Damien is damn good but to bad for him Radiohead exists and so do the Beatles. He better be damn consistent to catch up with them.

WTF TORI!?!?!? I can't stand that sh*t!!!! lol to each their own i guess

i voted yes, but it was not 100 percent honest.

damien is probably my favorite all around musician, however, i don't put him in the catagory of electroic ****, which for me would be the Postal Service. I like the postal service just as much as damo, but they are different styles so i can't say one is better then the other. also, i'm a HUGE hiphop and rap fan. not to mention if i had to listen to one thing the rest of my life.. i'd probably choose something like paganini or bethoven or something classical.

but for what i listen to the most.. i'd have to say damien is def. the most common thing in my cd player and i can never get tired of his music

All-time favourite artist? No. I love his music, but in a competition with Botticelli, Shakespeare, Patrick Kavanagh, Rushdie, Renoir, Márquez, Cartier-Bresson and a bunch of other such people, he doesn't stand a chance.

Edit: Of Musical artists: He's still not the only one. I love quite a few musicians equally from different genres. I can't say that Damien's singing is beter then Jordi Savall's Viola da Gamba playing. If this is still too broad, of popular musicians, he is my favourite

I'll also jump on Rai's Bresson bandwagon.

Wow, Bumpman, that really reinforces the "retro hipster" identify you've tried to carve for yourself

As for me, I definitely prefer Nick Drake over Damien. His guitar playing is better. His singing is better. His music is better. His lyrics are better. Damien is a better showman, I dare presume. I also prefer Simon and Garfunkel.

Edit: Well, if you include rock artists, I prefer the Floyd and Sigur Rós.

I listen to him the most and he inspires and amazes me most, so i guess he is. But by no means is he the only one; there are plenty of other "favourites" in a word that i love to listen to and that inspire me.

I have a few favorites, but they all sing different music, such as Damien and Coldplay, so I can't really compare them and place one artist above the others.

damien rice and band are incredible and touched me in a special area that i hadnt been touched in a long time, it felt really good. and i came back for more. but i could say alot of other people have touched me in the same area alot more, some of it felt better and some of it hurt

all in all i like the area they touch. damiens touch ranks up there but not quite all that.
