Cowboy junkies? I have always meant to listen to those guys. They seem like the kind of thing I'd like.

[apsham]

For a moment - I confused Cowboy Junkies with Job For A Cowboy and I was really, really confused.

[gunnar hendershow]

I'll just put it as Jack White, since he's doing solo work now. Someone like him is really hard since there are people who love The White Stripes but don't like his recent solo work and so on. So, yeah, it's going to be listed as Jack White unless you edit your list.

[Your Mom]

Sounds good (Y)

[RPS]

It is fun to go and see the really diverse music tastes by individual posters and EWB as a whole. The fact that in four different lists we had Flying Lotus, Velvet Underground, Slayer and the GoGo Dolls is pretty great.

[Sousa]

Are the GoGo Dolls GoGo Yubari's band?

[GoGo Yubari]

They are now.

[Katsuya]

Fuck, I need to edit my list solely for the fact I completely forgot about Regina Spektor.
