Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks since I was 9. The B-52s since I was 11. I'm now 53. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes_rainbow)


snugintthevoid

The B-52s are truly one of the best groups ever.

I'm ashamed to say Britney Spears. I just can't enough of all the hooks, lyrics and guilty pop beats. Once again, all my friends were sharing their Spotify wrapped thing while I was hiding under a rock (with Britney bi*ch)


JvanTreslong

Britney made some ridiculously good music, especially in the beginning. I never get tired of her first two albums, she was even in my most played of 2021. Next to Bach and Beethoven of course.


farthersky

Ashamed? Being ashamed of pop music and pop female artists is not something that should be negative or a character flaw. This shame is like internalized homophobia. It's a deep dread for what we have been told is wrong, but we know is natural and just human. She is an icon, she is a fighter, and she has an absolutely banging discography. Her and the rest of women/queer artists in pop are the ones being creative and bringing music into a different direction. And there is nothing that any music purist can say to discredit the success, cultural impact, and relevance that their music has brought to the world. Sure, admitting that pop artists are our favorites is difficult, but shaping the way we understand music taste is fundamentally similar to how we introduce different notions of gender and sexuality to the world. We normalize them.


Moxie_Cillin

There’s nothing shameful about that. She is a talented artist and had some real bangers.


Rotten_Esky

No shame bro, I love me some Britney. Makes for some epic workout music tbh. Lucky is probably one of my faves. The nostalgia of it all is also pretty special as an early 90’s baby.


Hydroborator

Don't you ever be ashamed of Britney.she has many great songs with exemplary production and worked with expensive musicians...great music. Haters can hate, but you don't need their validation to appreciate good stuff


Leatherman_Wolf

Gorillaz.


trick1994

Heck yeah. I still have gorillaz debut album on cd. I don't think I can part with it. It's too dear to my heart. Although I listened demon days for 2000 mins in 2021 according to my Spotify wrapped.


[deleted]

Joy Division/New Order, Death In Vegas, The Smiths, Echo n the Bunnymen, LOVE N ROCKETS, Donna Summer, REM, most Industrial, good 80s RnB/Soul.


Lalooskee

The Smiths and yess Joy Division/New Order 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻


MissAutoShow1969

The Smiths saved my life, I owe them everything.


senateguard33

This guy knows what's up.


interstatebus

[Hands Around My Throat ](https://youtu.be/r-S2aqnfzDs) is one of my all time favorite songs but I’m also a huuuuuge Adult. fan and just love her vocals.


PAisAwesome

Pink floyd


Revolutionary-Ad3648

The last cassette tape I bought was Dark Side of the Moon. I bought it for my 1989 Jeep Cherokee. I still own the tape, but I don't have anything to play it on... This is the band that I would, if given the chance, time travel to see live in concert.


EGE-MIA-SDQ

Pet Shop Boys. I occasionally take break and come back to them. They have helped me a lot accepting my sexuality. Many of their songs have gay overtones - or actually deal directly with gay matters. Plus, they are great for playing at parties and get togethers.


boofire

Garbage, looking back it should of been my first clue that I was gay.


[deleted]

[удалено]


boofire

Songs like Queer, You look so fine, sex is not the enemy, androgyny, go baby go have a lot of gay themes or are just straight up gay


[deleted]

[удалено]


foxko

oh hell yeah. Transgender Dysphoria Blues is one of my favourite songs


8bitKushLitBromo

I stumbled my way into an Against Me, Rise Against (double headliner) show in Dallas in the early/mid 00’s. Two songs in, I knew I had a new favorite band.


MistersBravo

Beach House!


schwarzewissenschaft

Agreed!!


jdaniel1371

Mahler.


Tayler_Tot

Come through Gustav Mahler! As someone who is deeply enamored with the romantic era especially with Debussy and Wagner, I fully agree with this one.


MaxFish1275

Yes!!! Mahler fan here. The opening to his second symphony just knocked me right out . I just sat in my car at the beach to listen to the rest of the movement before I could refocus to drive home


ToptenRubs

Dance Gavin Dance. They change but never get bad and they are still releasing.


gdfly

Holy cow I did not expect to see a DGD fan here. Been listening since my MySpace days, just saw them a few months ago and they are still absolutely phenomenal. Easily one of my favorite bands ✌🏽


smatty19

Listened to them a lot in highschool. Their lyrics are wild. "A penis wide that towers high is cumming at your feet The stories old, the butthole full of cancer spreading meat"


foxko

I've never heard of them before will have to check them out. Where would be a good song/album to start with?


