For a moment, Nas was the reigning Rap king of New York City.  Nas was (and still is) considered one of the great MCs and lyrically he was among the most gifted.  His debut effort (Illmatic) was considered one of the best of the 1990’s and while arguably he hasn’t reached that height since, he has still showcased brilliant Rap albums since. 

Here we have another very interesting Rock and Roll Hall of Fame candidate where you can argue style over substance. 

When it comes to passionate fanbases there are few that can match up with Korn, the Nu-Metal band (a label they are not fond of) from Bakersfield, California.

Many Singer/Songwriter types don’t have that Rock and Roll type of voice but that was not the case for Jeff Buckley as his voice was full of grit, soul and was a throwback to the classic rock era of the late 60’s and early 70’s.  Maybe, it was this aspect that helped him appeal so strongly to the Adult Alternative set and why he continues to gain copious amounts of fans well after his death.
