We'd like to start with...
Garbage
Garbage are a Scottish/American alternative rock band formed in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1994. The band consists of Scottish vocalist Shirley Manson and American musicians Duke Erikson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig, and has counted worldwide album sales of over 17 million units. Garbage released a string of increasingly successful singles in 1995–1996, including "Stupid Girl". Their debut album, Garbage, was an unexpected smash, selling over 4 million copies and certified double platinum in the UK, USA and Australia. Garbage won the Breakthrough Artist award at the 1996 MTV Europe Music Awards.
Garbage spent two years working on follow-up album, Version 2.0, which topped the charts in the UK upon its 1998 release and the following year was nominated for two Grammy Awards, Album of the Year and Best Rock Album. Version 2.0 went on to match the sales of its predecessor. Garbage followed this up by performing and co-producing the theme song to the nineteenth James Bond movie The World Is Not Enough.
Despite being named one of Rolling Stone's Top 10 Albums of The Year, Garbage's 2001 third album Beautiful Garbage failed to match the commercial success achieved by its predecessors. Garbage quietly disbanded in late 2003, but regrouped to complete fourth album Bleed Like Me in 2005, peaking at a career-high #4 in the U.S. The band cut short their concert tour in support of Bleed Like Me announcing an "indefinite hiatus", emphasizing that they had not broken up, but wished to pursue personal interests. In 2006, Vig returned to producing while Manson recorded a solo album. Garbage ended their hiatus in 2007, and released greatest hits retrospective Absolute Garbage.
The band began work and recording their fifth studio album in 2010, and have confirmed that they will tour in 2011 in support of the album.

This is one of our fave songs, Why do you love me? Listen and enjoy.
Lyrics:
I'm no Barbie doll
I'm not your baby girl
I've done ugly things
And I have made mistakes
And I am not as pretty as those girls in magazines
I am rotten to my core if they're to be believed
So what if I'm no baby bird hanging upon your every word
Nothing ever smells of roses that rises out of mud
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
You're not some little boy
Why you acting so surprised?
You're sick of all the rules
Well I'm sick of all your lies
Now I've held back a wealth of shit but
I think I'm gonna choke
I'm standing in the shadows
With the words stuck in my throat
Does it really come as a surprise
When I tell you I don't feel good
That nothing ever came from nothing, man
Oh, man, ain't that the truth
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
I get back up and I do it again
Get back up and I do it again
Get back up and I do it again
Get back up and I do it
Do it again
I think you're sleeping with a friend of mine
I have no proof
But I think that I'm right
You still got the most beautiful face
It just makes me sad
Most of the time
I get back up and I do it again
Get back up and I do it again
Get back up and I do it again
Get back up and I do it
Do it again
Do it again
Do it again
Do it again
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
I'm no Barbie doll
I'm not your baby girl
I've done ugly things
And I have made mistakes
And I am not as pretty as those girls in magazines
I am rotten to my core if they're to be believed
So what if I'm no baby bird hanging upon your every word
Nothing ever smells of roses that rises out of mud
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
You're not some little boy
