>David Bowie
Storytelling and artistry in lyrics, frequent variety of genre changes and overall "coolness"
>Bob Dylan
Blend of contemporary folk and folk rock, down-to-earth and political writing and love-it-or-hate-it voice, plus harmonicas
>Janis Joplin
Love-it-or-hate-it voice, down and dirty blend of psychedlia, blues and country rock and Southern aesthetic

Can you give some examples of the opposite - Artists you like that most people don't and what you see in their music?

bowie wasn't really famous until ziggy, and i think you have to be a bit joyless if you can't get anything out of that album
