Lauren, how could you make me choose between Florence Welch and Marina Diamandis? You terrible, terrible person. I ended up picking Marina because I'd just been watching "Oh No" on YouTube before I checked my flist, but it was a close race there. Also, I haven't listened to any Bats for Lashes songs aside from "Two Suns" and "Sleep Alone," but Sleep Alone is on my current writing playlist, so Natasha Khan cane third. Arrgh Britain, why do you put out so much quality stuff?

("America" all the way. My dad was actually a Shark in his high school production of WSS, making him quite possibly the only Puerto Rican in history with flaming red hair. Also I'm not a huge fan of/haven't seen the other musicals on the list, so.)
