Surprising songs

[snufkin]

What artists do you love that you think people would be shocked to find out about? This isn't a guilty pleasures thread, because there is absolutely no guilt involved, it's just something different from your norm.

I completely adore Kanye West. Urban music in general is totally not my thing, but I don't think Kanye has made a bad album and his music is so engaging.

Cherry Ghost toured with the Manic Street Preachers in 2007. I was so impressed by them that I bought their album "Thirst For Romance". And it is really good. They are an Indie Rock band from Bolton.

I don't know if it's very surprising but possible a little surprising since I mostly only listen to metal... I absolutely love Amanda Palmer (and the Dresden Dolls). There is nothing more fun than one of her shows! We went to her London concert the other day but had to leave really early to get the last train back, which sucked.
