Lol. This thread is funny because it reminds me how like, we are all white. Every band listed so far is like a protoypical "white guy" band. Not that I'm a big exception, but my favorite favorites are more mellow than most listed here

All time top 5 (in no particular order)
1. Counting Crows
2. Third Eye Blind
3. Goo Goo Dolls
4. Death Cab for Cutie
5. Toad the Wet Sprocket

Honorable mentions: Train, The Killers, Jars of Clay, Switchfoot, oh man, i better cut things off here, because like 10 other just popped in my head and they all seems so close. Anyway, might as well put a shout out to my own personal band Solid Underground, that kicked it in like 2 years ago... oh well.

Great minds must think alike! I kicked myself for omitting Johnny Cash & Tony Bennett. Cash is the ultimate in country & did a helluva job crossing over w/ his last string of albums produced by Rick Rubin. My favorite Bennett songs are "the Good life" & of course, "i left my heart in SF". Bridge of Sighs is a classic & worked great in the movie about undercover drug narcs w/ Jason Patric & Jennifer Jason Leigh as the cops & Greg Allman as the drug dealer (can't remember the title).
