Music. I absolutely love music. There is nothing better than sitting on a comfy couch, sipping on some goodness, and listening to awesome vocalists and baaad guitar players just wail! its awesome!
For the sake of this blog i have only picked three bands to talk about, because if i were to get into all the bands i like we would be here forever. Now, the three bands i mentioned are actually not in my top 5 favorite of all time, bc they are just tooooooooo awesome to put on a list, especially a list made by a no one like me. These are my top 5:
1. P.O.D.: the first rock group i ever listened to. they opened the doors to so many others!
2. Paramore: relateable lyrics, raw talent, awesome vocals
3. Underoath: first screamo band i heard the combined actual real singing with screaming. Not to mention the hottest man alive, Aaron Gillespie is in this band!
4. Vampire Weekend: my indie crack!
5. Shiny Toy Guns: amazing blend of electronica and rock!
Overall, i have a pretty wide range of music interests. Look through the band on my ipod and you'll find anything from iron maiden to lady gaga, or my chemical romance to the backstreet boys, or animal collective to the ramones.
now...lets start with journey..
WOW!!!! they are awesome! i first heard journey when one of my aunts (who is still living in the late 70's and early 80s) had them on a cd (along with lots of abba!). i dont know what it was, but i was so intrigued by their music..their lyrics were more than "shake it girl" or "oh boy i want you" they were actually saying something...not to mention the great musicians they actually are, and their lead singer hits notes no one else can! ahhh, the beauty of the 80's and 90's. :) songs by journey i would recommend: the classic, "Don't Stop Believin" (which has been on repeat on ym iPod for about 2 weeks now) and "Wheel In The Sky" and "Open Arms"
The Cure. they came to me at a time in my life when i was getting so tired of all the mainstream GARBAGE people were playing on the radio. i was out of the country on a trip and one fo their songs came on MTV en ESPANOL! and i fell in love instantly. now, the Cure is def not the happiest and more positive of bands, but i love theim. their style is so unique, and their lead singers hair is amazing! lol. songs i would recommend: their version of "Love Song" and "The End of the World" and "Boys Don't Cry"
the yeah yeah yeah's, my first taste of wierd indie music. now, personally, im and indie chick because indie music isnt so mainstream, it always takes a life of its own and most indie music is like nothing you have ever heard before. it doesn't have just one sound. awesome! but the yeah yeah yeah's...man...where do i start! i first heard them my freshmen year of high school when their song "Maps" had gone big. I started looking into their older music and fell in love with it. The lead singer has a voice like i never heard before and man can she rock a mic. songs i would recommend "Date With The Night" and "Maps" and "Phenomena"....wierd stuff, but no doubt absolutely terrific!
If you haven't heard any of the bands mentioned, go ahead and take a listen. lets break the mold that young people only like to listen to fabricated rap songs that all say the same thing and sound a like..lets expand our minds here people.
peace, love, and happy muffin cake pie deliciousness..
