hmmm, Im a Avenged Sevenfold fanboy (best album = City of Evil)
A7X was the first band I really liked enough to listen to their songs regularly...lol, before them I barely knew how to use my CD player, now I have 3 of their albums on my Ipod. I like their fast tempo and awesome guitar playing (even though I'm a drummer at heart, but the Rev does an awesome job on drums, I've barely heard anyone keep up with his fast beats....but I dont find new bands often so I guess I'm sheltered when it comes to music).

No surprise here --> The Beatles
The Cure, Depeche Mode, The Smiths, The Doors, Pink Floyd, etc. You get the idea.

I'm kinda stuck in the past.

i don't play favorites, but iv'e been listening to alot of "dream pop" like m83, and cyann and ben for example. portland has a great music scene. the reason i moved here in the first place was to see dead moon play again. their new band, pierced arrows is absolutely amazing. i grew up listening to anarcho bands and college rock, but im more interested in jazz, klezmer, and so called noise..
