What Music Means to Me

  Music to me is magical.  I can't go a day without listening to at least a few songs.  I love listening to music and even singing along with the artist.  I listen to many different genres but my favorite by far is rock.  Now when I say rock I mean practically every kind of rock, ranging from classic rock to hard rock to indie to alternative.  I'm not a big fan of today's rock much as there aren't any truly "just rock" bands out there.  I am a fan of hundreds of bands from the 60s, the 70s, the 80s, the 90s, and the 00s as well.  My favorite band has always been Linkin Park. I started listening to them since the end of elementary and I've been a fan since.  They are probably the only modern band that I still listen to regularly.  They have so many messages in their songs that I feel make them all more powerful.  Most of their songs from their 3rd album on speak about war and many effects of war.  These messages I find amazing and they almost always get me thinking about the world.  I am also a huge fan of Avenged Sevenfold.  I started listening to them in middle school as my friends were all big fans.  Their music I can listen to in any situation which is why I feel their music is great.  Their songs go from very hard rock to different genres, as a couple of songs sound a little western as well.  Another huge band I got into during middle school was Nirvana.  Their grunge genre I found awesome and I am a huge fan to this day.  Bands that always get me into a good mood are The Beatles and Queen.  Both bands are legendary and it's easy to see why.  I love both bands and they are great mood boosters no matter how I am feeling.
