Ohh, wow you guys! ^_^ I haven't had time to listen to all of these yet, but I will try tonight. I did like Brooke Fraser, though, Carzee! For some reason I was expecting country -- I think it's the name -- but the acoustic pop was a pleasant surprise. And you since you mentioned Dixie Chicks, well, what about the Court Yard Hounds? :) Can't forget them!

And I have heard of Feist, at least, Soda, but you have reminded me that I do need to get myself a copy of at least one of her albums. Gave one to Mom for Christmas (or maybe her birthday?) one year, but it ended up living in her car, so I never get to hear it. :gonk:

On another (heh) note, you may have noticed an artist listing with links to posted videos. The asterisks next to each name link to the post where said artist was first mentioned, but... I have this feeling that's going to get messy and distracting. So... Instead, is it okay if I take those away and add a disclaimer instead about where the suggestions come from? If anyone's curious about them, they can always search the thread. (Also, genre is always up for debate! Especially since I'm pretty much relying on Wikipedia...)
