeds all of my needs, you know? The funk thing, the rock thing, the smooth jazz thing. | |

Without explanation:
Jeff Buckley, Stina Nordenstam and Pulp Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop. | |

Stevie Wonder The Police Al Green Bob Marley Horace Silver John Coltrane Miles Davis (other than Prince, I own more of Miles' LPs than anyone else's) Sade Earth, Wind & Fire Digable Planets Public Enemy Om Lounge Naked Music jazzanova Jimi Hendrix Most anything produced by DJ Premier Me'Shell NdegeOcello [This message was edited Fri Mar 19 14:32:19 2004 by namepeace] Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

The only artists that I ever fiended for other than Prince would be:
Stevie Wonder Ani Difranco Jimi Hendrix Miles Davis I like a lot of artists but these are the only ones I just had to buy as much of their music as I could find. I guess I feel a real connection to these artists. It's more than just enjoyment for me with these artists. |
