    I have been listening to Anthony Hamilton's music recently and I must say I am very impressed. I was also surprised that he hasn't garnered much attention in terms of awards or sales although he has had 1 platinum album. It got me to thinking that there are probably a wide array of musicians who are very, very talented but we don't ever hear about them because Britney Spears and Soulja Boy are being shoved down our throats or in our ears.

    Who are some of your favorites that don't seem to get the respect they deserve?

    A Place to Bury Strangers... in the same vein as Jesus and Mary Chain.

    Oh well, at least that means I get to see them in a really small venue next week. :)