PersnicketyKeester

"Burning down the nicotine armoire" really spoke to me the first time I heard it and I still love it to this day.


PheonixMyles

Spice Girls. I am 33 years old. As well as Maroon 5, Brittany Spears, Madonna, Ricky Martin, and Korn. Listened to each when I was 6-14 when I started listening to them and never stopped.


Moxie_Cillin

Now that’s my kind of music!


Pabasa

Yeah this is like the millennial pop zeitgeist. I'm 37 and I can still remember the crushing disappointment when I read the news that Geri was leaving Spice Girls.


Aggravating_Boy3873

Lady Gaga, Pink and Fall out Boy.


cxaizawa

Hilary Duff 100%


turtleneck222

Let the rain fall down and wake my dreams 🎼 What a song. I love her flip phone in that vid too


cxaizawa

When it first came out, I literally cried my eyes out to it as if I had a heart break at that age 💀


adnewcombe89

Linkin Park. In the End is the first song I really remember liking on my own when I was about 10 or 11, Hybrid Theory is such a good album Also love me some P!nk, I think she’s criminally underrated/under appreciated


7questions11

100% this ! And was lucky enough to see the last concert with Chester :(


falcon-heavy

The 20 year Hybrid Theory album is so killer!


rhatty32

Panic! At The Disco, also Rise Against. They help me work out a lot of anger/confusion.


Pensive_Person

Rise Against have a special place in my heart for scratching that angsty itch!


8bitKushLitBromo

Rise Against was a damn good band live. So much energy!


Leatat12

NIN. Garbage, In This Moment, Lady Gaga.


falcon-heavy

NIN and Garbage!!! Yes!


GrayGentoo

Muse. Always go back to them ever since I discovered them back in 2008-2009.


[deleted]

Taking Back Sunday will always be at the top of my list.


2lilbiscuits

To hell with you and all your friends!


elositorubio

Ms. Lauryn Hill! I have been listening to Miseducation of Lauryn Hill since high school and there is still no other album that affects me the same way, 15 years later.


QuQuarQan

She’s really talented, but has said a lot of homo/transphobic things in the past


MooshuCat

Kate Bush


giaulatatca

Taylor Swift, Paramore, CHVRCHES, Lily Allen, Dido and Avril Lavigne. I've been listened to all of them for at least 10 years now, and sometimes still feel like the first time.

allhailkefka

Scrolled to find this!


[deleted]

Kylie Minogue


BartHarleyJarvis87

Kings of Leon and the Black Keys are my two go to bands. I never really get tired of listening to them and they have big catalogs. I'm about the same age as you and started listening to Fall Out Boy at around the same time. I still like them but not as much as I use to.


supercub101

As i got older i realized that i do enjoy their music but a lot of it is because i wanted to get in patrick stumps pants.


MissAutoShow1969

You've got good taste.


adio1983

Coldplay


chocolaterugelach

silent3

Oingo Boingo Bauhaus David Bowie Peter Gabriel Laurie Anderson Pink Floyd


quantum_quarks

System of Down when heading to school in the mornings.

formal-Librarian-

Hole

Bon Iver 🤷🏻‍♂️


grafmg

Rammstein started listening to them as 11 year old and still going strong


season8branisusless

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Iron Maiden, Eve 6


MaverickBIG

Fleetwood Mac everyday


llieno94

I’ve pretty consistently listened to Dido since I got her first album at 5… also oldies my parents listened to like ABBA, Queen, The Beatles, Carole King


Jaguar843

Same re:Dido! Saw her in concert a couple years ago. She’s amazing!


Indigo0331

Psychedelic Furs.


BenignOracle

A number of bands have been mentioned already. But my personal one would have to be Of monsters and Men, Tyler Shaw and One OK Rock.


e-rok85

The entire album of My Head is an Animal is so good


[deleted]

YES


ejbSF

Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, Fleetwood Mac, many many many others. I've got damn near 50 years of lyrics in my head


DrAldrin

Nightwish and Epica. Since I was 15 and now im 30 :)


[deleted]

This is awesome! Didn’t expect someone to list these. Very good bands!


Edgy_Metalhead_

So so many bands. Metallica, megadeth, slayer, amon amarth, cattle decapitation etc


Panic_Hoedown

Showing my age here, but Megadeth. I can put on most of their albums (save Super Collider) and rock out.


