ngl, it's hard for me to believe that some people on here actually list ayumi. for you to like all or nearly all, you have to love almost all of her studio, remix, acoustic orchestra, classical, and compilation albums, and singles. and so far from what I've seen. ninety percent of the people on this site really don't like half of what I just listed.

interludes, remixes, orchestra... you say they don't count. like HELL they don't count. they're just as much a part of her discography as any original mix studio song.

Ayu
Hikki
Madonna
Beyonce
Mylene Farmer
Emilie Simon
Ivete Sangalo

in test: Marisa Monte
Maybe in future: Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus

I actually really like all of her instrumentals. I don't LOVE them, but then again, I'm not an instrumental person. At all. So for me to like them even a little would be amazing, but I actually enjoy them. :yes Kinda the same with remixes, although there are plenty more to love, of course. There have been very few of her remixes that I didn't like at all, and it was either because I didn't like the actual song or (most of the time) because it was a traditional dub (I really dislike those remixes -.-).

ok im not sure of my list but oh well :P

Koda Kumi is the only artist I think I can love almost everything she's released. I'd say around 98% of her discography.

Michael Jackson
Vienna Teng
Dead Can Dance
Tori Amos
Cocteau Twins

Namie Amuro
Of Montreal
Lizzy Grant
Lily Allen
Ayumi Hamasaki
Emilie Simon

I'm only counting people with more than two studio albums, cuz it's EASY for me to say alan or abingdon boys school or school food punishment or immi or furukawa miki, but honestly, they don't have enough material for me to really know for sure yet.

Ayumi Hamasaki (yes, even with Picaflor's criteria. I'm crazy! XD)
Garbage
Tori Amos
Utada Hikaru
B'z (yes even their old dorky stuff, I don't know why I like it but I do)
Do As Infinity
Faye Wong (yes even her old crappy r&b stuff... see B'z :P~)
The Beatles
Fleetwood Mac (...honestly, I feel like Fleetwood Mac (Lindsey/Stevie/Christine/John/Mick) is a different group than Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac... so I'm not sure if this one counts or not)
Death Cab for Cutie
Alanis Morissette (even her very cheesy canadian dance/pop albums. Again, I'm crazy.)
Aikawa Nanase
Anggun

For me:

Ayumi Hamasaki 90%
DBSK 5%
Wonder Girls 5%

Ayu won! She's the best for me.

ayu
tohoshinki

2NE1 - well new but they are LOVE :luv2

A few years ago, it would have been Ayu. I genuinely loved all of her songs back then. Now I really only like most of them, love a few of them, and there are some that I don't like at all... x_x

Right now though I think ONE OK ROCK is the most perfect band that has ever existed. <3 I freaking LOVE everything by them except two of their songs. They're just epicamazing.

I think w-inds. are pretty perfect too. Even though I don't like all of their songs, I can't say they need to improve on anything. They're perfect the way they are. :yes

Ayumi Hamasaki 98% <3 <3 <3
BoA 65% (her older stuff is better to me)
Hikaru Utada 65%/Utada 50%
Kana Nishino 96%
Ayaka 75%
Namie Amuro 85% (her newest stuff is the best!)
Anna Tsuchiya 75%
Kumi Koda 65% (her older stuff is better, imo (exception: TABOO)
Akino Arai 85%
Nanase Aikawa 75% (her old stuff is THE BEST! Seven Seas *_*)
Nana Katase 60%

Wonder girls 90% (I'm excited about their US debut!)
SNSD 70%
Hyori Lee 60%

*None of the other Korean artists do anything for me.

Stefanie Sun Yan Zi 80%

*I don't listen to that much Cpop anymore. Stefanie is the only one that ever stood out to me.


-lol just realized all of my favorite artists are females. I'm just not too into male Asian voices I guess. Unless it's Bollywood baby! Oh wait..I do like Dir en grey and a FEW songs by Gackt. That's it.
