Some of my favorite music artists are super influential or just plain incredible but many people have no idea who I'm talking about. In case you're a fellow fan or haven't been exposed here are some musicians I like to listen to a lot.

I'm into all sorts of stuff, lately it's been Weiss [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT7k6VNxSwM&feature=related"]S.L. Weiss; Ciacona g-moll - YouTube[/ame] But also Das Ich [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhc2-aKLdkQ&feature=related"]Das Ich - Reanimat ( Lyrics ) - YouTube[/ame] Miyavi [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYc82CPTZKs&feature=related"]Miyavi - Itoshii Hito - YouTube[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEH7cphEODk"]Miyavi - Selfish Love - YouTube[/ame] and Carlos Vamos [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwm-vxGgFf4"]Carlos Vamos plays "Little Wing" acoustic tapping version HENDRIX - YouTube[/ame]
Some of my favourites on that list! I'd add Jedi Knights Circle, Gruf, Roots Manuva, MHZ, Ugly Ducklings, Blackalicious. Hmm for our international friends Neil Young, The Tragically Hip, Keith Secola. Too many good songs from each to throw up one vid from each.
Last year I tried to see Gift of Gab at a local venue but they postponed the show indefinitely, I was quite disappointed.
Clutch is probably my all time favorite rock band. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z78PjvfCVTQ"]Clutch - The Mob Goes Wild - YouTube[/ame]
