Two actually:
Melissa Etheridge: Truth and a lot of talent. She writes nearly all of her stuff top to bottom. She brings me down to earth and gets me in touch with reality. (Ohh, and I am straight, just so you know). Not every fan of hers is Gay/Les. Although you might get that impression if you went to a concert. Odd.
Jimmy Buffett: Another talented person who writes from the heart and has the ability to tell incredible stories in a few lines. Quite a wordsmith. He takes me away from everything when reality is too much to handle at the moment. They call is escapism. I call it good music.
There are a few others out there that I like, but generally I like to listen to talented musicians. Those who write and compose their own stuff and play many instruments. I just cannot stand no-talent posers who can't play live. I think that is a good judge of talent is how well they do live. If it sounds nothing like the recording then they usually are covering something up with too much processing/effects or post production.
