its lame when you pick up someone's ipod only to find that they listen to bands that sound exactly the same. what are you favorite artists that have nothing in common?

post your favorite bands in three different genres...

Busy Signal----dancehall

Death From Above 1979----rock

Jose Gonzalez ----folk

Haha.  So ridiculous. I only listen to hip hop and rap.  Can't stand any other genre.

And unfamiliar music usually sounds the same.
