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)
  

A Rush fan! Highfives to you!

They are, without a doubt, a fantastic band. I have yet to hear a song by them I didn't like. My favorites are The Camera Eye and The Analog Kid.

I really love Alexi Murdoch. My brother first introduced me to his music about four years ago, and I haven't looked back since. Maybe it's just the sound of his voice: that sort of monotonous, deep voice that you'd think would become quite boring, but for me ends up being very mesmerizing. Kind of like Duncan Sheik (who I also love), but with a much deeper voice, I suppose.

I've only just been introduced to Amy Macdonald after watching an episode of the Graham Norton Show and hearing her sing there. And then of course there's Sigur Ros - I can listen to anything from them on any day of the week, and it never gets old. Absolutely beautiful.

Party on, Garth.

You need to listen to the Hlemmur soundtrack they composed. It is stunning.

Did I forget Mindless Self Indulgence? Damn. Same with My Chemical Romance, those are long time favorites. Oh, since MSI, The Left Rights go without mentioning.

relevant.
my NIN tattoo, which I adore.

Like someone above stated, I rarely listen to "bands", just to music. My collection is really eclectic, and I rarely buy whole CDs, but rather pick and choose whatever sounds good. Of all the bands I've listened to, I suppose The Beatles have been the most consistently entertaining. I also have a chronic weakness for older Dir en grey and Super Sentai theme songs.

Recently, I've been digging a group called Hey Ocean!. Bit of a pop/jazz band from Canada whose lead singer voices Rainbow Dash and Applejack from the new My Little Pony (yes, my dorkness knows NO bounds.)
