This is how it goes. The user who replies to this thread have to state how they come to know the artist stated by the previous poster.
So the first part of your reply would be the answer, the second part would be an artist for the next poster to answer.

For example :

On American Idol in the third season there was a red headed contestant by the name of John Stevens. Now, at the time I only liked him cuz he looked just like my neighbor/best friend. Later, when he released his album I found it was all in the style of Frank Sinatra. I fell in love with it. It was slow, and smooth, and just had an air of forgotten charm about it. Soon I got some of the actual songs too. I still love them.

The "CSI" franchise. Every show in it has a song from "The Who" as the theme song that plays in the opening credits. ("Who Are You?" for "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (the original), "Won't Be Fooled Again" for "CSI: Miami," and "Baba O'Reilly" for "CSI: NY") Also, I think the guitarist was a special guest on one of the episodes on one of them, if I'm not mistaken.
