Right now, my favorite artist is Erykah Badu --she is considered the queen of the Neo-Soul genre. Its sounds like modern day R&B, but usually has a more jazzy feel, and a conscious message in the music. Neo-Soul really puts me in an easy going laid-back mood (and I'm a laid back person already), and makes me feel like I can relax. It just puts out a differnt type of energy, as opposed to say rap music, where right now, is nothing more than people telling you how succesful they are in a thousand different ways.
I've been exploring some Alternative Rock also, but this genre is so large, its intimidating. I've spoken to two people who can be considered "Rock heads" and are big fans of the genre, and neither of them have heard of the other's favorite band. The genre is so large, its hard to know where to get started. I don't consider myself a "Rock head" by any means, but out of the bands I tried listening to, Guns & Roses really stood out to me. I heard all their albums, and I can say I found a real appreciation for instruments --especiallly the guitar. I can sometimes just listen to a song only for the sake of listening to the guitar solo.
