Top 3 Songs from your Favourite Bands/Artists
- Jan 15, 2013 11:18 pm GMT
I thought this would be fun, and interesting to see what everyone's favourite bands/songs are (also I'm incredibly bored and suck at games so there's no point trying to play them), so just name a favourite band of yours and list your favourite 3 songs from them. You can include why if you want. I'll start
Bands and artists are in alphabetical order, I just went through my iPod and chose my favorite three songs from each. I also put them all in a spoiler tag because the list is pretty big.

I've been writing, and I've got a story up. If you want to make assessments, feel free.
Modest Mouse songs: Dance Hall, The World At Large, A Different City
Altar of Plagues songs: Neptune is Dead, Feather and Bone, Earth: As a Womb
La Dispute songs: The Most Beautiful Bitter Fruit, You and I In Unison, Andria
I've always liked the more upbeat, fast and strange songs from Modest Mouse, I know adding The World At Large contradicts that, but there's just something about that song that I love.
With my AoP choices, I chose them all because they're repetitive as hell, which I love, and Feather and Bone has some insanely catchy drumming for the first few minutes.
I chose my La Dispute songs based mostly off the lyrics, because that's the thing that stands out the most about the band in particular to me.
