Well, too many to mention all. There is so much good stuff in any genre - Electronic Music, Rock, Rap, Latin, Indie, Hip Life, Chanson, Soca, Zouk - whatever! Just to name a few: Radiohead is amazing, no doubt, and so are their videos. I love And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead. Jaques Brel is a saint. So is Leonard Cohen. Pretty difficult to top Aztec Mystic's Knights Of The Jaguar in terms of producing a tech-house tune. Magic Sytem's Premiere Gaou brings Africa into your heart - wherever you are. And if you wanna lose yourself a bit - how about an ACDC show? Very effective - trust me!
