Favorite Bands/Artists/Songs/Etc. - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Voxxyn · 08-18-2006, 07:41 AM

Just as with the original thread, you know what to do.

My favorite bands/artists are as follows, in no order except the first few:

Radiohead, Muse, Coldplay, U2, Travis, The Verve, The Mars Volta, Sufjan Stevens, Pixies, Interpol, Franz Ferdinand, The White Stripes, The Killers, The Stone Roses, Oasis, Blur, Stereophonics, Keane, Doves, Snow Patrol, Manic Street Preachers, Arctic Monkeys, Feeder, Suede, Starsailor, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Perishers, Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party, Beck, Hard-Fi, Editors, Modest Mouse, a-ha, Tears For Fears, Gary Numan, and Depeche Mode.

Many of these bands are British/UK-based rock, which seems to be the music I gravitate towards. Coldplay gets extra credit for being my personal gateway band, I heard "Speed of Sound" on the radio last summer, which led to me getting their new album, which led to me getting their other albums--and then decided to look up bands similar to them, thus directing me to most of the bands I just listed. Before that, I wasn't really into music, but it's now one of the most important things in my life.

That's not all I listen to, though. I love discovering new music, and am willing to listen to anything as long as it's not manufactured radio garbage.

As for you...?

Well, first I'd like to start off by saying that before I list ANYTHING, don't be quick to judge! I like listening to J-pop! THERE, I SAID IT!!!! BUT besides that, I also like:

Coldplay, Rebecca St. James, Barlow Girl, Superchic[k], Keane, Tobymac,
KJ-52 and John Reuben

I think that's it. But those are only my FAVORITES. I'll listen to anything, just so long as it's not Country or extremely heavy Screamo(or however you spell it).

kageri · 08-18-2006, 08:21 AM

J-pop (of the synthy, hyperactive variety... don't ask), Jim's Big Ego, They Might Be Giants, Weird Al, Lemon Demon... but yeah, I'll listen to most anything that's catchy and not rap/hip-hop.

Imaginary Light · 08-18-2006, 09:48 AM

Well, I'm really into Lacuna Coil right now. Like, really into them. Like I have to listen to one of their CDs on my iPod everyday. But I also love Evanescence, Seether, Mudvayne, Nickelback, Trapt, Green Day, Panic! At The Disco, Def Leppard and so many others that I could be here all day...

leadballoon · 08-18-2006, 06:52 PM

I'm going to recycle my list off the old site (again!)...

Music is HUGE for me, I really really couldn't get by without it - it's the sizzle to my wizzle

My favorites are Faith No More, They Might Be Giants, Frank Black (& The Catholics, if they're around), Mr. Bungle, Aphex Twin, Pink Floyd (wow!), Pixies, Decay, New Order, Black Sabbath, Depeche Mode, The Blues Brothers (also one of my favorite films!), Michael Jackson, Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention, Brian Eno, The Beatles, The Stranglers, Warren Zevon, Fantomas, Tomahawk, Bal Sagoth, Daft Punk, Orb, Bob Marley, Nobuo Uematsu (computer game music...), Radiohead, Pagan's Mind, The Smiths, The Cure, Spinal Tap, Muse, Primus, System Of A Down, and Mike Got Spiked (a band from Dublin who are AMAZING, and coming to the states soon for a tour I've heard).... *phew*

Sounds like a lot, but I really love all of them, and I spend an unreal amount of time listening to them all I'm going to see Radiohead on the 24th in Dublin, and then Daft Punk are playing the day after in the same venue! I'm so excited...two of my favorite bands EVER! Next week! Ohmygodohmygodicantebelievethatthistimenextweekill haveseenemboth....

I went to the Pulse Festival the other day and saw Barlow Girl and TobyMac...Plus Salvador, Jeremy Camp and Andy Chrisman. Newsboys were there too, but I had to leave early.

I grew up listening to 1960's and 1970's rock (it was on the radio stations that my parents listened to), so I'm partial to music from that era. The Guess Who, J. Geils Band, Sly and the Family Stone, and the Beatles are all favorites of mine.

I also own every Weird Al Yankovic album.

I'm also a big fan of the old rap trio, The Fat Boys. Sadly, their records haven't been in print in 10+ years.
