Favorite Bands?

how did I miss this omg

are sigur ros still active? I loved them when I was younger. Hoppipolla was also used in like, every commercial/movie ever for a while there.

They released an album not too long ago in 2013. Personally, I don't know a lot of their songs. However, I do really like the track, "?sjaki" from the new album. I really like their new album in general.
 
David Bowie (shocker), Radiohead, The Smiths are my holy trinity. Morrissey solo if I feel like adding a fourth.

Oh! Someone mentioned blur. Love them too. And lots of Arctic Monkeys fans. I like them as well. And wow, Joy Division. Yeah. You all like good music.

stars, the libertines, the soviets, weezer, and isbells! I like most genres (and in different languages too!) but things I'd be inclined to buy as records/physical copies for are mostly rock/electropop/acoustic stuff. stars is my ultimate peg for music.

oh also. asian combo breaker: asian kung-fu generation

OH also panic! at the disco for northern downpour. absolutely floored. I know they have some really good old-super old songs that I loved, but northern downpour in composition/arrangement was really something else to me coming from them.
 
My all time favorite band is eels. I think it's because I've related to most of their songs at one time or another. Their music also helped me get through a really tough time in life for me.
 
Talk about a difficult topic.
I don't even think I can pick a favorite band??
But the two I've been listening to the most lately, or rather three, are all kind of?
Off the charts from one another. Like way different scale.
Of Monsters and Men + Purity Ring + Mother Mother = Pretty much my favorite bands.
But of course you gotta get Woodkid in there, as well as Alt-J.

Talk about underrated and under appreciated.
 
My favorite bands of all time are BABYMETAL, The Birthday Massacre, Purity Ring, and Metallica. My favorite solo artists are Kenshi Yonezu and Hiroshi Kamiya(because I'm a total Izaya fangirl).
 
Phoenix, Arctic Monkeys, The Shins, The Strokes, Fall Out Boy, The Radio Dept, Animal Collective, Chon, The Black Keys, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac. Just a handful of my favorites! (x
 
Oh, and let's not forget Frank Zappa.

And Les Razilles Denudes

:)

I actually saw Zappa Plays Zappa last year, doing their Roxy & Elsewhere 40th Anniversary tour. It was magnificent (they opened with the song I linked)! I'm not old enough to have even been in the world with Frank Zappa (I'm 19), but seeing his son carry on his legacy is wonderful. I'd go see them more but my father doesn't seem as interested and he's my only ride to concerts.

Yay, nice to see more Zappa fans.
