Another heavy-ish band that mixes abject screaming with actual singing. Angsty themes. We like it better without the screaming.

Rhythm-forward hard rock blending gross growling vocals with regular ones. Angsty & angry. Feels like they're just throwing different song pieces together.

Low fi alt rock without any really winning songs. Vocals are on the weak side. Poorly produced & mixed.

Monotone screaming metal-core. The gymnastic musicianship is the star of the show. Better vocals would make a huge difference.

Bleak acoustic folk-country tunes filled with self-pity and regret, with a recurring theme of alcoholism. The quivery voice thing we dislike so much surfaces at times, but is mercifully infrequent

Quirky alternative pop. Well crafted songs, but most folks probably won't want to come back for second listens. Production is mid.

Vibrato voiced, Jack Johnson style acoustic music, just much poppier and nowhere near as enjoyable.

Spacey instrumental atmospheric prog rock jams. Songs are very similar, and very repetitive. Not unsurprisingly, their tracks have been used often in soundtracks.

Soft acoustic music, soft voice, soft lyrics. Guitar playing is just ok.

Stringed instrument virtuoso. The peices seem like just vehicles for him to show off.

Soft light jazzy love songs, kind of in the vein of Jack Johnson but less personality and nothing at stake.

Longtime electronic artist of pleasantly melodic, slowly developing soundscapes. Check out "A Walk."

French duo puts out DJ dance mixes with interesting exotic samples.

3 sisters have a very commercial sounding pop music group. Nominated for a Grammy 4 times, so they must be good? Nope. BLAH.

Mostly slower tempo country with sad lyrics. Good voice. Not that many cliches.

Nightclub boogie pop duo. Very 1980's. Good vocals. Somehow unlistenable, though.

Frontman for Alter Bridge and vocalist for Slash and the Conspirators. Voice similar to Chris Cornell. We heard echoes of Soundgarden,...

Highly emotive country-ish vocals. Earnest compositions. You've probably heard his big hit "Babylon."

Alternative rock trio featuring jangly guitars and somewhat distant vocals. Songs are on the short side.

Massachusetts-based prog metal band. Pretty parts, speedy parts, scary parts, overly complicated parts. James Hatfield-ish vocals offer...
