Well, just like the six billion people and others en-counting, living in this world, I am just like one of them who are truly obsessed with music because we all know that "Music is Life". Without music, it's like we are all gonna die by a "Global Cataclysm", taking our minds and soul of boredom for everlasting life. Well, I am a fan of music seventeen years ago and still hearing it at this very moment and take a note that I will be an avid fan of Alternative music forever because what I like about this genre is that the way the music plays, it brings some soothingness within my two critical ears.
I can make a list out of it. Come on, Keane, Coldplay, Muse, Placebo, The Killers, The Fray, Vertical Horizon, Snow Patrol, The Script, The Cure, Oasis, Travis, U2, Interpol, Blur, R.E.M.;… come on… this genre is where the best of the best artists play, in this genre. Unanimously, it's Britpop that I liked most when it comes to sub-genres of the Alternative genre.
From the past five years, I have listened to hundreds and hundreds of artists and truly, it was a big turn around. I was influenced by my classmates to emotional rock, where a lot of screams and growls mostly heard in most of the songs, during my junior year in high school but it turned lopsided and decided to sooth my ears to different genre and that's where the Alternative genre comes into play.
If I can check my memory to pump up my noodle in my head, here are the artists I have listened for the past five years.
2005: Kamikazee, Parokya Ni Edgar, Hale, Sponge Cola, 6cyclemind, The Fray, Orange and Lemons (now Kenyo), and other Original Pinoy Music artists.
2006: Kamikazee, Parokya Ni Edgar, Hale, Sponge Cola, 6cyclemind, My Chemical Romance, Green Day, Callalily, Linkin Park, Snow Patrol, U2, Muse and other Original Pinoy Music artists but during the 1980's because my classmates said so.
2007: Kamikazee, My Chemical Romance, Good Charlotte, Fall Out Boy, Sparta, The Fray, Vertical Horizon, Restless Heart, Alesana, Boys Like Girls, Silverstein, Matchbook Romance, Secondhand Serenade, Callalily, Sean Kingston, Jojo, The Hives, Rise Against, Coldplay, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Typecast and many more that I forgot.
2008: My Chemical Romance, Rise Against, Alesana, Chicosci, Coldplay, Sugarfree, Silverstein, Fall Out Boy, The Hoosiers, Rivermaya, Good Charlotte, Secondhand Serenade, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Wheatus, The Killers, Weezer, Lordi, Death Cab for Cutie and many more.
2009: The Killers, Placebo, Coldplay, Keane, Muse, Vertical Horizon, Restless Heart, Survivor, U2, Cheap Trick, Lordi, The Fray, White Lies, Death Cab for Cutie, Snow Patrol and more.
2010: The Killers, Placebo, Coldplay, Keane, Muse, U2, Vertical Horizon, Restless Heart, Survivor, Cheap Trick, Lordi, The Fray, Basshunter, Travis, Delphic, Crookers, Death Cab for Cutie, Snow Patrol, MIKA, Interpol, Starsailor, Weezer, J.R. Richards, R.E.M., Audioslave and more.
You see the transition of the way I like my music. From Original Pinoy Music, to the emotional rock/teen rock world, to the acoustic side, and now, to the alternative mainstream. Well, I have serened enough that the loudest genre can't coped me in and it's like you can't the essence or the feeling of the song if you scream. It's all horrible.
