Garbage ! Shirley Manson have a really beautiful voice! i recommend her first & second album....

Hello, God! in few words
there's something in this world that's more painful than death, it's letting you go.... should i ask you to wait until i can get into your heart? i think i can buy everything in this world if i had enough money, but i can't buy time.... how can i win when he's already taken possession of your heart ?

seems like a lot of UK music is being mention. props for Oasis and Blur and Maximo Park! alternative/indie seems to be the category for these songs. urgh, i can't endure another music genre lesson. i think its best to just go on wikipedia and search for yourselves....!! =]
