Favorite Artists
Jellyfish
They've never made the Top 40, and they only put out two albums, but their distinctive brand of Beatlesque pop and authority-challenging lyrics gets me every time.
Sixpence None the Richer
Their self-titled album especially captures a longing for joy and peace.
XTC
What a long, extensive career these guys have had! Especially check out Mummer, Skylarking, Nonesuch, and Apple Venus Vol. 1.

Top 40 Hits of My Life (1972-)
That's right, all of them, collected painstakingly on mp3 CD-ROMs in chronological order and downloaded each week from my desert island.
