10. incubus. they remind me of high school and my first few years of college. it brings me back.
9. bethany dillon. her lyrics and sweet melodies totally influence the artist that i've become. i love her stuff.
8. the civil wars. yes, they're new. and amazing. i've been a fan of joy williams's for a few years, so teaming her up with a guy only makes me like her that much more.
7. coldplay. i could listen to these guys forever and never get sick of them. so good.
6. sherwood. their pop-py, fun, summery sound always puts me in a good mood. always!
5. john mayer. sometimes the lyrics he writes speak directly to me. he's a triple threat. the voice, the lyrics, the songwriting...whew.
4. mumford & sons. yes, they're also relatively new. but there's a reason their tickets were selling for $400 on the street last time they were in the minneap. they are phenom. so, so, so good.
3. hillsong united. the worship tunes that these people come up with almost automatically bring me to my knees. every. single. song. they are just incredible.
2. brooke fraser. my ultimate hero. she inspires me. she's gotta be the most profound, articulate lyricist i've ever heard (without making it so "deep" that nobody understands what she means). her smooth voice with a hint of her accent here and there make all of her songs simply outstanding.
1. mutemath. mutemath mutemath mutemath! aside from the fact that they are one of the most progressively brilliant bands to come out of the last 10 years, their live show is something that no words can describe. they are unbelievable. each and every musician in this band plays a part that cannot be replicated. they are my ultimate #1.
