Il Divo, the international quartet of young male vocalists from the U.S., France, Spain, and Switzerland, may have come together after a long talent search and audition process (run by no other than Simon Cowell of 'American Idol' fame), but the deceptive ease of their harmonies belie the group's unconventional roots. And their television appearances have garnered them a *lot* of fans--in fact, their self-titled debut entered the U.S. charts at #4, a record for a British-signed act. We asked Carlos, Urs, David, and Seb to share with their fans (who are eagerly awaiting the third album, Siempre) and Amazon customers some of their favorite songs, and were very excited to read what they had to say. We hope you are too.

"Somewhere Else" ~ Somewhere Else, Pt. 1, Razorlight Trashy...love it, like the spirit.
"Ne Me Quitte Pas" ~ Infiniment, Jacques Brel A classic great singer and composer. I feel even more in love when I hear this song.
"Stairway to Heaven" ~ Led Zeppelin IV (aka ZOSO), Led Zeppelin This is the first song I learned to play on guitar--what a song!
"Hotel California" ~ Hotel California, the Eagles I played this song on the street busking when I was 16 years old to see whether I was a good guitarist, and the only reaction I got was someone who threw water at me from their balcony. Can you imagine?
"Such Great Heights" ~ Give Up, the Postal Service The Postal Service is a great new band with great beats and cool lyrics. This track is my favorite by them.
"Big Weenie" ~ Encore (Deluxe Edition), Eminem Eminem is by far my favorite rapper. His words truly make you think.
"Trip Like I Do" ~ Vegas, Crystal Method In general I stick with techno. These last five songs are reflective of my general taste. Oceanlab and Micro are cool, Prodigy brought it up, and Crystal Method is just classic!
