Bronski Beat.  Erasure.

Seconded for both. I even like the record Bronski Beat did after Jimmy Somerville left. Erasure were pretty much the first group I ever liked when I was 8. I'm 25 now and I still have a lot of time for them.

Also, this is only potentially embarrassing to an FOT, but Tom Waits' "Step Right Up" has been one of my favorite songs for years.

Billy Joel.

Yup.

I've always thought he was cool. My hip-o-meter is way off.

Ween.

I could do without the juvenalia and misogyny, but their adeptness with different genres makes for a fun mix-tape of a career.

I love that song too--a creative writing teacher played that for our class in 11th grade, and I've been a Tom Waits fan ever since.

Oasis, for sure, and all of that mid-90's Britpop stuff that everyone else has been finished with for ten years.  The Spice Girls.  Is it cool or uncool to like Amy Winehouse? I don't know, but I do.  I also think that Paris Hilton single "Stars are Blind" is really catchy.  I kind of like some No Doubt/Gwen Stefani stuff, too, but what girl didn't own a copy of "Tragic Kingdom" in 1996?  Beth knows what I'm talking about, I bet.
