Re: Top 10 Artists
Damned hard question!
I have no concrete answer, but a tentative list of 10 would be:
Falkenbach
Ensiferum
Immortal
Darkthrone
Naglfar
Bathory
Marduk
Wyrd
Korpiklanni
Tyr
Lots of other bands could have been named...If I make another list of 10 in a week or two I'm sure there would be a few changes to the list.

JB or CCR could potentially be replaced with Luca Turilli or Nox Arcana. What can I say -- I like a lot of great music!

Re: Top 10 Artists
This is kinda in order, but my favorite bands change so very often.
Streetlight Manifesto
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Death Cab for Cutie
Less Than Jake
Alkaline Trio
Against Me!
Arcade Fire
Bright Eyes
Suburban Legends
Dan Potthast
There's a lot of bands I could put in place of Dan Potthast, considering he's only one guy his scope is kinda limited, but he's so damn addictive.

Re: Top 10 Artists
My musical taste is undergoing a shift right now, but here's what it's been:
Meatloaf
Alison Krauss
Goo Goo Dolls
Simon & Garfunkel
Flogging Molly
Madonna (can't help it)
Johnny Cash
Michael Ball
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Bernadette Peters
Israel Kamakawiwo (sorry! I couldn't stand to kick any of the other ones out)
I like distinctive voices. Maybe Bonnie Tyler should go in there just for that.

Re: Top 10 Artists
This is a tough one. I have a clearly defined top 3:
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Modest Mouse
Rise Against
After that it gets a bit more muddled. I suppose:
The Offspring
The White Stripes
Robert Allen Zimmerman (If you don't know who this is, google it and prepare to feel retarded)
Jimi Hendrix
Vampire Weekend
Death Cab for Cutie
Led Zeppelin
I could see Coheed and Cambria wiggling into that list in the future, but I'm not sure who it would replace.

Re: Top 10 Artists
It's hard to choose! There's so much distinct stuff I listen to that I wouldn't be making justice to all the stuff I like by just listing artists, but, oh well... here's an attempt.
Unlisted, but deserving: Pink Floyd, Autechre, Radiohead, The Moody Blues, Brian Eno... and others.
- Mike Oldfield
- Os Mutantes
- Jean Michel Jarre
- Squarepusher
- Sigur Rós
- Mogwai
