Brian Hodgins · Jan 7, 2012

4. Charlie Parker
5. Rush
6. Louis Armstrong

Really hard to narrow this down to 10 for me. I could probably just requote most of the lists people posted above me for my top 100

There are also a lot of individual songs that give me goosebumps too, but either I never heard much else by that artist or it just did not have the same effect (Carl Orff- Oh Fortuna).
