Gwoarg. That's too hard :drool: My musical tastes are too eclectic.

1. Linkin Park
2. Trading Yesterday
3. Within Temptation
4. Breaking Benjamin
5. Submersed
5. Skillet
6. Chris Daughtry
7. Red
9. Celtic Woman
10. Antonio Vivaldi

...and that's not really accurate, because there are so many other artists that I like just about as much as these ones. I'm a big rock fan, but I also love music in a ton of other genres.
You can find out things about the past that you never knew. And from what you've learned, you may see some things differently in the present. You're the one that changes. Not the past.

I have no obligation to not offend you if I'm speaking the truth. The truth is supposed to offend you; that's how you know you don't got it."

1. Owl City (Fireflies is a very special song to me for amazing personal reasons. Not amazing-ly personal reasons. Just amazing personal reasons. Rainbow Veins is really good, too.)

2.The Wallflowers (An old 90s band. The lead singer is Bob Dylan's son. If you haven't heard them, I suggest One Headlight.)

3. Three Doors Down (If I go crazy, then will you still call me Superman? XD)

4. Casting Crowns (Set Me Free is a really good one they never had released as a single.)

5. Foo Fighters (Another 90s band. I really like Everlong, but the music video...well, let's just say I'm NEVER watching anything my dad reccomends again. It's not bad, it's just stupid.)

6. The Goo Goo Dolls (Iris!)

7. Live (A relatively unknown band. They basically have one certain fanbase, they're definitely not mainstream. I really like Run Away and Heaven.)

8. U2 (If you've never heard Electrical Storm or Stay (Faraway, So Close!) then you really need to.)

9. Gary Jules (Just because of Mad World which was featured both in Donnie Darko (<3) and my marching show this year.)

10. tobyMac (Seriously. I loooooooove hearing Feelin' So Fly, it always brightens my day!)

Agh, I could list so many more! Plus my list looks really different from everyone else's. *shrug*

Everyone complains about how mainstream they are, but...they're still amazing.

Amen to that. Not many people around here listen to that particular combination of artists, which can get annoying. Everyone hates something about my iPod. :(

Now I'm not sure if means they are completely back together or coming out with a new CD but it's good news regardless.
