That and the limited skips per hour are to do with getting licenses to play the songs.

brooklyn, her first gig was at Carnegie Hall at the age of 14,
Phenomenal acoustic blues goddess)
Ry Cooder, check out 'Paradise and Lunch' has a guitar-piano
duo with a real piano legend, Earl 'fatha' Hinds, a cut called
Ditty Wah Ditty.
If you are into vocals, check out Cry Cry Cry.
Phenomenal accapella and great songs by Richard Shindell,
Dar Williams and Lucy Kaplansky.
If you like acoustic american old timey or would like to check it out,
try Norman Blake, Far away on a Georgia Farm and Fields of
November.
Another genius in this genre is Freida Epstein and Acoustic Attitude,
She taught John McCutcheon the fiddle. Check him out also.
Mick Maloney is a pretty famous Irishman here in Philly, had a group
called Greenfields of America, great irish music, the musicians
were all winners of the all-ireland music contests.
There are many more I could think of but don't want to have a
ten thousand word document here. Good luck.

Please recommend some bands to me, along with a reason for your recommendation. Don't bother with the obvious, I already have over 11 Frank Zappa albums.[/b]
If the Beatles had stayed together long enough to start jamming with Led, they would have eventually stumlbed across what Gomez has been doing since they started.
I think they have completely blown up, but the Matthew Good Band is worth a listen, as well.
He's not a band, but certainly records with one, Bruce Cockburn is difficult to beat as a singer/songwriter.
Pure pop, try Wes Cunningham.

Originally posted by hopscotchIf you like Zappa, then you like quirky - look out for Shriekback (Black Light Trap is stunning) and also Pavlov's Dog. Both oldish bands, but different.

In fact, Shriekback is probably right up your street - from a Zappa man.
