yngwie (just because i'm doing a Far Beyond the Sun cover)

coheed (just put an album of theirs in the car stereo this morning. it's been a
while)

matisyahu (love the first album he put out, well-produced but still authentic reggae, not like the much more produced album he put out that got MTV praise)

in fact, i don't know if you guys remember radio stations and tv briefly overplaying that "king without a crown" song he did, but the O.G. version is on the first album; it is so much better that it's a shame people like the watered-down, fast-tempoed remix. like, last time i checked reggae doesn't sound like reggae anymore when the tempo is pushing like 140 bpm. hah.
