Which musical artist could you listen to forever, if you were forced to listen to just one?
Edited on Thu Jul-12-07 10:06 PM by Heaven and Earth


I would choose Emmylou Harris. She has an amazing voice, and her lyrics really resonate with me. And she has an ageless beauty, so that angle would be covered if it were an in-person performance.

6. I've been told that Neil Young is one of the few artists
that can continue to pump out great songs decade after decade. If so, excellent choice.

20. Among jazz singers,
Ella Fitzgerald is good, but Sarah Vaughan is even better IMHO.

21. Neil Finn.
I hope I never have to make that choice though. As much as I love Neil, I love a lot of other music too.

29. The Beatles are my favorite, so no reason not to..
pick them. Their songs are so timeless, and their music varied enough that I wouldn't get burnout.
