    Your favorite band of the moment?

    I'm currently obsessed with The Decemberists. I love kind of "funky" music, especially with interesting lyrics and interesting rhythmic patterns and melodies. Their songs read like novels, I find it fascinating. Plus the intellectual elitist in me loves the clever use of words that could be found on an SAT 2 vocab list, lol!

    I'm also just getting into Toad the Wet Sprocket. (I'm slow, I know.)

    BF's band of the moment is Copeland. I think their music is pretty, but it seems just a little bit forced. The lyrics especially. I like them, but they're not one of those bands I can loop all day, know what I mean?

    Anyone else have a current musical obsession? I know DPU's rocking out with My Chemical Romance, lol! Big Smile

    Nothing new! Same as in 1987! Things certainly haven't improved any since LOL.

    Panic! at the Disco. The Beatles (talk about slow... 19 and I'm just now getting into the Beatles.) I have some toad the wet sprocket, but I haven't listened to it much, I have too much other random crap on my computer. Right now I'm big on Jenny Watson too... I don't know. I have strange tastes in music.

    lol you all sound like my BF... he's obsessed with "TOOL" and all of "those" bands.... when I first heard "his type" of music I looked at him and said "you were that kid in high school with long hair and those black rock t-shirts weren't u..." lol he laughed (aka YES!)

    well i'm part of the "ghetto-fabulous" nation (meaning I grew up on Rap/Hip-Hop and only that). I know since then have branched out and for "bands" I would have to say my all time favorite is Linkin Park. I do enjoy Seether, Shinedown, Daughtry, P.O.D. idk that type of stuff is cool too.

    lol sorry just had to laugh at the fact I said ghetto-fabulous... "errr body in the club getting tipsy" oh man i was such a lil snob in high school

    But now I like his music and he now likes mine... I should YouTube him attempting to do a "ghetto" dance...

    Not a band but I love Taylor Swift's new song "Picture to Burn" and her "Our Song" is one of my all time favs.

     Some of my favorites at the moment are:

     

    Fallout Boy

    Our Lady Peace

    Avril Lavigne

    Dropkick Murpheys

    Finger 11

    Live

     

    I listen to one of those bands at least once a day. It changes all the time though lol.

    I probably shouldn't be admitting to this one, but the one I am listening to most at the moment is probably the Spice Girls. I'm going to the concert next week too. I swear, it's because I'd like to return to the days of my youth, when life was just so much easier.

    I'm like Gina in that my musical tastes don't change, and I don't branch out (although not like Gina in the 1987 sense..haha). I really really hate that punk-y sound that most alternatives bands have now..but the funny thing is I hated it even when I loved Good Charlotte (though I think that had a lot to do with them being from my hometown), and they clearly have that...

    Basically..the only bands I could stand to put on loop all day are Sublime, Green Day, and (not a band, but) Eminem. As my best friend says "You have no taste in music. The only bands you like are bands that EVERYONE likes, from middle schoolers to middle aged men." Hmm

    I love alternative rock stuff from the mid 90's (like 93-97) though.. that's when my oldest two sisters were teenagers, so I know practically ALL of it, and it's actually pretty good.

    Otherwise, I just get obsessed with certain songs by bands I would never listen to a whole CD of...

    • Gold Top Dog

    I've had the same faves since I started listening to music:

    U2

    David Gray

    Indigo Girls

     

    I also really like The Killers, Bruce Springsteen, Lokua Kanza, Peter Gabriel, The Cure, Eva Cassidy,  Arcade Fire, EAV (German band), Green Day, The Clash, Coldplay and a whole mess of world, contemporary classical, and African stuff no one here has probably ever heard of!
