Favourite artist? I'd have thought that would mean a particular person, not bands. In the case of the former (still active people) I'd have to name, in no particular order:

Nick Drake (alright, he's dead. But couldn't leave him out)
Jón Þór Birgisson (Sigur Rós)
Tom Jenkinson (Squarepusher)
Roy Hargrove
Nick Cave
Efrim Menuck (Godspeed You Black Emperor, among others)
Richard David James (Aphex Twin)
Devin Townsend (SYL, among others)
Lou Reed (well, saw him recently. Was impressed)
Scott Henderson (known from Tribal Tech)
Joseph Arthur
Colin Meloy (The Decembrists)
David Byrne

Hmm. Could be a bit longer, but that's some which instantly spring to mind.
