Hip-hop is only a "stage" if you listen without a discerning palate. If your "Best of" list is comprised solely of current and/or former Top 10 radio hits, for instance. Which is not the same as saying anything that gets radio play is of questionable quality.

Rap was certainly a stage for me, though it still kind of carries over, and most of the rap I listen to now is from the early days of rap. Mostly the 90s but some stuff from the 80s, so it isn't really that. But anyhow, buckeye, you hit a ton of my favorite artists, and jibe, I love Bullet With Butterfly Wings. That song and Tonight, Tonight kind of go back and forth as my favorite songs by Smashing Pumpkins, but I love the kind of over the top ambitious style that they use in a ballad setting in Tonight, Tonight, so that's why I went that way. Also, I love Rascal Flatts and they're one of my favorite current country artists... can't believe I forgot to mention their song These Days, which is my absolute favorite by them. Also, love that Azar song. That was one of the songs I kind of grew up listining to. Also, mojolad, I absloutely love Tchakovsky and that particular symphony of his is absolutely epic.

OH! If we talk country, we gotta talk Zac Brown Band. Only country I even like a little, and I LOVE them. "Free," "Toes" and "Chicken Fried" are great songs, and their lesser known ones are just as good.

"The Zac Brown Band appeals to people who like to listen to Buffett, Dave Matthews, and James Taylor and have every song be indistinguishable from one another."
