[Melancholy]

So, in response to an AMAZING post i stumbled upon, started by my new idol Karuka, i have decided to make a similar thread ^^ What is this thread about, you ask? Why, none other than.... MUSIC! I was wondering if anyone could give me a list (the longer, the better) of any and all songs or bands that they love (preferably bands that aren't extremely big and popular yet). I am a self titled music collector, so I would be forever in debt and gratitude if you guys could post at least one or two bands? Thank you soooooooo much! And, just to be fair, I'll start it off-

Polkadot Cadaver
Dog Fashion Disco
Anberlin
Emilie Simon
Emilie Autumn
Senses Fail
Chiodos
Aiden
Alesana
I set my friends on fire

....Uh so thats all I can come up with off the top of my head heh but they all rock ^^

ah yes, btw, Ill take any type of music heh (Hard, soft, happy, sad, screamo, emo, english, japanese, and anything in between) So again, thank you muchly ^~^

I don't pay attention to the whole obscure/mainstream label thing. If I like a band, I like a band; end of story. That said, here's a list of some of the artists I listen to.

Modest Mouse
Silversun Pickups
No Doubt
The Hives
The New Pornographers
Neko Case
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Jurassic 5
CSS
The Killers
Daft Punk
Muse
MGMT
The Black Keys
Flogging Molly
The White Stripes
The Raconteurs
Five Degrees of Soul

I'm also fond of the local jazz radio station. Don't ask me to recite names of jazz musicians I like (other than FDoS); since I don't pay attention to names when it comes to jazz. I just listen.

[Tainted Bushido]

Apocalyptica
Reach 454
Within Temptation
Lacuna Coil
Gravity Kills

Those are the more obscure ones, though Apocalyptica has become more mainstream recently.

More Mainstream I have a fondness for

Limp Bizkit
Saliva
Drowning Pool (Before the Lead Singer Died)
Disturbed
Offspring
Metallica

Music forms a large part of my life, so its always nice to have something running in the background. Even if its just for bedtime I have some music constantly going.
