ktsnake, do you not like the Dixie Chicks' politics, or just those of Natalie Maines? I had read that the other two are much more...restrained.
Tori Amos is one of the most talented piano players performing today.
Justin Timberlake is
fair, not talented within classic parameters, but talented among his contemporaries.
I agree with Norah Jones and Alicia Keys...otherwise, I'm just not into contemporary music.
