MODEST MOUSE. <3 <3

Wow....what an eloquent and meaningful post, Tori.

I personally listen to songs primarily, rather than artists. As a post on Unpopular Opinions a while ago said, I don't listen to bands, I listen to music. There are, however, a few bands whose songs I have consistently enjoyed.

• Rush
  
• Evanescence
  
• Smashing Pumpkins
  
• Nightwish
  
• Megadeth (particularly Rust in Peace; easily one of my favorite albums ever)
  
• Metallica (but only Ride the Lightning through Black Album)
  
• Bornholm (very little-known Hungarian melodic black-metal band)
  
• Autumn Above (also very little-known local band; they describe their style as acoustic progressive indie rock)

I think dropping the usual rigor we apply to our grammar is one of the best compliments a grammarian can give, Tori.

I just recently downloaded a generous amount of OFWGKTA albums, and I have enjoyed Frank Ocean and Earl Sweatshirt's the most. I can't wait for Ocean's Def Jam re-release; the packaging is part of the experience for me.

Other than that, I enjoy Casiokids, Starfucker, and SebastiAn. Yes, I really am that esoteric in real life, it's a fatal flaw.

I really like Skillet.
Recently, I found Noah and the Whales. They're basically awesome.
I listen to a lot of top 40 crap, because it's fun and energetic.

I absolutely love Eisley. Sherri and Stacy DuPree seem to have a way of reading my mind and transcribing it in the most eloquent way.

Lately I've also been listening to a lot of Copeland, The Envy Corps, Athlete (<33333), The Honey Trees, and States.

[Tori]

I really should download some Athlete....the only song I've heard by them is "Chances", which was featured in the GORGEOUS Doctor Who episode Vincent and The Doctor.

That song is so beautiful, god. Every time I listen to it, I still see Vincent spinning and staring at the paintings in my head.

That name is begging to be executed by the space bar.

(However, I do like "The Pursuit of Happiness")

Yes, I love fun. The Gambler is my favorite song.
And Sufjan is amazing, I love John Wayne Gacy Jr. If you like Sufjan, you should look up Childish Gambino's album Illin-Noise! The Sufjan Stevens Remix album, it's great.

Yeah, I know. I can overlook stuff like that if I like the music enough though, like fun. and mewithoutyou
