my music taste is pretty scattered heh
my favorite band is probably...Arctic Monkeys.
others are Mayday Parade, La Dispute, the Wonder Years, anamanaguchi, stars, brand new, all time low, los campesinos!, silverstein, & daughter. I have a ton more but I find myself listening to these a lot depending on my mood lol. those have the most plays on my itunes and stuff.
i was a huge fan of paramore when I was younger. still a goal in life to see them live.
 
A Day to Remember, Mayday Parade, Go Radio, Secrets, Issues, and Dangerkids are a few of mine!
 
English: The Hush Sound, Mice Parade, Yes, Death Cab for Cutie, Radiohead, Explosions in the sky...

Japanese: Ellegarden, Supercell, Spitz, B'z, The Brilliant Green, Ent, Tokyo Incidents, Soutaiseiriron, Genki Rockets, Mono, Anoice, World's End Girlfriend, toe, ELECTROCUTICA...

I should really try to listen to Led Zeppelin but considering how long they've been around, it's a bit daunting.
 
I'm more a fan of solo artists for the most part, but I love The 1975. I also listen to The Neighbourhood and Arctic Monkeys a lot, they're great. & if groups count, One Direction and Fifth Harmony have some good pop music.
 
I've been getting into The Brilliant Green recently also! Somebody over on Nyaa uploads a bunch of "obscure" or at least lesser known Japanese artists every so often, so I discovered them through that person. Also, KAREN.

About Led Zeppelin - may I ask why it's daunting? Is it the huge discography thing that's discouraging you, or something else about them? (Avoid their Coda album like the plague btw. Give it as wide a berth as you can. If you ever do get into them, do not start with that album)
 
Passion Pit
Folly & the Hunter
Owen Pallett (aka Final Fantasy)
Hey Rosetta!
Kishi Bashi
One Direction (no shame, friends)
Snow Patrol
f(x)
SHINee

My music tastes are a little all over the place, and I like it that way. I love quirky indie pop, I love alternative music, I love instrumental and post-rock, I enjoy a lot of kpop, I enjoy a lot of the top 40 pop. Life's too short not to jam to pop music.

Well, there's two things and the huge discography would be the first XD
Secondly... if I do like what I hear, it's going to take a while to accumulate enough funds to own the cds.
I hope they don't have different album covers for different regions because that will be really painful on my wallet.
And LPs.

(I really like the LP+digital download format that indie labels use to release stuff these days; colored vinyls are so cute.)
 
I knew someone would mention The 1975. They're my favorite band at the moment! HAIM is great too. Maroon 5, the Gorillaz. The Knocks. Breathe Carolina. I feel like I'm forgetting a lot of 'em.
 
I have way too many and I'm blanking right now (usually do when asked this question tbh) but I'm pretty obsessed with Arctic Monkeys right now. I love everything about their music. So good.
 
I love Fall Out Boy!
I also like Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Fireflight, Skillet, Evanescence... my all time favorite band would have to be Icon For Hire though.
 
Green Day, or Linkin Park, or Queen. I love Fall Out Boy, Fun., the Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay and Franz Ferdinand, too, but a little less than the others.
 
Thinking of giving Amy Winehouse another shot. I love ZZ Ward, Gin Wigmore, and similar artists (if anyone has any recommendations for similar artists, I'm all ears! Though Last.FM is usually good enough for that, their algorithm is far from perfect) but I just love women with powerhouse vocals and jazzy inclinations and... guhhh, I could melt just thinking about it ♥

I totally agree about the colored vinyls. I wish I had a way to play them, but that would be yet another hobby that would suck up what little money I have to throw around these days... they're so irresistably cute though!

And yeah, I can see money being an issue. The nice thing is, you can stream a lot of their music and figure out which albums have your favorites on them, then only buy those ones. Or you can just stream perpetually and never spend a dime, heh.
 
lemme add
Blur (the new album sounds amazing and decided to re-visit their older stuff. Forgot how much I loved 'Girls & Boys')
Childish Gambino
Rainbow (the kpop group not the metal band, their new single Black Swan >>>>)
 
Linkin Park, Coldplay, Queen, Nirvana & Radiohead are my all time favourites! Although I could name over 30 other bands I absolutely love!

If I had to name two I'd probably go with The Killers and Coldplay, though I can't say I've really been into Coldplay's recent stuff.
 
As of late, I'm really interested in Steam Powered Giraffe and My Darkest Days.
My overall favourites are Fall Out Boy, 3DG, Seether, Evanescence, and The Birthday Massacre.
 
Bastille is my all time favourite, other faves are Coldplay, Clean Bandit and Little Mix. Tbh, I'm more of a solo musician person.
