*cracks knuckles*
The Bonzo Dog Dog Doo Dah Band (Originally Trad Jazz, but were criticised for being to much like other trad jazz bands, so... branched out. Fun fact: Stephan Fry sung in their 40th anniversary.)

I guess I should probably do something like this. It's hard for me to pick artists, because I'm usually limited to a few of their songs or an album I like, but I think I can find a few where I like a lot of their stuff. In no particular order:
1. OneRepublic (alt-rock/pop)
2. Poets of the Fall (rock. definitely rock.)
3. Voltaire (comedy/rock? alt-rock? alt-pop? comedy.)
4. Within Temptation (also rock, I'm sensing a trend)
5. Carrie Underwood (pop-styled-country or country-styled-pop?)
6. All Time Low (I prefer their Future Hearts sound, but I like some of the older stuff, too -- alt-rock)
7. Yellowcard (one of the few bands I still like that I liked at 13, that's basically their genre now)
8. basically anything falling into the genres of "alt", "rock", or "pop", throw it at me.
9. Tape Five (electroswing) -- also anything else electroswing, but I don't have a lot of artists on hand for that one in particular. I have to find more of it. -
