Goodness sake I love music, I thought it was funny because this topic description included "Love country" and I personally think that is the absolute worst form of music out there, sorry country lovers but it almost makes rap/hiphop look good.
Finding good Music, I would like to say, is like finding a good friend. There is a lot of music out in the world and it may take some searching to find your Music preference, don't listen to music because it is on the radio or MTV, yuck. Mainstream music is a bit silly. The music I find to be in my favorites is music that I had listen to for actually quite a while before I started really liking it, and now I absolutely love it. To keep you from reading more text than you want I'll go ahead and post some of my favorite bands:
Bloc Party, Daft Punk, Ratatat, Modest Mouse, Coheed and Cambria, The Shins, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, We Are Scientists, Wilco, Arctic Monkeys, Bright Eyes, Iron and Wine, Calexico, Cold War Kids, Against Me, Billy Talent, Death Cab for Cutie, Postal Service, Guster, Jet, The Killers, Killswitch Engage, John Mayor, and many many more
nice taste in music... if you like iron and wine you might like sufjan stevens and anathallo and if you like the shins you might like the helio sequence and grand archives...
Hendrix, The Allman brothers, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, The Mars Volta, Pink Floyd, U2, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Simon &; Garfunkel, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, UB40, The Who, The Beatles, Rory Gallagher, Chuck Berry, B.B King, Marvin Gaye, Richie Havens, Soundgarden, Swasticow.
i don't like mainstream, too. I like many different kinds of music, depending on how I'm feeling. Some of my favourite songs are Paradise City by Bossa'n Roses (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-VEACcGCMM), Somewhere Over The Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OMLoAtC9RY) and Hit'em Up by 2Pac (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4HjsZqOaQ0)
nice list of songs :] most of them i don't listen to because i dont listen to a very 'opular' music category (screamo,metal,death metal, ect.) but the list is still good
