10 artists that aren't for everyone, but I love


I personally don't believe there's any artist that's right for everyone (no, not even the Beatles). But there certainly are some with more mass appeal than others like U2 or Coldplay or Bon Jovi. Here are 10 artists that are decidedly not for everyone but I love them anyway. You might like them too if you listen to any of the artists I mention in parentheses (but no promises, really):

1. Kate Nash (Feist, Regina Spektor)
2. Rachael Yamagata (Colbie Caillat, KT Tunstall)
3. Duncan Sheik (Keane, Coldplay)
4. Elizabeth and the Catapult (Brooke Fraser, Mandy Moore)
5. Ben Lee (John Mayer, Joshua Radin, Ben Folds)
6. Jason Robert Brown (Jonathan Larson, Stephen Sondheim)
7. The Eames Era (Sara Bareilles)
8. Ingrid Michaelson (Feist, Regina Spektor, Sara Bareilles, Mandy Moore)
9. Counting Crows (Dave Matthews Band)
10. Ben Folds (Ben Folds Five ;) , Ben Kweller, Ben Lee)

What artists do you listen to that are definitely not for everyone?
