experimentation...

(x-posted to myspace/facebook/lj)

Okay, so I'm looking for some new music. I have my tried and true favorites, but I'm starting to feel my ears getting stale. I find I spend the most time on Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews, James Taylor, John Mayer, Nickel Creek, KT Tunstall, Regina Spektor, Guster... I think that's about it.

So here's my hope: I would appreciate it if anyone who reaches this post would submit a comment with one - NOT two or three - artist OR album that I should check out. Please also include a reason I should check it out. Is it similar to something else I listen to? Is it completely different, but you're so emphatically impressed you want me to hear it?

If everyone who reads this comments, I should get at LEAST two or three suggestions of something I don't have, right??? :-)

Thanks for your help!
