Who, out of your entire music library would you classify as the "softest" or lest intense. I would have to go with America ("Horse With No Name", "Ventura Highway", "Tin Man", "Sandman", Riverside" and "Sister Golden Hair"). They may be folk-sounding and rarely use Electric, but damnit, they can write some good chords.

I'll be surprised if anyones heard of Joseph Arthur in all honesty but Michael Stipe was influenced by him and REM were pretty big back in the day.

Yup. Common, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Michael Franti, Jamiroquai, Counting Crows, CCR, Matchbox Twenty. That'll do.

You can't.

My second girlfriend got me hooked on Abba. She would be constantly playing something by them, and whenever we were in my car she'd stick in an Abba CD.

Either Owen or Nick Drake.

I believe Owen takes it though. Maybe American Football.

Here's Owen. You can see how soft he is in this video, and it's an amazing song.

Probably Neutral Milk Hotel. I listen to some other "soft" bands, but's that's probably the best when you compare them.

Great band, although not very soft. I can see how they could be the softest people listen to though.

Well..most of my stuff is pretty heavy, so probably Incubus...I don't have any of their stuff, but I don't mind hearing them, so Prince or Micheal Jackson would be up there too...

Lately I've been listening to Grizzly Bear.... very relaxing good stuff. In general most of what I listen to fits this category. The Dirty Projectors, The Microphones, the Silver Jews, High Llamas, Joana Newsome, Architecture in Helsinki, and Al Green.
