Once you've bought one of his songs, you've basically bought them all. I've just never liked anything by Cee-Lo except when he did Lil' Star with Kelis. I don't mind David Guetta, though he shouldn't be too high because he doesn't sing and he's incredibly generic.

With partner Magoo, he is a member of the hip hop group Timbaland & Magoo and is the older brother of rapper Sebastian. He released his debut solo album, Tim’s Bio: Life From Da Bassment in 1998, followed by Shock Value in 2007, and its follow up, Shock Value II in 2009. He has produced hit tracks for many artists and has his own record label, Mosley Music Group. Timbaland is similar to producers such as Norman Whitfield in that he helped to redefine the sound of an entire genre of music with an immediately recognizable production style. The songs he produces feature unusual arrangements, sounds, and instrumentation, tied together by a trademark sense of rhythm. Like Spector and Whitfield, Timbaland’s production sometimes overshadows the credited performer and becomes the actual “star” of the song. With songwriters Steve “Static” Garrett and childhood friend Missy Elliott, Timbaland has helped to create some of the most successful songs in modern pop music and urban music, including singles for Aaliyah, Ginuwine, SWV, Total, and 702. Mosley grew up in Norfolk, Virginia, where he became acquainted with Missy Elliott and Melvin Barcliff, whose MC name was “Magoo.” Originally a disc jockey known as “DJ Timmy Tim,” Mosely began making hip-hop backing tracks on a Casio keyboard he owned. In 1993 Elliott heard his material and, taken by Mosley’s unique sense of rhythm, immediately began working with him. " ePyRrb2-fzs Edited August 3, 201113 yr by Leonardo

He is best known as the frontman of the pop rock band, OneRepublic, though he has an independent career as songwriter and producer for various artists such as Beyoncé, Far East Movement, Jordin Sparks, Leona Lewis, Adele, and Paul Oakenfold. Tedder is credited with having written the two most played songs in radio history (“Apologize”, “Bleeding Love”), a record broken only by himself. He has received a total of four Grammy nominations, two for Beyoncé’s “Halo”, one for Leona Lewis’s “Bleeding Love”, and one for his own band OneRepublic’s single “Apologize”. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Tedder is of Welsh descent and was raised by an extended family of missionaries and pastors. He began learning to play the piano at the age of three via the Suzuki method. His early interest in music was prompted by his musician father and school-teacher mother, who coaxed their young son into practicing piano in exchange for candy corn. Tedder started singing at the age of seven.A self-taught vocalist, Tedder began honing this skill at the age of twelve by imitating his favorite artists, who ranged from The Beatles to acts as diverse as Peter Gabriel, Stevie Wonder and Sting. He has commented, “I sang for two hours a day every day of my life until I was eighteen.” He continued to perform musically during his adolescence through church, school, and personally formed groups.

August 3, 201113 yr 'Secrets' is a brill OneRep song. Hung around for yonks in America too I remember despite not charting that high. I will always love MCR. Really because their first 3 albums are all solid and for me far more consistent than Muse's work (who are also excellent). I also got into them at a rough time in my life and really found the lyrics interesting and thought provoking. The new record is pretty decent also but it just doesn't pack the same punch.
