This is a hard one. At the moment, I have lots of favorite songs, but bands? It's been a while since I've found a single band that I listen to exclusively. Or maybe I do and just don't realize it. Looking at my iTunes, I guess I could pick three that I listen to the most.
1. Tegan and Sara. They have that feel good, background music that sounds similar but each song is different when you focus in. It's generally light hearted and easy to listen and fall asleep to. I got all their albums a few months ago from my roommate and I've been in love ever since. I never realized I would consider them a favorite, though, until now. Hmm. They would be a lot of fun to see in concert, I think.
2. Dari. People make fun of me to no end about this band- they're four guys, straight out of Italy. Well, they haven't quite left Italy yet. That's the problem. They only sing in Italian songs in a style that's not necessarily popular in America anymore- the sort of popish punk with some techno thrown in. But these guys are what really got me interested in studying Italian. I signed up on a whim, and was doubting if I should stick with it or go back to Spanish. I was on the MTV Italia site when I saw some of the TRL videos. 'Casa Casa Mia' was one of the songs, and it had a simple enough title that I could understand. And it was love ever since. It's so crazy, but it definitely gave me an incentive to learn the language (marry the frontman named Dario) and I could always find a way to relate some new grammar back to one of their songs. To this day, I listen to equal, if not more, Italian music as I do English.
3. My Chemical Romance. I have such a history with these guys. They were the first real band that I LOVED. Obsessively. Stephanie and I were little ninth grade groupies and went to about 5 concerts over the years. They're not nearly as popular as they were way back when, but no matter what they do, I know I'll be loyal and follow them. Even if Gerard, who I was supposed to marry, had a daughter named Bandit. That's the only stupid decision I think they've really ever made.
