What is your favorite music artist & why?

I love U2.

I've been a fan since I was around 11 years old. Actually, the album that got me into them was one not many U2 fans even like..Pop. My favorite album now is Achtung Baby....I think...I love them all. And now, well, I have basically every CD possible (all the albums, singles, live shows, etc.) along with posters, shirts, movies, etc. etc.

Anyway, I don't know how to describe why I love U2 so much. The lyrics are amazing....I have have songs with good lyrics, or well, it doesn't mean anything. All of their albums sound completely different, yet completely U2...it's strange. They can change their sound in so many ways, yet it's always distinctly them. I could never get bored with their music.

I've seen them in concert 3 times. I wish it was more! (unfortunately I was too young for all of the other tours!) For the concert in Salt Lake City we waited in line for over 12 hours to be up close on the floor in GA. We were there at 5 a.m. to buy tickets also lol. All I can say is WOW. That was like a spiritual experience for me.....they are amazing live!! I like them as people too, not just musicians. Bono really cares about the causes he stands for.

OK, I'll shut up now. I love U2. Crap now you're giving me concert withdrawls!!

p.s. Other band I like.....Our Lady Peace, REM, Barenaked Ladies, Alanis Morissette, No Doubt, Coldplay, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jimmy Eat World....I'm also finding the album by Maroon5 rather amusing. It's unique
