The Royal Concept, Foster the People, The Maine, things of the like. The Maine is probably at the top currently.

@LJS9502_basic: That's actually how I got back into them. I liked them in the 80's, but then "outgrew" them in my teens because I thought they were just fluffy pop. Then I gave them a re-listening to as an adult, and I realized that they actually are mad talented and have some really good lyrics.

I wasn't sure if you were referring to bands vs. musical acts in general, so I just put down my top 10 bands and left out solo artists/trance producers that I listen to.

@LJS9502_basic: It does. I saw them in concert this summer and half the set list was Drunken Lullabies songs. Twas a great concert (minus the part where I was briefly kicked out for sneaking in a bottle of whiskey).
