I was hit up for this on Facebook. It's a fun list, I figured it was worth sharing here. Feel free to take a stab at one of your own.
Rules: We all know that musical taste is subjective. One person's "essential" is another person's "not my cup of tea"! But...thought this would be fun. List 50 music artists who you consider essential...and the song that you most relate to them. This is fun...I'll start the ball rolling. I believe that you can tell a lot about a person by the music that they listen to.

Nice list. I won't give you 50, but I'll counter a few of yours.
Guns N' Roses - Every Rose
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
The Police - Wrapped Around Your (My?) Finger
Elton John - Tiny Dancer
The Eagles - In The City
Ozzy - Shot In The Dark
Rolling Stones - Angie
And I would put Styx in my top 50. Probably Chicago, Billy Joel, ABBA, and a few others too.
I have no idea what that says about me.
It says you like a variety. The GNR cover of Every Rose is better than Poison? Billy Joel is one great, I just don't care for... ABBA is not a favorite of mine, either. Nice picks otherwise.
Oops. You caught me. I meant Poison for Every Rose. We can leave your GNR pick alone.
