When it comes to rap/hip hop, I prefer the old artists, such as Run D.M.C. and those two mentioned. No offense, but I'm actually suprised you know Tears For Fears. Most people I mention them to usually don't know who they are, until I mention how Gary Jules covered Mad World. I'm happy though that you know of them :).

I also forgot to mention The Doors as an influence. I'd say one of my favorite songs by them is Peace Frog. I also loved Jim Morrison's poetry, as his poetry/songs Far Arden, An American Summer, and A Feast of Friends are good.

I'm glad you share my outlook on music. It's just too hard to narrow it down with all the good music. Also, after going through the library I have on my laptop I also noticed I have some songs from the 50s. There's also this piece by Claude Debussy called Clair de Lune that I absolutely adore. It's from the late 1890s or the early 1900s, I honestly forget.
