Thought this would be a good topic idea, so what are your favorite non-metal and non-hard rock artists (if any)?

Some of mine are:

Gentle Giant
R.E.M.
Ozric Tentacles
Bjork
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Loreena Mckennitt
Kraftwerk
The Offspring
Deadmau5
The Suicide Machines
Pink Floyd
The Orb
Yes

Huge list even if we exclude hard rock and other metal-related subs, including Marillion and many neo-prog bands, jr-f bands like Miles Davis and associated, old school punk, symph prog acts like Yes and Genesis, some alt rock including Smiths and Jam, classic rock bands like the Beatles / Stones and other rhythm & blues rock bands to hard blues and folk-rock.
