<p>The Alkaline Trio is pretty awesome.</p>
<p>Blondie. Or The Go-Gos. Or The Shins.</p>
<p>another one: The Police. too bad i'm broke and can't see them in concert :(</p>
<p>Wow I saw the Police in concert the other night and they were great. But I didn't really know much about them before going to the concert. Killers are great, so is TV on the Radio.</p>
<p>^ lucky ;)</p>
<p>Anberlin and Maroon 5
Apoclayptica maybe</p>
<p>"the music is all jingly-jangly like"
Ha! That's one of the most accurate descriptions of the Smith's sound that I've ever heard...
If anyone is interested in them, I'd suggest starting out with "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" as that is, arguably, their most famous song.</p>
<p>My favorite band is probably the Magnetic Fields, or Neutral Milk Hotel. I feel guilty naming NMH, though, as I haven't had the chance to buy "On Avery Island" yet (either I'm at a music store and broke, or at home with money.... sigh), I only have all of the songs downloaded. Built to Spill is also up there, though!</p>
<p>And The Postmarks. I listen to that one song, Goodbye, every night. It's like my lullaby.</p>
<p>modest mouse's black cadillacs and bukowsky = life.</p>
<p>The Decemberists</p>
<p>The Arcade Fire!!</p>
<p>Motorhead and System of a Down are for me.</p>
<p>I couldn't possibly pick a "favorite," but i really like The Faint. and I second the Arcade Fire.</p>
<p>The faint is great, as well as the Arcade Fire! </p>
<p>I currently love the bands Voxtrot and Belle and Sebastian. I'm an indie-music kind of person ;)</p>
<p>Decemberists are good, </p>
<p>but Jethro Tull are the unparalleled best.</p>
<p>indie music is tops.</p>
<p>anyone listen to rap? Also anyone hear of Paramore?</p>
<p>The Arctic Monkeys
so freakin amazing</p>
<p>the lyrics are just.....insane. </p>
<p>But its competely in a Northern England accent/slang, so some of the words you have to look up.
Like, the song "A Certain Romance" is supposed to be about "chavs" which I had no clue what they were, but it ends up that they're basically British ghetto-wannabes who often wear reeboks, converse, and sweat pants tucked into long soccer socks. Makes so much more sense, haha. </p>
<p>One of the best things about them is that they're even better live. Check out the YouTube videos of their performances. The ones of the Coachella Festival are the best. </p>
<p>The other best thing is Alex Turner.
omfg.
:P</p>
<p>My favorite songs:
A Certain Romance
Fake Tales of San Francisco
From The Ritz to The Rubble
I Bet You Look Good on The Dancefloor</p>
<p>edit: oh and they're basically indie-rock.</p>
<p>voxtrot. they are amazingggg.</p>
<p>THE SHINS, but i have so many more, and the title says band</p>
