[20 Good Reasons – Thirsty Merc]
I had a request for me to blog about what music I like. It takes too long to do all of them so I think I’ll do them in installments.
So today is A B C and D.
The All-American Rejects – I wouldn’t say I like all their songs but quite a few of them are very catchy and likeable.
Dance Inside, Can’t Take It and Paper Heart are a few examples.
All Time Low – I’m pretty sure hardcore All Time Low fans will shun me for saying I pretty much only like Six Feet Under The Stars that I’m aware of.
Anberlin – Um, I really don’t know if you guys noticed but I pretty much like all their stuff, but even more from Never Take Friendship Personal, Cities, and a few songs from New Surrender.
American Hi-Fi – I used to only have The Rescue so when I heard The Geeks Get The Girls I found it hard to believe it was the same band.
Amy Meredith – I heard Lying on the radio but when I got my hands on Young At Heart, I liked it more.
Anya Marina – I admit I heard All The Same To Me on The Vampire Diaries, and Googled it. But I like it so it’s all legit.
Ashley Parker Angel – His stuff is a bit average but I like the tune of Beautiful Lie.
The Ataris – I’m pretty sure they have other stuff but I only have The Saddest Song.
Augustana – Really, I just like Boston, but I don’t mind Sunday Best and Coffee and Cigarettes either. I like how calming it is, even if the theme might be a bit bittersweet.
Blink 182 – Apart from all the songs that everyone likes, I also like First Date.
Bowling For Soup – As well as 1985, I’m Gay is a really great pick me up. The first time I heard it, I actually smiled.
Boys Like Girls – very obviously, I like the much popular Hero/Heroine and Thunder, as well as Heels over Head and Five Minutes To Midnight.
Busted – I don’t think I can like McFly without liking Busted, and while most of their songs are good, I say my most played are That Thing You Do and What I Go To School For.
The Cab – My friend only gave me a few songs by them but I liked those songs: That 70s Song, Zzzz, Vegas Skies, High Hopes In Velvet Ropes.
Cartel – I like Say Anything (Else).
F*ck You! – Cee Lo Played it over and over again. I like how he sings the bridge.
Nothing – Charice My friend gave it to me and I’d liked her on Glee so I gave the song a shot, and surprisingly I actually like it!
Intensity In Ten Cities – Chiodos I honestly thought it was a girl singing until after a few dozen listens.
The Cinematic Orchestra – To be honest, just To Build A Home. The Schwepps ad!
Sleep With Me – City Sleeps I like his voice.
The Classic Crime – Headlights and The Coldest Heart. They both sound pretty different but they’re good songs.
I skipped over Coldplay but I mean, they’re so famous and so popular it can be a bit of an implied preference.
The Dandy Warhols – Not surprisingly, I like We Used To Be Friends and Bohemian Like You. The former from Veronica Mars, the latter from a car ad that aired here a few years ago.
And finally…
Dashboard Confessionals Dusk and Summer in general.
So that’s A B C and D for now. The next time I remember, E F and G. And maybe H if one letter is small.
Judge away!
Alex.
