For the most part, I'm a sheep. This is mostly because I never have the radio on, and rarely watch TV, so I don't get exposed to new stuff unless it's huge and media over-hyped.

I never watched American Idol, but some Clay Aiken guy is from Raleigh, so the radio station that wakes me in the morning absolutely fawns over his stuff. He has a nice voice, and I might Kazaa a bit of it and check it out, but I doubt I'll actually buy it.

Normally my acquaintences tell me about what they're listening to. Steve has introduced me to Dream Theater (who do a KILLER cover of Elton John's Funeral for a Friend) and Third Day, so I'm listening to some of that, and there's a group called EastWest he's shown me yesterday that I think I could get into.

Mostly though, I just listen to 70's rock (BTO, Boston, Ted Nugent), 80's stuff (Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Prince), 90's stuff (which includes the British stuff like M people, Oasis, Ant & Dec) and the really big stuff of the 2000's.

And of course, from the 60's to the present has been my all time favorite in the WORLD, Neil Diamond. I love that man. I guess that makes me a black sheep, eh?
