I'm pretty sure Kanye West isn't on the spectrum, since most people who are have average to high intelligence, and he's about as intelligent as a potato.

I wouldn't say that! Kanye West isn't known for making the best decisions, but he's incredibly intelligent. He's a phenomenal producer, and his music is very well made and thoughtful. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Late Registration are both remarkable albums, but the former is probably his best. He's a great lyricist and creator.
Anyways, I think that Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys might be an aspie. If you're looking for 21st century stuff, Animal Collective is a band with a solid pop foundation and I wouldn't be surprised if all of the members had some form of aspergers.

As several people have said before me, Owl City is the only one whom I'm sure is diagnosed. He mentioned his Aspergers in an interview and a concert.

I'm talking about singers who would be in the same category as Taio Cruz, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry.


Sometimes Talking Heads sound a lot like Lady Gaga, normally with more substance in their songs though. :D


I'm not talking about music from before the 21st century.


Adam Young, founder of Owl City, is a good one. :)


THANK YOU. I've been waiting for someone to mention him.

"Vacuous twaddle" and "excruciatingly bad lyrics" yeah, I'll admit most pop music is pretty horrible. I prefer Journey, but some modern rock/alternative rock is pretty good.
