Famous Musicians You Respect as People

I respect Niel Diamond and Roger waters as they are the legends. But as emerging legends i really appreciate Eric Church, Jason Aldean and Carri Underwood. Three of them are my best country music singers. Taylor swift is good but she needs more time to prove herself.

i mutually respect dexter holland, sameer gadhia, jesse r., kurt cobian, m.j., selena q., and many others. i may be just a fan and all but what counts the most is their humbleness. dunno, it's like 4:29 AM.

Artists who don't appear in adverts. Artists who, if they hold the rights, don't allow their music to be used in adverts. Artists who turn down the chat show couch.

Why do you hold them to such a high standard? What's so wrong with promoting their music? Do you not want them to have more fans and to make money? You want them to stay struggling artists forever!

I was thinking of established artists. They've made it big, they've made money, no need to sell their soul by doing adverts. And on the couch on those talk shows, they aren't proper interviews, they aren't talking about their art, their talking about themselves and their life, soaking up the sycophantism and propogating celebrity culture.

Pretentious classist bull**** bye

As for me, Alig Fodder, he's not really famous~~~ but Family Fodder are p well known in post punk. I messaged him once on myspace years ago to ask if he could clarify a lyric in Cold Wars Unchained Ballad and I couldn't figure out, and he actually wrote back to me several times telling me when he got home from Greece he'd look through his old things for me and find the lyric. It was awesome.
