Our lists are similar!

– The Beatles

– Pink Floyd/Led Zeppelin

– Simon and Garfunkel/Etta James (at the moment, number 3 changes a lot)

Moving along in our God given ways, safety is sat by the fire/Sanctuary from these feverish smiles, left with a mark on the door.

Um… do singular artists (not bands) count? If so:

1. The Beatles

2. Regina Spektor

3. Um… um… ????? Maybe Coldplay?

4. ??? Maybe Michael Jackson (sorta)? I don’t know… there’s probably something obvious I’m missing…

I used to be really into Pendulum (drum ‘n bass) but that love has sort of gone now so ehm..

I like Coldplay, Muse, the Killers, Pink Floyd, System of a down, Metallica and Foo Fighters a lot.

a-hard-days-night-ringo-8 The Beach Boys and Dave Brubeck, nice! I’m curious as to why you’ve stated PF post Barrett, though.

^ Hey, I listen to the Monkees sometimes. Not genius work, I don’t think, but the kind of easy-listening I put on to do my homework. Nothing wrong with that! :)

Looking back at my list I realized something, I’m and idiot. How on Earth did I forget my second favorite artist Bob Dylan! And also Elvis and Chuck Berry!

And now I remember the obvious ones I was missing:

 

1. The Beatles

2. Regina Spektor

3. The Shins

4. Journey

5. Michael Jackson

 

…That’s all I can figure out right now.
