Everyone knows all the classic stuff you hear in karaoke bars, but I always enjoy artists that can make lyrics that you love singing along to.

I’m not necessarily talking about the best lyrics or the most thoughtful, but the ones that you love belting out with confidence even when a friend is in the car. Think Bohemian Rhapsody scene from Wayne’s World.

I’m curious if there are some lesser-known artists that are just as fun to sing along to, but never got their time on the radio.

I love singing Muse or anything similar. Huge range from deep to high.

Of course it's also fun and easy when the subject of the lyrics is something you feel.

I recommend Motion City Soundtrack if you like pop punk. Pop punk is perfect for this actually

For me? Anything by Chris Smither or Kelly Hogan.

I'm quite partial to Kirin J Callinan - S.A.D. (video is slightly NSFW depending).
