I enjoy the occasional rap song...the rare country tune...but if i had my way everyday in the world of music, it would consist of a plethora of good music. It would involve the following bands:
-The Beatles
-The Who
-Led Zepelin
-The Steve Miller Band (in their hay day)
-Simon and Garfunkle (sp?)
-James Taylor
-The Carpenters
-Relient K
-FM Static
-Jimmy Eat World
-The Shins
-Fountains of Wayne
-Jet
-Cake
-The Strokes
-Pedro the Lion
-Rilo Kiley
-Howie Day
-Damien Rice
-Death Cab for Cutie
-Copeland
-The Wallflowers
-Something Corporate
-Fall Out Boy
-Guster
-Jason Mraz
-Story of the Year
-Switchfoot
-Yellowcard
-The Starting Line
-The Format
-The Flamming Lips
-Tegan and Sara
and last but not least
-Phantom Planet
This is quite the list and it certainly doesn't include all bands and songs that i enjoy. This is just the bands that came to mind today at this very moment. And even though it is a make-shift list...it does the world of music justice! Wouldn't you enjoy music like this?
You might be thinking..."None of this is the same genre of music." Well Duh. Its good to have many influences in music, i mean if you just listened to the same thing all the time, then what fun would it be to sing along to songs with your friends that they enjoy, but you don't? I have to admit, most of my music tastes have come from these wise people:
-My Brother, Brandon "the intelligent" Otte
-My Best Friend, Jaime "the beautiful" Bodden
-My Parents, "Ma and Pa" Otte
-Myself, yeah, that's right
However, i'm open to any new stuff...not gonna say i'll enjoy it as much as these bands, but i'll give it a try. If you have varied opinions of this and want me to hear your music...send a CD and we'll see...Care to make a wager? Or if you agree on my tastes and want to make a CD for yourself and just burn all of these bands on one CD and make an extra, you can send that to me too :) Alright, that's my view...I'm out.
