I'm always looking to being exposed to new music. Awhile back I posted a facebook message asking my friends to suggest an artist. I fell in love with an artist that was suggested and am hoping to find more music that I would enjoy.
So if you have a favorite artist that you think others may not have been exposed to, (Local musicians are always a great suggestion and I am sure they would appreciate the exposure) please post their website or possible youtube link. Post what draws you to the artist you suggest.
ETA:
To add a little meat to the conversation, please listen to the artist in the post before you. Make a comment on what you like or do not like and why. Then continue with your artist and please mention what you like about them. Thanks to Smeth's wonderful suggestion as this will generate some good dialogue.
