    This is in order, and #1 is my favourite song, ever. :D

    Band: Pendulum
    Song: Propane Nightmares (Live)
    Rate: 11/10

    Band: System Of A Down
    Song: Aerials
    Rate: 10/10

    Band: Celldweller
    Song: Afraid This Time
    Rate: 9.5/10

    Band: Deathstars
    Song: Death Dies Hard
    Rate: 10/10

    Band: Cherry Poppin' Daddies
    Song: Don Quixote
    Rate: 8/10

    Pretty much covers any mood I'm in. :rolleyes:

    EDIT: Didn't realise we had to rate as well, I know that I voted Afraid This Time as less than Death Dies Hard, but I still like it more so it stays where it is.

    Band: Pearl Jam
    Song: Given To Fly
    Rate: 10/10

    Band: Blue October
    Song: She's My Ride Home
    Rate: 10/10

    Band: Death Cab For Cutie
    Song: Movie Script Ending
    Rate: 10/10

    Singer: Bruce Springsteen
    Song: One Step Up (I picked this one because it so well defines the nature of many relationships after they mature)
    Rate:10/10

    This is my top five, but I have so many that I just picked these off the top of my head. I could have easily included, Citizen Cope, Guns and Roses, Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews, and so on. Too many to mention. :)

    This is a really hard one haha. In no particular order:

    Band- Underoath
    Song- Either "Breathing In A New Mentality" or "In Regards To Myself"

    Band- blink-182
    Song- "Stockholm Syndrome"... at the minute haha

    Band- Enter Shikari
    Song- Either "Solidarity" or "Return To Energiser"

    Band- Biffy Clyro
    Song- "Get ****ed Stud" at the minute though it changes on a regular basis

    Band- Paramore
    Song- "Franklin" or "Conspiracy"

    I'm just going to give them all 10s haha
    And there are a few other bands that could have made it... Though too many to list them all for an honourable mention!

    Gigi, I love how you suggest one song. Four more ought to do it! :D :D


    OK, so difficult. I'm a local boy.


    Band: The Working Title (indie-rock-folk-amazing)
    Favorite Song: Under the Ground (everything else is a close second)
    Band Rating: 10/10 - for the perfect combination of sometimes-whiny vocals and the most breathtaking lyrics ever.

    Band: Sequoyah Prep School (Southern-Accoustic-Rock, not country)
    Favorite song: About Rain (and a lot of their old stuff)
    Band Rating: 9/10 - sometimes the lyrics are too corny or the vocals are too nasally, but those moments are few and far between.

    Band: Escape the Fate (post-hardcore, and, yes, they scream)
    Favorite song: The Flood (and so many more behind that)
    Band Rating: 9/10 - sometimes too much screaming

    Band: All Time Low (Pop-Punk alt)
    Favorite song: Therapy (amazing vocals)
    Band Rating: 9/10 (sometimes their songs are a little too similar)

    Band: Passion Pit (electronic-indie off its meds)
    Favorite song: sleepyhead (only they can make something that sounds like Snow White's chipmunks absolutely addicting)
    Band Rating: 9/10 (sometimes the lyrics can't measure up with the chromatic music)



    And so many more...

    This is a tough one for my first Lounge post.

    1. 311
    2. The Clash

    ... erm. :redface:

    3. Slightly Stoopid
    4. Dave Matthews Band
    5. Dead Kennedys

    I listen to a large variety of music, so beyond those first two I really jump around. That makes it hard to decide beyond 311 and The Clash. They are gods, though, so I guess that makes up for the indecision.
