I go through periods in which I will listen to just one artist. At one time it was Dylan, at other times it was Joe Satriani (yep, guitar player here). Right now my "artist I can't get enough of" is Peter Gabriel. Bought his entire catalog (including the movie soundtracks he did). Fascinating. His music is fun and well constructed musically. Peter draws the easily crossed line between being progressive and being fun to listen to (many modern prog rockers sound like they are playing nothing but scales over and over-not fun. I do that when I'm warming up, I don't need to listen to someone else doing it).

The only thing that will probably break my Gabriel kick now is that it'll be years before he releases another album. Great music, but the guy's a slow worker.
