You want it? Baby you got it! (Jaguardog's "My favorite musical artists of all-time" W/O)Jun 06 '05 Write an essay on this topic.The Bottom Line And I know, And I feel... That I could learn to hate just like you. And I know, And I feel... That you could learn to love just like me. JAGUARDOG is celebrating his 5th year here at good ol' Epinions, and to celebrate, he is hosting his first ever write-off! I received email from JDog himself inviting me to join his "My Favorite Musical Artists of All Time from A to Z". While I can't sing to save my life, I love listening to music, so this sounded like a fun challenge. There are no "official" rules and seeing as I don’t have many favorite individual artists, about 97% of this list is groups. Feel free to sing along, but don’t blame me if one of these songs gets stuck in your head. ;) Ash: Jack Names the Planets, Kung Fu Barenaked Ladies: The Old Apartment, One Week, Pinch Me Bon Jovi: Shot Through the Heart, Livin' On a Prayer, You Give Love a Bad Name, I’ll Be There For You Bowling For Soup: 1985, Surf Colorado (yes I know some, okay a lot, of you think probably that BFS are a bunch of talentless rednecks, and in addition to me not being able to sing, I also have NO taste. But I like them anyway, so nyah.) ;) Brooks & Dunn: Neon Moon (from my country days!) The Cars: You Might Think, Just What I Needed Coldplay: Yellow, The Scientist (the only two songs I like from them) The Coors: So Young, Breathless Dead or Alive: You Spin Me Round, Brand New Lover The Doors: Break on Through, Light My Fire EightXL: Drown.
