No Doubt - crossover
Maroon 5 - crossover
The Police - crossover (Love "Roxanne &, Voices Inside My Head)
Lenny Kravitz (our own hybrid  )crossover, but definitely a rocker
Hall and Oates - Blue eyed soul, with a spash of pop rock
Robin Thicke - Blue eyed soul
Teena Marie - Blue eyed soul
Jon B - Blue eyed soul (underrated, CD's are consistenly good, needs a comeback soon)
Joss Stone - Blue eyed soul
Michael McDonald - Blue eyed soul |
I think we might be able to add Phil Collins/Genesis to that list.... "In the Air Tonight" is another one of those classics (thanks to Miami Vice). And where do we place little Justin? Crossover I think.
LOVE Pat Benatar, Love Maroon 5, the Police, Hall & Oates.... Lawd havemercy, I would LOVE to get Lenny Kravitz in a room alone for a couple two three days, um, hours, er, I mean minutes.....
dang, what was I saying??? LOL
Oh yes.... I totally agree with VirtualViolet about Jon B. He was consistently good, and I would love to see a comeback (but he did have a CD out what, in 05 or 06?)
Great topic, I could talk about music for days!
