Lessss seeeee...there's:

Queen

Elton John

The Eagles

Eminem (huge trouble starter... excellent performer... great songwriter)

Canibus (intelligent lyracist)

Tupac (poetic genious)

Dave Matthews Band

Cypress Hill

112 (my favorite r&b performers)

Kurt Cobain (changed the face of Rock'n'Roll... bye bye hair bands)

Linkin Park

Staind (the man has excellent lyrics, and his apathetic voice is awesome)

Steve Tyler (how many voices can you recognize the instant you hear them?)

Axl Rose (epitome of 80's metal w/ a grinding voice... what could be better?)

Everlast (jazz, country, and hip hop combined... not the best lyracist, but definately has a unique sound that you can't help but like)
