Your list is interesting. I don't know who most of those bands are. How OLD am I?? But I agree with the Smashing Pumpkins and Queen.
ReplyDeleteMy list would include the Beatles (anything really), Coldplay "Parachutes", and the song "Best of You" by Foo Fighters.
I'm sure there's more, but I'm a little slow today. :)
Great choices Ladies! I loooove animal collective, panda bear, the weepies, she&him and spoon! Coldplay is a good one too. And the beatles and beach boys never go outta style.
