Weezer/The Killers (Tie)

Weezer is probably one of the oldest bands that I listen to, in terms of when they started and how long I've listened to them. They have many great songs, and the coolest part is that the guitar work is so simple. If I had to pick just one favourite song, it would have to be "Glorious Day". Moving on, The Killers are also Number One, however, it took them a while to achieve that status. Although I enjoyed their first album, I just didn't like it all that much. Upon the release of "Sam's Town", an album I still frequently listen to, they have received much more of my respect.

Fall Out Boy

I really don't care what people say about this, Fall Out Boy makes good music and I like their sound. It is possible to enjoy sound without the band members that come along with it (not to say that they're necessarily bad). With that said I did enjoy "From Under The Cork Tree" but after a bit just stopped listening for a while. Shorty after the release of "Infinity on High" I listened to that frequently, and still do; I also just started listening to "From Under The Cork Tree" again.

Nine Inch Nails

I absolutely love Trent Reznor; he's probably one of the best musicians to ever live. If not the best. This made me very sad when he released his recent works of "Year Zero" and "Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D", because they did not seem like his best work to me, and I do, in fact, hate those two albums. Some of the better ones include "Broken", "The Downward Spiral", "The Fragile", and "Things Falling Apart".

Breaking Benjamin

After one of my friends introduced me to Breaking Benjamin, I couldn't stop listening to them. They're easily one of the best bands I've ever heard, and I can't wait for them to release a new album. While their earlier works are definitely better, "Phobia" remains a good listen and is not by any means a bad album.

Linkin Park

One of the most interesting things about Linkin Park is how different their third album is from their first two. "Hybrid Theory" and "Meteora" almost sound like the same CD just released over a few years. "Minutes to Midnight", on the other hand, sounds like something fresh and new - a good start to a band that had two very, very similar albums. I look forward to a follow-up album, and will definitely be getting it shortly after its release.