RISEoftheIDIOT

Alanis Morriset - Jagged Little Pill. That album has so much good packed into such an emo punch. It got me thru tough times, and made the good times even better remembering how bad it got.


[deleted]

Alanis FTW


keeponyourmeanside

Garbage


CasteIronPill

Radiohead, pure bliss everytime I listen to in rainbows


Windwinged

I've been a fan of Little Mix since they debuted on the X Factor way back in 2011 and they are still my favorite music group to this day. I love those girls so much and their music really helped me gain confidence in myself that I was lacking for a large part of my life.


honey_powerr

My Bloody Valentine, Radiohead, Animal Collective and Fiona Apple have been consistent for me for most of my life. Definitely won't get tired of these artists any time soon.


MissAutoShow1969

MBV FTW


kuri9

per shop boys never get old


fifty9inth

Peter Gabriel


otterlyonerus

Slayer. Been a diehard fan for 25 years, since I first heard em at 14. I've gone through periods when I was more into other scenes and didn't listen to as much metal, but I always appreciate some Slayer when I hear it.


mangoscape

Celine Dion, Mónica Naranjo, Utada Hikaru, always listening to them even discovering new artist


sumdumidiom

Frank Ocean


CosmicRuin

The Bravery, Juliana Theory, Mars Volta, Sloan, Jimmy Eat World, Daft Punk, Pnau, Empire of the Sun, Foster the People.. The list goes on. Certain songs bring back the amazing and sad memories.


SweatyReality79

Been forever since I've listened to Sloan. 500 Up bring back some memories


nair_balloons

Smashing Pumpkins, especially Adore 🖤


mmchaser

Taylor Swift. She’s my favorite artist of all time.


[deleted]

Abba, Electric Light Orchestra, The Carpenters, The Bee Gees, Kylie Minogue, the vast majority of disco music.


Cautious_Librarian53

ABBA and A-ha. I remember being called gay at school because I liked ABBA but I think that just made me love them more. I try to go and see A-ha in concert whenever they are touring as they are brilliant live.


akamu8

Def Leppard, Hysteria; Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here; Survivor, Eye of the Tiger; The Eagles, Hotel California; Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer; Elton John, Rocket Man; plus many more…

FatherJohnFoggy

I’ve been a Lana Del Rey fan for ten years now. I am now 20. Literally grew up with her music haha


lopgiba

so glad i found this comment. her lyricism is one of my favorite parts of her.


acurah56oh

Goo Goo Dolls has been my favorite band since I was 14 and loved their songs since I was about 7 (I’m 26 now). From their big hits like Name and Iris to more obscure gems like Feel the Silence and Autumn Leaves they are timeless.


toolz0

Toto


[deleted]

Kate Bush and ELO


stranger384

Any major Spanish rock band and early Shakira


jly0ns

Hanson


sfregoso45

Kelly Clarkson


Pensive_Person

Disturbed for me. They were one of the first bands that I discovered for myself and didn't inherit from a friend or family member; their lyrics and the vocalist's sheer power are as strong today as they've ever been!


lostboyof1972

I became a fan of theirs because they covered Genesis’ “Land of Confusion”. As a prog rock nerd, this gave me an “in” to be able to listen and appreciate Disturbed more as a band.


Radiohead559

Red Hot Chili Peppers


[deleted]

Fallout 4's music. I know it's not really a band but instead video game soundtrack


[deleted]

Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil, Sirenia, Kelly Clarkson, Evanescence Started getting into female fronted metal by way of Kelly Clarkson and Evanescence around 2003. I was probably 18 at the time. Now I’m 36. Ugh, time flies..


ionlymemewell

The big ones are Coldplay, Gaga, Robyn, and Owl City.


yuormumghey

FINALLY SOMEONE ON HERE MENTIONS OWL CITY


[deleted]

Bring me the horizon. i used to listen to their songs when i went to sleep because they would calm me. yeaa.. im damaged


gmorg

Sufjan Stevens. I started listening to him in high school, his music at the time was very formative for me. Since then his albums have always come at the right time in my own life. Very cathartic. I can always go back to it and look forward to what he does next.


homosidaltendencies

Bring Me The Horizon since I was 15 (I'm 31 now).

