I've heard of Radiohead and Bjork... I assume the rest are even weirder, as I've never heard of them. :P And if Radiohead is the most normal music you like, then you have very strange tastes.

Anyway, I'm not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to music, so I don't know as many bands and individual players, so I'll just make a top 3 list, in no particular order (besides alphabetical.) Keep in mind that my memories aren't as expansive as some of yours. :)
