Favorite Bands/Artists/Composers?

[bickelz]

Anyone have a short list of their faves?

Mine:
Muse, U2, RATM, Hendrix, Jet, Lady Gaga (yeah!), Lonely Forest (local indie band), Nirvana, 30 STM, Radiohead
I've been trying to listen to some of the romantic composers like Chopin (Nocturne 9 no2 and one of his interludes in e minor) and I like Tchaikolvsky's 1812 overture as well.

This is hard. Probably:

Radiohead, Lamb of God, Nine Inch Nails, The Shins, Metallica, Them Crooked Vultures, The Beatles, Taylor Swift. There are plenty of other bands / artists I like a lot too, but these are the ones I keep coming back to.

Oh I could probably add Tool to that list.