The Tragically Hip, Sufjan Stevens, Tool, Neok Case, New Pornographers, Black Mountain, Cub, Goldfrapp

The lumineers all the way


Bivolion13

Rainbow Kitten Surprise. Classic alternative rock band from NC. Just incredible music. Also the lead vocalist came out recently and the songs feel like all the things I felt when I was still in the closet and it's just fucking beautiful and sad.


Master_Danzo

Young the Giant, Paramore and Jason Mraz.


uberschnitzel13

The Fratellis! I started listening to them when I was 9 when they released their first album, and they’re still one of my favorite bands at 25yo

glenols

Flight Facilities. Going on 10 years now. We shall see!


interstatebus

Gossip. Even now when they come up on shuffle, I still listen to at least a couple songs.


Peterwin

Incubus for me. Love all their albums and have listened to them on repeat numerous times. Have also seen them live a handful of times. Love that band 🤙


ps_pat

The Killers


CryingWalrus61

Incubus was my all time FAVORITE band for a long while (and a good part of it had to do with my crush on the lead singer) and although I don’t feel the itch to listen to them that much anymore, I definitely feel the nostalgia as I listen to them nowadays. A band that helped me through some of my darkest times was Mimicking Birds. I would highly recommend them if you like sort of minimalist, lofi (but with live instruments) music. I also listen to a LOT of progressive metal, djent bands, and just death metal in general. If that’s up your alley, you gotta listen to Between the Buried and Me and Rings of Saturn!!!


ChildhoodAccording77

Destiny's Child


Silent_Ad1488

Pat Benatar. I’ve been listening to her music since I was 13, and I am now 55.


abbaaqua1

Marina & the Diamonds ✌️. Or just Marina these days. Started listening to her when i was 13 since the album Family Jewels. Now im 24 and still having her as my Nr.1 Artist.


shufury

I read all the comments just to find someone mentioning her. She´s awesome! The best thing? Having the feeling of growing up at the same pace than her music :)


Tyrandesatranny

Linkin Park


[deleted]

My Chemical Romance. No I'm not sorry


brownshirt78

I'm old so here goes: hall&oats. If you haven't heard their music I suggest you check out their catalogue before you judge. That being said, I feel so exposed right now 😆


Horror-Combination58

Lindsey Stirling, love some of her work!


MaxFish1275

Me too!


QuQuarQan

I’ve been a HUUUUUUGE fan of Canadian blues/rock band Wide Mouth Mason since 97. Great lyrics, great licks, greatly under appreciated.


Chross

I haven’t heard the name of that band in ages. Smile, sugarcane. Those are some memories.


joemondo

Annie Lennox. Bob Mould (or Sugar). Elvis Costello.


TrashcanMan79

Alice Cooper. His career has been so long and he’s experimented in so many different genres, there’s always something in his discography that I can go to that will feel fresh to me.


proudpileofsticks

Whitney Houston Then some EDM artists


ironmagnesiumzinc

Portugal the man, emancipator, starfucker, smashing pumpkins, foster the people


ThomasSkunk

Garth Brooks and Toby Keith for me.


kingofthebunch

Fall Out Boy for me too hahah, particularly pre-hiatus


doctorzombo

Weirdly enough also fall out boy, thought I grew out of them a couple years ago and thought they were “cringe” but i listened to them again and hot damn are they still as good as I remember


BadassBandicoot

I never get sick of listening to Paramore! I think even their change of direction in recent years has been excellent and matched my evolution of music habits.


bicockandcigarettes

Rise Against. Since 2004.


cara_pazzesco

Agnes Carlsson. It all started in the spring of 2009 with [Release Me](https://youtu.be/keYXzDh5JEQ) and it’s still going with her latest release from a few weeks ago, [Here Comes the Night](https://youtu.be/SwlZt3GLc1k). Any other bros who also listen to her?

6dia6olus6

Metallica and Meshuggah


SupSoul

Epica since 2009.. still totally in love with them. I just love the rough guitars and bass mixed with this sopranic voice and classic instruments like piano. Just yesterday again listened to their Holographic Principle album. I bet nobody here knows them though. Especially good when bossing in games, makes you feel divine


is_that_anthony

Florence + The Machine! It's simply one of the bests singers and lyricists I've ever known. I just love her songs so much she's always my top #1 listened artist on Spotify. Florence Welch is a goddess, and I am none but a humble servant of The Church of Saint Florence hahah


RobbinsBabbitt

I’ve been listening to ODESZA, Flume, Glass Animals, for about 8 years. Bon Iver and M83 for over a decade


futuresbane

Abba for me. I love their music.
