It distracts us
I've already written more today than I have in a month, so in the spirit of actually being on LJ, I've decided to post 26 songs that I enjoy immensely, ranging in alphabetical order (artist).
A
Anberlin-Cadence
B
Bayside-A Rite of Passage
C
Coheed and Cambria-A Favor House Atlantic
Your eyees tell the stories of the day you wish you couuuld~
Awesome fucking song.
D
Danzig-Thirteen
E
Evans Blue-The Tease
In my opinion, one of the greatest fucking recent bands. Second only to Rishloo. Which sucks, because once I get to R, Radiohead is going there by default. Or both. ....Yeah. Both.
F
Fleet Foxes-Blue Ridge Mountains
Yes, I dig this hippie shit.
G
Garbage-#1 Crush
Still an awesome song, to this day
H
Hawthorne Heights-Ohio is for Lovers
Don't even ask me why I like this crap.
I
Two for the price of one-
IAMX-Spit It Out
This song is just hngh.
Incubus-Oil and Water
Beautiful, heartbreaking shit.
J
Juno Reactor-Pistolera
Fuck yes.
K
Kings of Leon-Use Somebody
*hums*
L
Ludo-The Horror of our Love
Just. Yes.
M
Manchester Orchestra-Where Have You Been
This very easily goes into my "Holy fuck, this song is better than your life" category.
N
New Order-Ceremony
&hearts
P
Parabelle-A Drop in the Ocean
So when Evan's Blue stupidly replaced their lead singer, he went off and formed Parabelle, which is now better than the newly formed Evan's Blue. By far.
Q
Queen-Don't Stop Me Now
Shut the fuck up. This song is pimp. Guhraviteee~~~
R
All the Rs. Or some of them.
Radiohead-Everything, ever. But for now: Weird Fishes
In Rainbows was one of the greatest albums of my generation. This is not up for debate.
Ra Ra Riot-Can You Tell
This is definitely one of my zen bands.
Rishloo-Everything, ever. But for now: Eidolon Alpha
Everything about their sound is flat-out gorgeous. From their music to the vocals to the lyrics. They create this ambiance that hasn't been achieved by anyone, even if they may have come close.
Rise Against-Voices off Camera
S
Saybia-Untitled Bonus Track
T
The Temper Trap-Soldier On
I've had this song stuck in my head for like six days.
U
The Used-The Taste of Ink
I was going through a phase. I never quite got over it.
V
Vampire Weekend-A Punk
Another phase. I think I got over this one.
And thanks to drjmaxwell, Sir, VNV Nation. (I totally forgot they existed)
W
White Lies-Almost everything, ever. But for now: Is Love
There are few newer bands that successfully capture elements of older music and keep it current enough that they're not just a retro band. They do this beautifully. I can't wait to see them. T_T
X
DMX :| Ruff Ryders Anthem
I'm sorry. This song was my shit, once upon a time.
Y
You Say Party, We Say Die!-Stockholm Syndrome
*bounces*
Z
Led Zeppelin (:3)-Communication Breakdown
Bro, Zeppelin. That is all.
Same bands, different songs, easier listening:
