As far as bands go, one of my favorite bands since I was really young is Linkin Park. My mom always used to listen to them, and I got hooked on their music, too. They're a really interesting rock/alternative band, and not all their songs are just "headbanging" rock. Honestly, you don't even need to like rock to listen to them. I prefer pop music but I still love LP.
Other than LP, I don't really have any other favorite "bands," but there are certain artists I really like, namely Bruno Mars. His music is awesome, ranging from really sweet, reallu fun to dance to, and really funny! The Lazy Song is a prime example. He's got a very nice voice,
and he writes all his own music. Plus, he's pretty good-looking, too. <3
Other artists I enjoy include Katy Perry, The Black Eyed Peas, Enrique Iglesias, and many others. (I'm actually quite fond of many different types of music.
