A very rambly post about music.

HEY!

Angry caps lock, whoops. This blog is gonna be extremely difficult as I'm writing from my tablet, so apologies for spelling mistakes and what not!

So, music. We hear it everyday. Some people like it, some people aren't really interested, and others have an emotional attachment to it. There are so many different genres, ranging from pop to heavy metal to opera. And everybody likes different things. Emphasis on different. It does get a bit ridiculous when I see people getting angry because somebody likes a certain band or artist. If you don't like something that somebody likes, sure go ahead and express your opinion, but LET IT GO. Nobody is your clone and has the same interests and opinions as you, and I'm sure you'd be slightly annoyed if they did. Now that's cleared up :)

If somebody said "Grace, what's your favourite genre of music?" I can say now that I wouldn't be able to answer truthfully. It all depends on my mood really, I have music ranging from indie-pop/pop to rock to, well, enter shikari, whatever genre they are. I was just listening to Lower Than Atlantis, and now I'm listening to The 1975. Before that I was listening to New Order. I love Lewis Watson and Nina Nesbitt too. My favourite band is You Me At Six. I've seen Foals live. It seriously is broad. I never EVER go by the artist or genre of the music. If a One Direction song appealed to me, I would buy it, and I would listen to it, and I wouldn't care. I do have music preferences, but I'm not a strong believer in only liking one type of music.

My music taste was highly influenced, and stemmed, from my dad when I was really young. My favourite bands were Blink-182 and Good Charlotte, and I hated McFly. My recent music taste, however, has been influenced by my brother. He introduced me to some of my favourite bands, but I have explored and discovered new bands and genres.

Here are some bands/artists I would recommend listening to! Let me know in the comments or on twitter @graciousgannon what you think. Be honest by the way, it is the best policy;)

1. You Me At Six
2. The Crookes
3. Lewis Watson
4. Blink-182
5. Lower Than Atlantis
6. The Coasts
7. Foals
8. The 1975
9. Young Kato
10. Canterbury

Also, please leave suggestions of artists or songs, either in the comments or tweet me @graciousgannon (again) I'd be more than happy to be introduced to some different music!:D

Happy Listening & May The Force Be With You,
Grace x
