Music Favorites: Part One

Welcome to my world of music. I am addicted to music, and somehow the addiction gets worse (in my sense better) each day. So take a seat (you may be here for awhile) and enjoy the read.
[These aren't in any specific order]

First off, we have twenty øne piløts. I've been listening to them since the single "House of Gold" but this year they really increased the fan base. Since their album Blurryface was released, they went on tour and hit top ten songs of the month (March) with the song "Stressed Out." Their music is so relatable and can suit many moods. It's a mixture of reggae, alternative rock, indie, rock, pop, electropop, and so many more. Not only do they have great music, but their personalities are out of this world.

Next, we have Jon Bellion. Not many people know about this musician, but he is amazingly talented. He just released the album "The Human Condition" a few months ago, and I've been obsessed. I got into his music by a boy in my history class, and I hated the music, at first. But, I started listening to his older album, "The Separation," and got hooked. My favorite songs are "2 Rocking Chairs" and "Fashion." He is more of a pop genre of music, which I tend to stay away from, but he can sing. Not like some fake Selena Gomez voice with all of those edits, but a genuine voice that can sing without any mixers or altercations.

The Neighbourhood has been one of my favorites since last year. Their album "Wiped Out" has never gotten old. Jesse's voice is amazing and the band can really play. You might recognize them from their more popular single "Sweater Weather," that came out over three years ago. My favorite songs are "Afraid" and "Daddy Issues." They have a indie vibe to their music, mixed with a little R&B and alternative. I love their music and I wish they would make new songs.

Arctic Monkeys have been around for awhile, now. They have tons of songs that I enjoy, but they're  underrated. They haven't produced any music in a few years, but the oldies are goodies. "Florescence Adolescent" and "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?" are my favorites. If you've never heard of them, you haven't lived.

This band is playing with my mind. They've been around forever. And it's My Chemical Romance. I love this band, but it kills me that they haven't reunited, yet. I especially love the songs "Teenagers" and "Helena." I don't think they'll ever disappear in the music world, although they stopped making music. I'll never forget you.

Melanie Martinez has been getting a lot of publicity, lately. She has gained a lot of fans, but has definitely gained haters, too. Her music style is very indie, but very pop. She has been on the Voice and she could've won, if Adam Levine tried not to change her style (no offense Adam, I still love you.) But her music style is so unique and I love her songs. My song favorites are "Dollhouse" and "Training Wheels." I hope she keeps making music.

Then, there's Bishop Briggs. She only has three songs out, at the moment, but she's killing it. She is so tumblr (I had to say it, she is the definition of a tumblr girl). She can sing, her style is so cute. I love her. You may have heard her in a car commercial, she sings "Wild Horses." She needs to come out with more music, soon.

We now have Halsey! I think Halsey is such a badass woman and an amazing musician. Her voice is something from another dimension. Her songs are beautifully written. Her hair is flawless. Her posters are so creative. If I could have a best friend, it'd be Halsey (or her actual name Ashley, it'd be tiring saying Halsey all the time!) "Trouble" and "Castle" are my favorite songs. You may have heard her on commercials and on the the soundtrack for "Snow White and The Huntsman: Winters War." I can't wait to see what's next for her.

Panic! At The Disco is my life. They've been making music for over seven years, and Brendon Urie (lead singer) just got married not too long ago! Their album "Death of a Bachelor" was one of the top selling albums, this year. I love how genuine his voice is and how great his personality is. My favorite songs are "LA Devotee" and "Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time."

So those are some of my favorite musicians and songs. I do have more, but I don't want you to spend all day reading this. Also, side note, I find it amusing that I take time to write this, but not an essay (sorry, not sorry!). I hope you liked it, and leave me comments on what your favorite music is. I have to go, before my fingers fall off from typing so much… Have a good day!

Also, this is a part one (as you can tell), there will be a part two in the future (if I don't forget.)

  1. I love all kinds of music but some of my favorite bands are Disturbed, My Chemical Romance, Panic at the Disco, Three Days Grace, Nickelback, Avenged Sevenfold, Linkin Park and Device.

    I will say that I just found Melanie Martinez and really like Pity Party. My all time favorite video right now is Emperor's New Clothes by Panic at the Disco.

    1. I totally forgot about Linkin Park. I need to add them to my next list, because they are great. And the Emperor's New Clothes video is so good. I love the transformation, it must've taken hours to apply the prosthetics. In the end, it was worth it. Also, I must say, you have a great taste in music.

    2. THEY'RE GONNA CLEAN UP YA LOOKS, WITH ALL THE LIES IN THE BOOKS, TO MAKE A CITIZEN OUT OF YOU.....

      (Sorry, I just really love that song)

      Yeah, we are surprisingly similar when it comes to our taste in music. My favourite genre has to be indie-rock (Ruelle, Bastille, The Script etc) and have you heard the song Car Radio by Twenty One Pilots yet? It's beautiful. I love it so much (Tyler + Josh = angels).

      Do you like Fall Out Boy?

    4. No problem. And p.s. Bastille and Fall Out Boy are on my next music list! I love Car Radio, it's probably my third or fourth favorite song of theirs.

  2. Yess Panic! at the Disco. My friend introduced me to them. Brendon Urie's vocals are just amazeballs.

    1. I know! It's somewhat unusual how well he sings, I love it! :)

  3. Panic! At The Disco is also my life! But, there is only one incorrect fact that I know of... Panic! has been making music for 12+ years, not seven... Other than that, amazing post. I totally relate to every word.
