Bwah ha ha! First to vote for R.E.M. I might have guessed as much. I do so love being out of the ordinary.
Note: If R.E.M. hadn't been there, I would've gone with RHCP. They're not diverse, per se, but they have a kind of. . . musical bipolarity. Hee hee. I like that term. Copyrighted, suckahs!
Also note: Pearl Jam is excellent as well. I have Elderly Woman Behind a Counter in a Small Town on a CD I burned, and the lead singer's voice in it is one of the best I've ever heard from a rock band.
In addition: If I were going to go for someone funny, I would pick Aquabats. Great stuff there.
Err additionally: The Cranberries. One word: Zombie. One of the greatest songs ever. The lead singer, I think, is Sinead O'Connor's sister or something. Zombie is basically an anti-war song. I think somebody who grew up in Ireland is well qualified to write songs against war.
Insert transition here: The Beatles were great too. Their style changed so much over time, they represent like a third of all that rock has ever been. I lot of their stuff I don't even think of as rock. Were they not extremely shibby?
