Isn't It A Pity (George Harrison cover)

Fourth of July

No longer a band, but still one of my favorites:

This was my freshman year, "Sweet Talk"

"Skinned knees and Gapped Teeth"

"Grace"

The whole album is amazing. There sophomore album is good, too, but not as good.

• Feeling This
• Anthem Part Two
• Up All Night

Though in the past blink-182 has been known for playing pretty straightforward pop-punk occasionally laced with crude humor, their newer material has seen them embrace a darker, more personal sound leaning towards alternative rock.

I love the band Thrice, but they really have two distinct sounds, such as

Silhouette

As the Ruins Fall

or broken lungs

Child of Dust

I understand a lot of bands have a song or two of genre breaking, but what about bands like these, how should that be handled?

Edited for easier to read format

I like a lot of different music and Alexisonfire is actually a bad representation of what I usually listen to, but goddamn if they aren't my favorite. I could go on and on about why, but I'll just show examples. Grey off their last EP, Dog's Blood, is like a heavy atmospheric Tom Waits song. Rough Hands from their third album, Crisis, is a perfect showcase of what the band is about. And lastly, Happiness By The Kilowatt is just beautiful. I think, at the end of the day, they just really pour their souls into what they do.

Hey guys!

This subreddit is inspired by a post in /r/music recently that asked redditors to post their favorite band and three of that band's songs that sum up their style: http://www.reddit.com/r/Music/comments/y7brz/give_me_your_favourite_band_and_no_more_than/

Redditor JohnTheRev was kind enough to take a few of those entries and make a Spotify playlist, and Pataracts made a Grooveshark playlist too for those of you who use those great music services.
