but some that I can always fall back on
Led zeppelin
The Bad Plus
Tom Waits
Them Crooked vultures
it heavily depends on my mood
I had a pretty heavy Black Keys phase but I have been going back to Billie Holiday lately

How about you? What musics are you into?
I love Tom Waits. I'm not familiar with The Bad Plus, what do they sound like?

As far as what I like goes, like you I go through artists like crazy. I tend to go through cycles of listening to certain styles incessantly for a while then jumping to something else. Right now I've been listening to a lot of fast and crazy electronic music in the gabber/breakcore vein. Some recent phases for me before that were yass (a Polish hybrid of jazz, postpunk, electronica and experimentalism), South African hip hop/electronica, musicals (never thought I'd go there but it happened), New Orleans bounce, Dixieland jazz, dub music. Styles I tend to go back to a lot are doom metal, grindcore, hardcore punk, bebop, free jazz, post punk, IDM, golden age hip hop, experimental hip hop, exotica, tropicalia, 60s pop, 70s pop, 80s pop, Europop, industrial and afrobeat.

Sorry about the long answer. :/
