K-pop.
J-pop.
And all the other pops that you could ever think of! But at the end of the day, it's always alternative rock that stirs me most. Be it local or international. I just love 'em!
For the past years, I have heard, read and watched about alternative rock bands or any bands, here and abroad and never miss the opportunity when they're featured on television programs. Let's say, I'm a sucker for bands, and I want to support them for as long as I could. Especially the old ones (sorry for the term 'old'). Who could resist them? I want to witness them til the end. And so for today, I shall reveal to you guys my FAVORITE and TOP bands. Yes, I have to make an emphasis on those words for there are so many bands out there that I really do admire. But these guys, not only did their songs made its way to me but also their vocalist/frontman. *Opps! Guess I just spilled the beans right there -giggles-
So, here are my TOP-FAVORITE bands:
On the 5th spot is THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS. The band behind the songs You Better Pray, Cat and Mouse, Damn Regret, and Your Guardian Angel, to name a few. I'd say, my first encounter with these guys was way back high school when I mistook their lead frontman as female! I mean, with those long, sleek-straight hair, anyone could mistaken him as girl, on the first glance. But nonetheless, they've made themselves known and their songs. Good job, you guys! Keep up the good work!
On the other hand, the 4th spot goes to none other than the trio-band from Europe, THE SCRIPT. Yeap! These guys have already conquered not only Britain and States but also Asia to South Africa! How cool is that? I'd say, they're just as cool as their hits! Some of their greatest songs had been featured in famous tv programs such as Ghost Whisperer & The Vampire Diaries.
Have you heard their songs yet?
3rd spot, SIMPLE PLAN! Oh yeah, baybeh! They've been in the music industry for as long as I could remember. These French-Canadian rock band are the ones behind the songs we love to sing along with when we all go "emo" such as the songs Welcome to My Life, White Lies and their recent hit Summer Paradise (not really emo though). Oh, those good old days. Glad to have the guys back on the music industry again.
2nd spot, PARAMORE.
Remember this scene? Those clothes? And the setting? Well, one thing's for sure. When you ask average people who/what the band PARAMORE is, they'll answer you "..the band who sang DECODE, from the movie, Twilight..." straightaway! (Which is totally true.) But even before that, the band was doing pretty well especially during the whole Paramore Riot! period where people and fans all over the world Riot-ed along with them and the Farro brothers was still with them. Now, they're only down to 3 members; Hayley the vocalist, Jeremy the bass guitarist and new member Taylor. I gotta be frank, right after Josh and Zack left the band, their popularity declined and there isn't much news about them nowadays. Too bad. They were a good band. They still are! But not as nearly good as they were before.
And last but not the least, my TOP favorite band of all time, LINKIN PARK!
I can still recall my cousin playing LINKIN PARK songs way back, along with some other bands, whenever I go to his room. Let's just say, he was the one who influenced me with all this bands that I've been so crazy about. I'll have to remember to thank him properly. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have come across Chester and his gang. *giggles*
Well, there are 2 reasons why I love Linkin Park. First, their songs, especially Crawling, Leave Out All The Rest, Numb, What I've Done, New Divide; they're my all-time favorite! Second, I've always thought Chester and Eminem are twins, and I still do now! *lol* But really, they're just amazing. No matter how old they get, they just keep getting better and better. *sighs* How I wish I could meet them. "Linkin Park-in-flesh-meets-Jess" hmmm......not such a bad idea. Though, I wonder, WHEN WILL THAT BE? Hhahhahahahah
Seriously, I wanna meet them.
'Til next time, dear readers! ^^
Love lots! -xoxo
